- If you haven’t seen the video of Urban Meyer gnawing on reporter Jeremy Fowler, go watch it. He’s since apologized to him, but sheesh, come on, Urban. Even your first post-Tebow and post-”resignation” year, you’ve got to be mellower than this. (I’m impressed with how Fowler handled himself.)
- I recently reconnected with one of my coolest high school teachers on Facebook. She taught me Humanities my junior year, and guess what? She’s still cool.
- It took me eight or ten tries, and there was a lot of improvement from try one to try two and from try two to try three, but I have perfected the art of grilling ribs. I’d rather eat mine than anyone else’s.
- On another food note, do you like the bread at Macaroni Grill? This recipe is very, very close. Aaron is taking two loaves to school tomorrow to share with his class.
- I was pulled over for speeding for the first time in eight years on Tuesday morning. Officer Scruggs of the Madison Police Department was polite, professional, and let me go with a warning. Thank you, sir. I appreciate it.
- The Bush administration made a horrible call on the U.S. embassy in Iraq. The complex occupies a staggering 104 acres (appropriated, not purchased)—by far the largest embassy in the world, and approaching the size of Vatican City. Can you see creeping resentment as a possibility in the years to come? I can. Most of this land needs to be returned to Iraq as soon as is practical.
- I had to send Watchmen back to Netflix unwatched. I didn’t care enough to tolerate the run time.
I figure Urban’s head will explode like the movie Scanners when he gets waxed in Tuscaloosa this year. Psst, Urban, a word to the wise. You do NOT want to get heart problems in Tuscaloosa and have them take you to DCH. Bad precedent from a much better coach.
Watchmen was ok, but very long (I have the extended cut). I read the graphic novel and loved it as a teen. This was, ehhh, just ok. I really think it would be unfilmable – maybe better suited as an HBO miniseries. I applaud Snyder’s attempt and reverence for the material, but Alan Moore is such an ass, it’s impossible to get a decent adaptation with the original author. 2.5 out of 5 – you can borrow whenever.
Try the olives at Macaroni Grill. Yummy!
Bo: Humanities? Who was that? I can’t remember. Leave me a msg on FB when you get a chance.
Urb’s losing it. I think the 8-4 season that’s headed his way will be the final straw.
