IAQ vol. 42
Q: What did you do this weekend?
Not much. Hung out with the family, went to a friend's house for Sunday brunch, caught up on sleep. The big story, of course, is what went down on Sunday night. A new Jesse Stone TV movie aired on CBS! Hope you saw it, I DVR'd it for enjoyment at a later date, a date when I feel adrift in the universe and need some clarity. Somehow I have become a Tom Selleck fan, despite never being a fan of Magnum P.I. and never seeing a movie with him in it. The reason: Jesse Stone. It's not that these movies are good, exactly. It's that their simplicity makes me feel like a kid again. The good guys are good, the bad guys are bad, and there's rarely a moment where you can't spot the difference. Shoot the bad guys. Make out with all the available women. Drink hard but hold it well. There is no need for reflection or regret.
Q: What NBA team do you hate the most?
A: The Lakers, by far. Hate 'em. Historically. Specifically. Symbolically. Fundamentally.
Q: What do you think of A-Roid?
A: I think he's a schmuck, but then again I always thought he was a schmuck. Of course he is a steroid user, how could this be surprising to anyone? When a league is full of juicers, and one freakish dude is dominating all those other juicers, you can safely assume he's a juicer. Call it The Armstrong Principle. What will be fun is when evidence surfaces that he did steroids in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. Plus, it's hard not to look at him now and think about the steroids. In the past, he could still turn to his unbelievable statistics as an escape from what a loser he was as a human being. No longer.
Q: What do you think of Twitter?
A: Not sure yet. I think I may give it a try. It seems kind of lame but that hasn't stopped me from blogging, facebooking, and watching Jesse Stone movies.
Q: How'd you like the Oscars?
A: Pretty enjoyable. Hugh Jackman was better than I expected, I would vote for him to be brought back next year. Slow in the middle but overall I'd give it a 7.5.
Q: So my friend and I had a little bet going. He's a Duke fan and I'm a Carolina fan, and we decided that if Duke beat UNC in their game a couple of weeks ago, I would have to wear a Duke jersey (player of his choice) in a bar the next time they faced each other. And if UNC won, he'd have to wear a UNC jersey. If he had won the bet, he would have had no shortage of humiliating former and current Dookies to inflict on me (Wojo, Laettner, Brian Davis, Jay Bilas, Thomas Hill, Hurley, Redick, Chris Collins, Paulus, ooooh! Danny Ferry, etc. ad infinitum). Thank God that didn't happen. Instead, I have to choose a North Carolina player to humiliate him. Who should I choose?
A: Tough one, UNC guys are generally not as annoying. Rasheed Wallace probably represents the least Duke-like player in UNC history, so if your friend likes Duke, he probably hates Rasheed Wallace. Eric Montross is kind of comical, but not really that annoying. Hansbrough is kind of almost Dukish in his overemotive facial expressions, etc. I think I might have to turn this one over to the peanut gallery.
Q: What days are you dreading most this week?
A: Wednesday and Thursday. Thursday is going to be a real bag of shit.
Q: What days are you looking forward to this week?
A: Saturday, when we head to an indoor water park. Friday, which marks the official end of Thursday.
