I’m watching The Omega Man right now and it’s inspired my new look: crushed velvet blazer, puffy shirt, rifle.
This month my English pub calendar magically whisks me away to Ye Old Red Cow in London.
“Donuts. Is there anything they can’t do?” - Homer Simpson
Happy National Donut Day! Here’s a pic I took around the time of The Simpsons Movie’s release, when 7-Eleven sold a few food tie-ins. This meticulously reproduced donut made me drool just like Homer.
And since no one asked, here’s my schedule for the fall 2011 TV season. I can’t really say that I miss Free Agents or The Playboy Club. But I’m batting .500 in terms of new shows I watched that got a second season, which is better than most years.
EDIT: Actually, I guess I’m over .500 since I forgot about American Horror Story. But cable shows tend to have a much, much higher renewal rate (giving a show a chance to grow an audience - what a concept!), so I don’t factor them into the count.
For some reason, this yellowing schedule from the 2010 TV season is still tacked up in my cube. I make these at the start of each season so I can keep track of the (too many) shows I’m into. Yes, I’m a dork.
I guess I keep it up to serve as both a tribute to the late, great Terriers (shame on you for not watching it) and a warning not to get sucked into another crappy serialized show like The Event.
Hey, Apple. I know that the iPod Classic is the red-headed stepchild of your product line, but how about releasing a higher capacity one? As you can see, mine is about to hit critical mass and you’re long overdue in putting out a new iPod. There’s a subset of consumers that prize having instant access to their entire music library over apps and such. We are legion. We won’t be denied. Anyway, I’d really appreciate it. Think about it. Thanks.
She’s a killer queen.
