Thursday miscellanea #197

RIP, Sally Ride. Thanks for the dreams.
RIP, Sherman Hemsley. Thanks for the laughs.
These Thursday posts have been politics-free for most of two years now. It’s getting more challenging to keep them that way, but I think I will. I’ve been politics-free on Facebook for about seven months. That self-imposed directive is considerably more vulnerable.
Speaking of, I’m quite ready for the Facebook post that consists solely of a drawing or photograph with a witty saying on it to be over. Folks, it was only ever so good to begin with. Please. Think of the children.
I took a bottle of Marie Sharp’s to work today and ate a bell pepper using it as dip. I dug it—and it’s quite waistline-friendly.
Checking out The Amazing Spider-Man with my nephew and the boys this weekend. I’m a bit irritated at the reboot, but yeah, I’ll play. I figure I’m still at least three weeks out from The Dark Knight Rises.
Andrew Gribble is writing a decent series of articles breaking down positions on the 2012 Crimson Tide. You can get to them all here.

Scott and I saw Spiderman. It’s really good considering it’s a redo. Enjoy!

AZ, I could always take or leave Tobey Maguire, but I thought the gestalt was fine for the 1-3 we’ve just had. Glad to hear you approve of the reboot.

I’m guilty of the witty saying one. I’m ready for the Facebook fad of posting some item or celebrity from the ’50’s, ’60’s, or ’70’s to please go away. “Click ‘like’ if you know what this is.”

Miria, I did it a time or two as well. It’s not a crime to have done it. It’s a crime to still be doing it.

That’s true of most things except LOLcats. That was stupid from day one and I’m delighted to have never participated.
