- I swear, I’ve heard the phrase “work hard, play hard” so much over the past three days that I want to put in the immense amount of effort necessary to invent a time machine so I can go back in time, trademark it and watch the millions from residuals roll in.  The next person who says it to me is getting punched.
- I saw TR Knight (O’Malley from Grey’s Anatomy) at Barnes & Noble last night.  He reads just like regular people!
- I’m knee-deep in Carrier, a 10-hour series on PBS about life aboard the Navy’s aircraft carrier U.S.S. Nimitz.  Yes, I know, I’m as shocked as you are that I’m watching PBS, but it is in HD, at least.  It’s actually pretty interesting to see the different lifestyles and personalities aboard what is basically a floating town of 5,000 people and how they all mesh (and clash) together.  I’m also pretty surprised at how candid some of the people are about how much they don’t like it and how bad things can get aboard ship.  Any thoughts I had about joining to become an F-14 fighter pilot (thank you, Top Gun) have pretty much been washed out of my system after seeing what daily life is like on an aircraft carrier.  I’d hate it.
- The new Coldplay single “Violet Hill” is completely great, and the band is actually giving away a free download of it until next Tuesday.  Do not pass Go, do not collect $200, proceed directly to Coldplay’s website and get it.  Now.
