This Sucks

1. My Best Show Fun Pack got here yesterday. I got a wrinkled poster, a Patton Oswalt CD (featuring PO at his best and worst), a FMU shirt, a "Scar-Face" "Get Ready To Meet My Little Friend" shirt, and a sticker.

2. I am such a terrible blogger. I start these things up intending to be honest and actually talk about my life, but then when I get down to it, I type something out and it all looks so insubstantial. "Who wants to hear about your stupid life and what you have to say about it, you ugly, stupid sea cow?" These are all valid points, so I abandon my efforts to check my Google Reader or see if I have any new podcasts.

3. Here is what I am reading:



That's "Everything is Cinema: The Working Life of Jean-Luc Godard" by Richard Brody. I would have flipped the picture but then you would have made assumptions about which is my dominant hand. You can see my dilemma.

4. Here is what I am listening to:





Goddamn nothing! I haven't heard anything since the Los Campesinos! record, and the new Jay Reatard was a disappointment. Oh, and in "Melissa Gets To It Way, Way, Way, Way Too Late News" I just got into The Jam. It finally clicked. What was wrong with me? I am such a creep.

5. Here is what I am watching:

Mad Men, Venture Brothers, The Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder on DVD.

Hol' up, I gotta say something about The Tomorrow Show. I watched one last night where he interviews Tom Wolfe and it may as well have been a conversation between my grandma and herself. Everything was "back when we were young, boys didn't dress like fags (or "wimps" or "weenies" as Tom S. and Tom W. respectively put it) and America is really great because people from all over the world want to come here and 'working class' people can still afford $50 flying lessons."
