Important Things On the Mind

Flipped through this week's City Paper this morning. On page 3, we have an ad for an Allman Brothers concert in Camden this summer. Two pages later, we have an ad for a New Kids On the Block concert, also in Camden, this summer. That's two different audiences, neither of which are probably reading this fine alternative news weekly. But hey, it's all good. The Allman Brothers were great back in the days before my conception and before Duane was killed. And NKOTB kicked it funky-style when I was a young lad. I don't even know what that last sentence means.

Mailed a check for my parking ticket yesterday. On the memo line I wrote, "Parking in Philadelphia is awful." I sure showed the PPA with that one! But seriously, parking in this city blows chunks.

So NBC finally pulls the plug on ER tonight. Ha. Unintentional euthanasia jokes rule! I feel like I've been hearing about the ER series finale for five years now. Glad to see Doggie Howser, MD is returning for the last episode.

Seriously can't get over the ShamWow guy and his little run-in with a prostitute. This of course put in him jail. It also got me thinking about the world's greatest infomercials. For me, nothing tops this guy and the product that makes you look extremely awkward as you exercise.

Not happy about the latest news from Sixers camp. Thaddeus Young will miss the last few games of the season and possibly some of the playoffs. That really hurts the chances of pulling a first round upset. Side note: I have not attended one Sixers game this season. There's something about this team I don't like.

Lastly, there's a pretty sweet exhibition coming to Philaldephia this weekend. Galileo, The Medici and the Age of Astronomy hits The Franklin, April 4 - September 7. As an asipiring astronaut, I am excited.

  1. Losing Young Thad (as i call him) is a severe blow to the team. It's hard to even get excited about a playoff matchup when their most efficient scorer is busted up
