the daily show
I watched a few episodes last night, and some things stuck out to me:
1. I do not give a shit that Bruce Bartlett or any other small "c" conservative/libertarian/dumbass now believes that George Bush is an incompetent moron. (Also, "Reagan legacy?" What fucking legacy?!) I have been saying it for the past five, ten years! Now I'm supposed to take him seriously just because he's not a liberal? Fuck that.
2. John Hodgman is great. I like him the best of the new correspondents. I think he looks like a turtle.
3. The joke about Deng Xiao Peng turning into a panda was awesome, especially since they completed it with a clip of a panda lifting weights. I almost fell off the sofa.
I completely forgot it was St. Patrick's Day today until I showed up at work and everyone was wearing green shoes. Luckily no one pinched me. I feel old, since I didn't even know there were any parties going on today. Even though the girl who's only two years older than me is going to party and get drunk with her hipster boyfriend, I'd rather stay home and watch a movie with Mark, and sip a nice glass of wine.
Someone at work today asked, "What's clip art?" This is her first office job, but still!
I am reading Nonfiction by Jorge Luis Borges. It's slow going, even though all the pieces are rather short. I love the way he's so in love with language. He's very repetitive (but definitely not in a boring way) - I can start rattling off his obsessions the way I did with Picasso at the exhibit in Vancouver - infinity, finity, gauchos, Don Quixote, translations, paradoxes, etc.
Whenever I see the word "gaucho" now I think of gaucho pants, because those are all the rage now. I think they look stupid, but then I hate pant lengths that make no sense.
