Thoughts on a Wednesday:
- Thoroughly enjoying the new NBC-TV show Chuck. But for the life of me, I can’t figure out how a guy whose name is Zachary Levi and who is sporting the curly Jewfro… isn’t Jewish.
- Also thoroughly enjoying the new NBC-TV show Journeyman. And I love the fact that they tell you initially what year he’s travelled to by playing music — every time, I’ve been able to guess the correct year before he finds out on the show… well, because I’m a full-on music geek, that’s how.
- Was today Bad Driver Day and no one bothered to tell me? I saw an almost-accident on my way into work this morning — guy wasn’t paying attention and had to slam on his brakes, rubber squealing and all, in order to avoid rear-ending the stopped car in front of him — and then I almost got into an accident myself when some idiot decided he wanted to be in my lane without signalling and without checking to see if maybe, you know, someone was already there, like me perhaps.
- Speaking of the roads, I’m becoming increasingly frustrated with the audacity of bike riders in this city. Yeah, I know we’re all supposed to “share the road,” and I’m all about sharing — I always give bicyclists a wide berth when I pass them. But I take issue when these morons are pedaling down the road and are riding in the middle of the lane. It’s superhard for me to go around them when there’s maybe 2-3 feet between the bike and oncoming traffic, and they’re not sharing when they’re going 15 mph and letting traffic pile up behind them because they won’t let anyone around them.
- I know it’s a good day at work when I get at least 4 e-mails from my co-workers telling me things like “you’re demented” and “there’s definitely something wrong with you.”
- Living in Los Angeles has its perks every now and then. I think driving around for a half-hour last night in Hollywood looking for a parking spot might’ve been offset by my strong suspicions that the guy on the elliptical trainer next to mine tonight at the gym was the dude who plays Alejandro on Heroes.
