As I type that title it strikes me that, yes, I am at home writing a blog on a Saturday night, but whereas in my youth that would have been a tragedy, perhaps even a sin, I haven’t stepped out on a Saturday night for ages nor really cared much. I’ve become worse than a homebody. There is a massive indentation in this computer chair which is the imprint of my butt. Seriously.
My wife hates facebook. She’s probably not thrilled about the blog, either.
So, the whole point is, I don’t really have a theme for today so I will just share some random thoughts at the end of a pretty good day.
Worst translation ever: The HDIC at House’s rehab center asks House, “What do you want?” and House replies “I want to get better.” The subtitles said “Pivo.” (beer) Either the subtitle writers just heard beer instead of better and totally ignored the sentence that went before it, or they had Happy Hour on their minds when they signed off on that.
I definitely smoke too much pot. One joint is really enough. The second and third joints are superfluous, redundant, a direct violation of the law of diminishing returns. So, the 2nd and 3rd joints can only be explained by obsession or perhaps just compulsion. When you’re stoned, you want to get stoneder.
I enjoyed Sam’s football game this morning, I thought it was a bit mad to have an outdoor game in view of the season, but it was a lovely day, crisp but not windy, cool but not below freezing, and sunny, very sunny. Anyway, it was a close game for the first period and a bit, tied 1-1, then they broke out and eventually won 7 or 8 to 2. Sam got a goal. He also got to be goalie for a bit in the last period and did pretty good. He let in one goal, but it wasn’t close any more by then.
The cool part was after. They always line up and take penalty shots, which is a part I really hate, because I figure goddamn it, I showed up, I stayed through the whole game (really, I love kids, but watching them run back and forth kicking a ball for an hour gets boring and my feet hurt), now it’s time to go. Anyway, Sam was in the goal and he shut them out. On penalty kicks.
So, it was a good day.
