Rolling Along

• Top 10 toys to avoid list came out today. Gotta love it. Last year, wooden blocks were on the list. C'mon people! When did people become some paranoid/overprotective. Sure, magnets that can be easily swallowed are bad ideas for toys, but an expanding plastic sword? Its not going to hurt anyone. Let the kids be kids. Its just another example of the wussification of America. First they outlaw dodgeball (commie b*stards), then they stop keeping score in kids games (sure, winning and losing isn't part of real life, keeping living in your bubble people), now they put common sense toys on this "bad" list. Ooh well..
• If you haven't been watching the Celtics this year, you're really missing out. They're playing excellent, unselfish basketball. Making the extra pass for the easy open shot, communicating on defense and playing all around great fundamentals.
• Anyone else see this story? Its the one about how the Clinton campaign planted questions at a Q&A the other day. Now I'm sure this has happened in the past, and it'll probably happen in the future, to all candidates, but how in the heck did they think that it wouldn't get out. Of course the kid is going to run to CNN, or tell a friend who'll tell a friend who'll tell a friend, or better yet, it'll get posted on someones MySpace page, where it'll eventually make its way into the hands of a news agency/paper. If you're afraid of what people will ask you, don't hold Q&A's or better yet, if you've got that much to be afraid of or to hide, don't run for president.
• I recently passed the 1,000 page views mark. So thank you, to everyone that is so bored at their job that they read my ramblings to kill 5 minutes, so they won't have to work. I appreciate it (that's not sarcasm either).
• We also got news that a friend might be coming up. Not sure when the visit might occur, but he made me promise not to mention him on the blog. So Tom, don't worry I won't mention you on the blog buddy and the wife and I are both exciting to have you visit, even if we have to guilt you into it :)
• Anyone else sick of the Bee Movie ads on NBC? You can't watch a show on that network without them thrusting this movie in your face. A friend of mine saw it, and she said its not really for kids.. at all. All the jokes are adult jokes that kids won't get. Can't say that I'm really dying to see it though..
• Nancy.. flicking thru the channels I came across Rear Window on A&E tonight. If you only had real cable, you would have been able to watch it. (not that I did, but at least the option was there) Apparently A&E is on a real Hitchcock kick. They've been showing his movies an awful lot lately, not that that's a bad thing. Its actually a very good thing. We watched The Birds just last weekend. I think North by Northwest was my favorite..
