Fall is right around the corner, which means football is here. Women across the country have to put up with their men constantly shushing them or backhanding them for interrupting game time. Am I the only who does that? I kid. Actually, I left my massively hungover better half home alone on the first NFL Sunday. I went to the bar. She detoxed. Here's to football season and wasting precious hours deciding whether or not to pick up the New Orleans Saints defense in your fantasy league!
Most Americans don't know who Kevin Durant is. Those people are communists. Durant, 22, recently lead Team USA to a gold medal finish at the 2010 FIBA World Championship and no one really seemed to care. Sure, it wasn't the Olympics but when the U.S. wins a championship in anything, you get off your ass and organize a parade in your hometown of Nowhereville, USA. Got it? What makes this so awesome is that Durant was the man (66 points over the last two games) on a team of mostly role players and super young dudes without much experience on the international level. He'll next represent America at the 2012 Olympics. You've got two years to get patriotic. Go.
I saw one movie this summer- Inception. It would have been better if my brain didn't explode trying figure out what the hell happened. I didn't pay $8.50 to think. I was on the fence about seeing The Town until I read the Philadelphia Weekly's review. It confirmed what I already knew: Ben Affleck's career is finished. He should probably spend more time with Jennifer Garner, who everyone forgot about as soon as she got together with that mush, Ben. I found an ad for The Town on the page after the poor review. Warner Bros. would like a refund for that one.
Looking forward to the fall TV season for a few reasons- Modern Family, How I Met Your Mother, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Boardwalk Empire. I will probably watch no more than one episode of each show but I like to pretend I know what I'm talking about when friends, colleagues and strangers discuss TV around me.
Finally, do people actually drink 5 Hour Energy? The dude in the commercials is straight up creepy.
I don't care what people say. I'll always have a special place in my heart for Matt and Ben, even though their respective skills may not be on the same level. Of course, the real "king" of my heart is Leo. Speaking of which, why didn't our night of Titanic-watching make it into this blog post?
ReplyDeleteI saw The Town tihs weekend. It was mega-good. Eff the Weekly. Print is dying.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I drink 5 hour energy. But only when I am trying to stay up past midnight when going out drinking on the weekend. College!
I read a good review today in addition to yours so I guess I'll make an effort to see it. Affleck's ok by me. I hope I didn't hurt his feelings when he read this.
ReplyDeleteLinda, stop trying to get me to converse with you via the world wide web.
