1) Conan O’ Brien
2) Football
There’s no one like Conan O’Brien who can put me to sleep in a happier mood. I just read the script for his interview on 60 Minutes, and I was literally laughing out loud. He joked about his new TBS show saying, “My own show again! I just can’t wait to have my own show again. I’d even take a primetime show that’s on at 10; anything to have my own show again,” taking a nice jab at Jay Leno’s disastrous 10 PM show, a guy he hasn’t spoken to since the Tonight Show debacle began. “Coco” proved to be a stand-up guy through the whole NBC fight, and when he cried during his last taping, I wanted to travel through my plasma screen and give him a comforting hug. Looks like TBS just recruited another faithful fan.
Football is still months away, and I miss it terribly. During my rainy Sunday writing my thesis paper, I was wishing I could wander my eyes over to some solid Manning pigskin. I know nothing about the NFL draft, but I decided I don’t have to. As a female, I reserve my right to not take part in every aspect of the sport. If I need some filling in, there’s always ESPN. Speaking of which, I watched the Kentucky Derby this weekend. Kind of felt like I was watching a foreign country. Did you know they have their own anthem?! I still don’t understand the whole hat thing.
Other stuff:
-The bomb scare in Times Square wasn’t very scary.
-A gorgeous new prison was just built in Norway for $252 million, include sporting facilities, cooking classes, and hotel-quality bedrooms with no bars. It will be housing murderers, rapists, etc.
-I love Buzz Lightyear and everything, but I have an idea to save the country’s financial crisis. I think we need to shut down NASA for a few years. We made it to the moon, and as we say in my community chulas. Billions of dollars need to be re-circuited to those without jobs, not microbes in outer space.
Thank you SO much to all those who commented on my last blog. Really appreciated. Maybe it’ll start a trend?
24 days until graduation!
