Twenty Things I Learned in the Past Two Weeks (June 3 - June 16)
1. WHBF Channel 4 cannot light their talent to save their lives. Tambrey Laine, their lead anchor, could wreck traffic, but you'd never know it from the way she appears on their newscasts.
2. While the trees in my yard survived the storms this week, the winds did blow down my garage door.
3. One of my neighbors is crazy. The other neighbor likes to use his powerdrill before 8AM.
4. In two, maybe three, years, KWQC television will be unrecognizable from what it is today.
5. People only want me for my DVDs.
6. In the world of idioms, rhyming trumps reality. Who has ever seen a drunk skunk. I had no idea the species was prone to alcoholism, yet they are considered the embodiment of drunkedness.
7. Too Much Information: One of the unforseen practical advantages of underwear is they keep your shorts up at the urinal. This week... there was an incident.
8. Using "More better" in conversation is physically painful to me, and yes I did it in a conversation with MidAmerican Energy.
9. One of the hardest things to do is keep a secret you want to scream from the rooftops. Unfortunately, for now, I know that keeping that secret is the best thing to do.
10. The best position I could possibly have at KWQC just opened up.
11. I am a huge fan of stand-up comedy, but NBC's Last Comic Standing makes me cry and wince just as much as it makes me laugh.
12. People are pissed at The Sopranos for going out like the show it has always been -- ballsy, literate, unpredictable, and very, very, outside the mainstream. I've never thought twenty seconds of black could be poignant, agonizing, and brilliant. Those simpletons who always watched The Sopranos for the whackings and the sex never truly appreciated the show in the first place. God bless David Chase for giving The Sopranos back to the people who loved it for all of its genius, not all of its gore.
13. America's Got Talent might actually be watchable if they dispensed with the delusional and actually displayed the talent that's available to them.
14. The weaknesses of its sequels has not diminished the delight of the original Pirates of the Carribbean.
15. Apparently, the technology of high definition televisions is moving so fast, even the manufacturers are confused by their own catergorizations.
16. I am not a fan of my unshaven face. My beard trimmer went rogue on me this morning, and I had to go naked this morning. I haven't been able to look in a mirror since.
17. If you want to see me go into a blind rage, accuse me of doing something that you do on a regular basis. Having some troglodite tell me to "pay attention" nearly ended in homicide.
18. Golf on television is wonderful to nap to.
19. The 4400 is the most fascinating concept for a television show that was ever blandly produced. I can't stop watching it, even as it bores the hell out of me.
20. I will never forgive the makers of Deadwood for walking away from that show to go produce the treacly, precious John from Cincinatti (even if it stars one of my favorite actors, Bruce Greenwood).
