Hey, I just noticed I broke 10,000 views on this silly page. Watch out Youtube and google!

Mrs. CG on the news

New TV

Ahh, the new TV season is upon us and already we have killed one show from the DVR. We got about halfway through an episode of "Up All Night" with Will Arnett and Christina Applegate before I looked back at Lindy and we said, ehhh. Delete! The characters were all pretty awful as was the storyline. So there's 30 minutes of every week handed back to us.

Next we watched "The New Girl" with Zooey Deschanel, which had it's moments, so it stays for now. She's extremely dorky, which is pretty funny. They're going to have to tone down the douchey guy to make it work though. Damon Wayans Jr. is on it for at least one episode, but they had to replace him after "Happy Endings" (funny, funny show) got picked up for another season. This is why if you've been seeing any promos for the show on Fox you've said, "Hey, why does the black guy look different in the clips from the show versus the part where it shows the four cast members together?" Or you may not have noticed at all if you're a racist who thinks all black folks look alike.

"Modern Family" kicked off again too and it's still a great show.

Tonight has "Community," "The Office," "Project Runway" (heyey), "Grey's Anatomy" (only for Lindy, not this citizen), and the new J.J. Abrams show "Person of Interest," which is getting mediocre reviews at best.

Kids soccer

Man alive, what a day for soccer. Manchester United won a wacky game 3-1. Connor kicked butt in his U6 game with a hat trick. My U8 team played harder than I've ever seen and Logan found his running legs finally. I didn't want to play today, but it turned out to be a good one.

FB

I've been on facebook now for about two months and have decided to either find more guy friends who post or just quit altogether. Yeesh the women out there are dull. Not all of them, but more than a few.

Finally...

In a world where there is war, famine, ridiculous politics, terrorism, and myriad other problems, there will always be famous titties to bring us back together.

9/11

This still makes me cry. Remember the unity this country had for the first year after the attacks? Remember the outpouring of goodwill from the rest of the world? Why can't we get back to that?

Worst reason to vote for Perry

"Well, I am an evangelical." This is what someone said to me here at work. Wow.

It's been a bit

I haven't been writing on this much as of late and I think it is probably due to my joining of facebook. It's easier to type something stupid on my phone and put it up there than it is to sit down and type something stupid on here. Now, what's happening in these parts.

Well, I have apparently gotten to a point in my life where if I am not enjoying a book or movie I have no problem stopping reading/watching instead of slogging it out. The book? A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court by Twain. Yuck. The narrator was an asshole and I didn't see any end in sight to his being an asshole, so now it lays in the books for sale pile on my desk. The movie? Another Year. This got an 80 on metacritic and we saw a preview for it on another dvd. We got through about an hour of this before Lindy fell asleep and I said screw it. All for one character too. That's right Mary, you were the reason because you were annoying as hell. The script was up for best original screenplay too, but I'm not sure why. There was no natural flow to it. Instead, it just felt like a bad play. So screw you Another Year.

We started soccer again and I think I'm done coaching. My team coul give two shits about being out there which makes it feel absolutely pointless. I think I'll be sitting on the sidelines next year playing on my phone.

I bought the Kills' latest album Blood Pressures last week. It's not all around great, but it has a few fantastic tracks on it like "Future Starts Slow" and "Nail in my Coffin."

As for music, the Ezra Furman Kickstarter project got some of my money, so there's that to look forward too. If you haven't listened to this guy, you must. He's not getting the young genius label from the big music mags, but he should. I don't know if it's lack of self-promotion or what, but if they labeled Conor Oberst as the next Dylan however many years ago with all of his pretentiousness, then they're missing something big with Ezra. He makes humble, heartfelt music that's fun too.

Oh, I'll be tackling Infinite Jest next in the book department. We'll see how that goes.

That's all. Cheers.
