I hate reality TV.
But I really liked “American Inventor.”
“My Mom’s gonna be upset and I hope you’re happy!” I kind of like that guy, with his “space beetle Utopia.” For those who didn’t watch, a plastic globe with flashing lights, a racetrack, feeding center and atomiser for…cockroaches.
Also, speaking of media, what do “y’all” think of this Annie Proulx Oscar™ tirade? I haven’t seen Capote either, but weren’t they both New Yorker worthy? Isn’t that accolade enough? No? Well, why be surprised when a screenplay you haven’t even written gets wing-wanged when a movie ALL ABOUT LOS ANGELES shows up on the roster and wins Best In Show. Not like you got shut out or nuthin’.
A week late or whatever, but that’s how I get my news.
I listen to the NPR Quiz Shows* to let me know what’s worth talking about.
*Seriously, if you think you are Clever McSchmartypantz, you will enjoy the Wait Wait.
