president's day

- Deal or No Deal is vying with Wife Swap for the worst possible thing on television. The TVs got stuck on NBC, so I'm missing Prison Break right now for the most idiotic of all shows, ever. This is pure retardation. I hate this. I hate it hate it hate it, you get the point.

- I really don't know the purpose of President's Day. The Chinese New Year was yesterday though, so if you want to make some resolutions, that will be okay. Like, "I resolve to learn what President's Day is all about so I can properly celebrate it" before you realize it's already come and gone. Oh well. Maybe next year. Or Nónglì xīnnián.

- Okay, so there's this 40-year old guy in here acting all ghetto. He's a dumpy white guy, wearing his cap backwards and pretending he's a beatbox. And he's not trying to be funny. It's great, except I'm probably the only person in the place who thinks he's an idiot.Why yes, yes, I do live in an episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

- Apparently, a priest in Romania is going to jail because a nun died while he was attempting to exorcise "the devil" from her. Okay, take a minute: The nun... was possessed. Seriously, don't be Catholic. They're all whack.

- Was talking politics with my friends this weekend. They were saying they'd nominate Newt Gingrich over Romney. I was for Romney over Newt. I like Newt, he's about as conservative as they come, and he has a reputation for doing conservative things. However, it's really hard to criticize Clinton and laud Gingrich, when they both had their interns. That, and Gingrich has so many enemies, that the only way he could win is if the Dems nominate Hillary.

- K, so this guy comes in. Let's call him... Beremy Angus. He doesn't work here, but he's friends with one of my bosses. So he walks around for awhile, until I have to get up from the desk to set the tanners up for some people I don't like. When I come back, he's behind the desk, on the computer, on myspace.com. He's so weird.

- Mark Schlereth is filling in for Jim Rome on Rome is Burning. Mark Schlereth already has a defined sports guy persona, and it's not anything like Rome's, and Rome's personality is pretty much the backbone of the show, since he has to convince the audience he actually feels as cynical as he sounds. Schlereth looks the part, but he's a big marshmellow. Anyway, I can't think of a single person alive who would care about anything in this paragraph. Besides me. I'm not feeling proud.

- Some big crashes in the Nascar race this past weekend. I keep hearing Nascar is one of the biggest sports in the world, but I don't think that's anything anyone can boast of. "Yes, the cars went around. And now... they are going around again!! Woooohooooo! It's like never-ending goodness! Boy-howdy."

- And now, because I have a vendetta against soccer, some Sports Night quotes.

Dan Rydell: [on the air] We'll bring you the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat-and, because we've got soccer highlights, the sheer pointlessness of a zero-zero tie. You're watching Sports Night on CSC, so stick around.

Dan Rydell: [doing soccer highlights] Blake kicks the ball with high hopes that it will go in, but it does not.
