GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra

I just watched GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra. The first hour was not as bad as I had expected. The second hour, well...


The writers of that movie must have been inspired by Lost.

More Random Items

1. Florida doesn't have a bottle deposit policy. What a surprise! I thought I had paid bottle deposits before, but I guess not.

2. Cars aren't required to have annual inspections here. You just pay for registration annually.

3. I hate when NFL commentators say that defenses are trying to disguise coverages to fool rookie quarterbacks. Shouldn't defenses need to disguise coverages against any quarterback? Wouldn't a defense need to disguise coverages even more against a veteran?

Random Items

1. I just started watching Lost on Netflix on demand. I had paused my Netflix account for a few months after moving to Miami and when I restarted it, I activated the on-demand via PS3 option. It looks really good. I'm really surprised at the quality. I thought it might be related to my internet connection, but the quality looks better on my PS3 / tv than it does on my computer. With such high res, it makes me want to watch it even more - it's DVD level quality. The problem is, I really don't have enough time to watch Lost.

2. The Jets season is over. While I didn't post this on the blog, I felt like the Jets had no shot to win the game. After they pulled to 24-14, it seemed like they might actually make a game of it, but enough turnovers prevented them from mounting any kind of comeback.

3. Today, for the first time, I hid someone's announcements from my Facebook news feed. I never thought I'd do that, but for some reason, this person's feeds really were annoying. I have plenty of friends who post all sorts of random stuff on Facebook but for some reaosn this person's opinions and "look at me" sorts of posts were really getting on my nerves. I feel kind of bad about it but whenever I saw that person's posts it got to make FB less enjoyable.

4. This past weekend, I caught up with Smallville. I can't believe this show is in its 9th season. In addition, there is word that a 10th season is in the works! I guess nobody is watching the CW network, but they really have to let this show go. This season is interesting enough but it needs a rest. I think I'm watching this more out of habit than out of interest.

5. The Office this year is not as good as the last few. They may have jumped the shark either around the Jim / Pam marriage or Jim getting promoted to a co-manager.

Jets season is over...

You know, I just saw this statement on Facebook from a Patriots fan after they blew the game against Indianapolis:

"ARRRRGGGGHHHH!!! And this is why I can't stomach Pats games. :P"

-Was this person SERIOUS? What recent Patriots game has been hard to stomach? Please. The Pats are still handily in first place in the AFC East, certainly going to the playoffs and are firing on all cylinders. Oh, boo hoo, you haven't won the Super Bowl since 2004. What misery it must be watching the Patriots. Try watching a Jets game. That's a team that couldn't even miss a tackle on purpose.
