So I’m flipping through my guide, and I come across this…

Worst show ever?

Can you imagine the person pitching this show to a network? Can you imagine a network picking it up and airing it? Can you imagine anyone sitting there and watching it? Does anything about this synopsis, title of show, or name of the episode scream “comedy” to you?

If if does, we probably shouldn’t be friends.

 

I learned something today. It’s interesting.

So apparently while Carrie Fisher was touring for some stupid thing that no one cares about, she admitted to doing coke while on the set of Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back.

Explains the funny nail, right?

Anyway, that’s not the only thing I learned. I also found out that John Belushi told Carrie Fisher that she had a drug problem.

Fisher said John Belushi – who died of a drug overdose in 1982 – once told her she had a problem. “Slowly I realised I was doing a bit more drugs than other people and losing my choice in the matter,” she said. “If I’d been addicted to booze I’d be dead now, because you just go out and get it.”

John Belushi told Carrie to slow down on drugs. This is akin to David Carradine warning someone about not getting out of hand with sexual fetishes. How bizarre this world can be.

This Blog of Mine

I’ve been making around nine posts a month on this site, usually talking about whatever strikes me at the moment that I’m inspired to post (like now). I’ve been struggling to find an identity for my blog, and I think if I had a more consistent approach to writing posts it’d be better for the handful of readers, and this writer.

My buddies derryX and The Fat Lantern have their niches –dining and comic books, respectively. Do I need to carve one out for myself too? I’m not sure what that’s going to be. I collect different types of toys (mostly Transformers, LEGO, and Marvel figures), so I could do posts about new things as I get them.

Last week, I picked up the turtles that I said I wanted just under a month ago, and I’ve been having a lot of fun playing with them. I’m really in the mood to take some pictures and talk them up, and I’m probably going to do that this weekend. So there’s one new post, and we’ll see how the figure reviewing pans out. I don’t know if that’s what I really want to delve on, though.

I’m 29 and I’ve listened to Howard Stern since I was ten or eleven, and I’ve always been inspired to be open and honest about things happening in my life. The problem is, I don’t actually open up about things the way I should, and shit tends to fester and get out of control. Then, it gets to a point where I’m entirely over-stressed and miserable, and it all comes out in a fervor of rage and anxious energy. Thanks, Mom, I got this from you!

It’s unhealthy and I need to break out of that habit. Maybe this will become a private journal that I publish publicly for ridicule and mocking. I’ve done it a few times in the past (check out posts I’ve tagged as ‘bio’), and they’ve been the least viewed posts on the site. I’m entertained by the idea of sharing things most people wouldn’t, but the reception hasn’t been as significant as I hoped. I like getting reactions to the things I do, and it seems that the really personal things aren’t what get the attention I want.

It seems to be the stories I tell about the things I encounter that really shine, so I guess I just need to have more interactions with people so I can tell more stories.

This Just In, The S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier Wouldn’t Fly (As Depicted)

Some dude over at Wired just took way too much time and effort analyzing the home-base of the Avengers for most of their movie.

It’s a fun read, and I’m not picking at him for doing it, but seriously? Of all the things to debunk from a movie in which a team of super heroes fight off an alien invasion led by a magician from another realm?

Go figure that the science wasn’t up to snuff.

I’m more interested in how a dude with a bow and a chick with a gun lasted as long as they did in the battle…
