Sharing uselessness with the internet since 2004, for no discernible reason. Friday, November 28, 2014. Black Friday, future and present. Someday I will explain to my son that there was a time when the Friday after Thanksgiving was not commonly called Black Friday. (This will come after explaining the day preceding Black Friday used to be called Thanksgiving.). Heres hoping he wont ask why his father was spending some time putting this on the internet rather than being out shopping with the hordes. Back ...

Sharing uselessness with the internet since 2004, for no discernible reason. Sunday, July 12, 2015. Music soothes the fussy toddler (thanks, Doc McStuffins). We don't let our son watch a lot of TV (to appease the Parenting-Industrial Complex I must note that) but we have put on some shows for short periods when we need to keep him occupied (like when we're getting ready to go to work in the morning). We have recorded some episodes of Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood. To be able to play when necessary. The cav...

Sharing uselessness with the internet since 2004, for no discernible reason. Thursday, January 22, 2015. As my toddler had me up at the wee hours one recent morning, and we were due to attend our first birthday party of his best buddy at daycare, the following occurred to me about the term "birthday.". On the anniversary of people's birth we call that their "birthday," but generally I don't hear people refer to it as the day they were "birthed"; it's the day they were born. Labels: our wacky language.

Sharing uselessness with the internet since 2004, for no discernible reason. Wednesday, June 24, 2015. On the walk to the station one evening I found myself briefly behind a young woman proceeding at a slower pace and her head pointed toward something in her hand. Oh great. I thought, another smart phone shuffler, not looking where she's going and enrapt in whatever email or text cannot wait. I guess there's something to be said for novelty in one's inconsiderate behavior. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

~ Dougressions: Useless Super Bowl XLIX thoughts
http://uselessdoug.blogspot.com/2015/02/useless-super-bowl-xlix-thoughts.html
Sharing uselessness with the internet since 2004, for no discernible reason. Monday, February 02, 2015. Useless Super Bowl XLIX thoughts. Yesterday's Super Bowl pitted the established dynasty of the Patriots versus the emerging potential dynasty of the Seahawks. The latter got to the big game with a remarkable and improbable comeback over the Packers, where they really didn't play that well until the last five minutes. With last year's blowout of the Broncos there was no room for dissecting precisely whe...

http://uselessdoug.blogspot.com/2015/05/giving-in-to-dark-side-you-know-you.html
Sharing uselessness with the internet since 2004, for no discernible reason. Monday, May 04, 2015. Giving in to the Dark Side (you know you would). The more I think about the mythology of Star Wars the most unrealistic aspect of The Force is that any Jedi could keep from turning to the Dark Side. Look at what Vader does in Episode IV (better known as Star Wars. Had Anakin been portrayed by superior actors in the prequels it's possible we would have more actively rooted for him to turn. In any case, a...

Sharing uselessness with the internet since 2004, for no discernible reason. Tuesday, February 24, 2015. Getting grungy with 'Fresh Off the Boat'. In a recent episode of the new sitcom Fresh Off the Boat. The main character, Eddie, sees his cousin when the family visited. This cousin had turned him on to N.W.A. years earlier (the show takes place in 1995), which led to Eddies love of rap. So when the cousin showed up, now into grunge, puts in a CD by Live and plays Lightning Crashes. Only making it worse.

~ Dougressions: Why Super Bowl XLIX lingers
http://uselessdoug.blogspot.com/2015/04/why-super-bowl-xlix-lingers.html
Sharing uselessness with the internet since 2004, for no discernible reason. Saturday, April 04, 2015. Why Super Bowl XLIX lingers. From the department of things only interesting to me:. I wrote about the specifics more than sufficiently back after the game. We don't need to re-hash those details again. What holds any worth at this point is pondering: Had Seattle scored the winning touchdown (as seemed very likely before gave up an interception) would I still find the game popping to mind in this way?
