I've seen like 20 different versions of this scenario played out on social media the past couple of weeks. Always hot waitresses. My first response is, "I can fix her" and then I realize its got to be AI. Furk.
Went on a bit of a ticket spree yesterday and have a bunch of stuff lined up.
I have a couple of tribute shows up first. This saturday is Depeche Mode, The Cure, and Siouxsie & The Banshees.
2/14: Tribute - DEVO & The Cars I will be in my disco ball powerdome and red jumpsuit
3/6 Ages & Ages - Great Portland band. Tim Perry, the lead singer/writer, played my stage last september
3/15 NIN in San Francisco - Saw them a few months ago but need moar
3/21 Band of Skulls and Ghostwoman - Super excited to see Ghostwoman! They rarely tour the states.
3/27 The Thing & The Macks Gonna be a killer psych punk show
Speak for yourself. I care about every game. I'm looking forward to seeing some of the younger players work their way into bigger roles. This game and the practices go a long way to that end.
Would it be worth it in the playoff? The risk is there in every practice, scrimmage, spring game, pick up basketball game, etc. Should we bubble wrap them?
Personally, I want them pissed off. I want them to kick the everliving shit out of Michigan and then be out for blood next season. Having a chip on their shoulder is good.
I went over to my parents' house where my ptsd Vietnam vet conspiracy theory nutcase uncle joined us. He sat in my mom's rocker most of the day with his laptop while we watched football. Every few minutes he would look up and say, "did you know..." and then launch into another easily debunked falsehood. My parents go easy around him but I wasn't having it. I would look him in the eyes and say "That's bullshit. Where are you getting your information? Whatever site you are on is full of shit." "Well, it's Youtube." As if that meant that the info was vetted. I would then pull out my phone and show him real sources. He would grow quiet and go back to the laptop and then pop off with the next bit of fiction. What fucking world is he living in? I missed the opportunity but should have said, "do your own research." Dammit.
I thought this was an incredible movie, especially in today's world of seizure inducing superhero action movies. It's pace & cinematography left room for the story to breath. I had tears in my eyes as it faded to black. I found it profoundly moving.
