Tuesday Lunchtime Thoughts
1. Did I hear the promo right for American Idol on 24 last night? Bono is the coach? U2? Bono? I don’t know what to think of that. Part of me wants to scream ’sellout’ but part of me thinks hey, if Tony Bennett can do it, so can Bono..I’m just cringing at the ‘gang’ singing something like I Still Haven’t Found and then Bono walking in on them. You see the difference between every other “coach” and this one is that U2’s songs mean something to me…sounds lame, I know. But let’s face it, this is as close as we’re going to get to seeing bands I like be coaches–I would still love Morrissey or Depeche Mode week.
2. Hands down, this is the worst season of 24 ever. Last nights episode was a joke. First, no way would Jack, a guy who killed Chappelle just to save the world, would give up this thing for a person. Oh, and could someone tell me how Jack knew about an abandoned hotel still being there 2 years AFTER he was imprisoned in China ? I know there’s a certain amount of implausability in watching the show but it’s really getting insane now. I’m going to watch it until the end of course (because I have so much invested), but I’m really disappointed.
3. Went to GameStop today — they only have 6 Elites and so far a waiting list of 20+. Didn’t expect that sort of demand. Also picked up all the new b/c games for teh 360 like JSRF…ironically I just sold it last week. Oh well, sell for $1 buy for $2.70…it’s not like I just dropped $70 on some Japanese baseball game or something.
4.New House, new Idol, new Dancing With the Stars…new Unit…how does anyone keep up on Tuesday? Is it me or are all the shows ending really early?
Okay…back to work….
