Random Musings



Is it just me or is creating an event on facebook surprisingly difficult? Setting the date and filling out a description is pretty easy but picking who to invite to the event can prove rather troublesome. As I click on people to invite my mind is overcome with thoughts that generally only exist in the minds of pre-pubescent girls. "If I invite him does that mean I have to invite her as well?" "If I don't invite her and she finds out what do I say?" Facebook needs to make events be completely invisible unless you are invited.

How has Barry Bonds not hired a hit man to kill Mark Fainaru-Wada? Fainaru-Wada wrote the book "Game of Shadows" which pretty much killed all of Bond's endorsement money, ended his playing career early, and triggered a federal perjury investigation. And Fainaru-Wada didn't stop there. After writing the book he took a job with ESPN that's sole purpose was follow Bonds and find more incriminating evidence. Bonds will pay his trainer to sit in jail rather than testify but he won't pay a hit man? That's a story that needs investigating.

How do you make Teen Wolf and American Werewolf in London and not use the epic ballad "Werewolves of London" in either of them?

It's no secret that part of the Super Bowl's success is due to it being on a Sunday and having a week or two weeks of build-up. With this in mind the World Series, NBA Finals, and Stanley Cup Playoffs should schedule all game 7s on Sundays and start them at 5:30 central time. They also should schedule a minimum of two days between game 6 and game 7 to allow for hype to build-up.

I'm not a fan of horror movies but this trailer does intrigue me -


For those who liked that cover of "Sweet Child O' Mine" it was done by Taken By Trees.

Re facebook events: such a privacy setting exists...in fact, most people use it. Ask me next time to avoid awkward junior high party invite panic :)
