I'm leaving Sunday. Sunday, I hop in the car and begin the weeklong drive to Los Angeles. Which means that I have ten tons of things to accomplish between now & then.

Which makes my television time all that much more precious. If I'm going to choose TV as vegetation fodder, I'd like to see commercials for things other than stupid-ass movies like Super Troopers. Who in God's name greenlighted this project? I get the feeling that it will be used in the future as a psychological warfare tool against cults or whoever, like when the U.S. government blasted Nancy Sinatra records at the Branch Davidian compound when they were holing up in Waco, Texas. Just put up a giant drive-in movie screen next to the building, start showing Super Troopers and whoever's inside will come running out screaming and clutching their heads to try to prevent their brains from committing hari-kari.

Oh, the humanity...
