Wow, who thought that after the flurry of posting during the Super Bowl I would go silent? Things at work have been very busy, and we made yet another non-stop dash to St. Louis and back for a Less than Jake concert last weekend (to everyone I didn't get to see, hopefully next time?). Here's what's been on my mind lately:

-The movie Firewall will definitely be viewed by me this weekend. The clip of it during the Daily Show last week smashed the Unintentional Comedy scale as we know it: Harrison Ford, in full-blown Air Force One "get off my plane" mode, pacing around a server room with fists clenched spouting lines about terminal access. Priceless nerdiness.

-I haven't watched much of the Olympics, but I enjoy reading about the latest failures of blowhard Bode Miller on the Google Desktop at work. This brings to mind a post I made a couple of years ago about the Olympic Men's Basketball team and how it wasn't that they were black, it's that they were pompous assholes. The same applies to Bode Miller, who will hopefully disappear back under the rock that is winter olympic sports when these games are over.

-Despite the seeming lack of buzz, I'm really looking forward to the baseball World Cup. Granted I probably won't watch many games that don't involve the US or the Dominican, lest I have to suffer through watching the overrated South Korean pitchers (Sunny Kim, anyone?) and their ridiculous throwing motions, but scheduling this event in March was a stroke of marketing genius. After 2 months of snowboarding, hockey, and approximately 50,000 games of college basketball (where *everyone* can make 3's), I will certainly be ready for some baseball that doesn't involve the disorganized Red Sox organization.

-I got cut off today by a car with a vanity license plate that said INUYSHA. Anime fans may be amused, but frankly I was frightened and confused.
