Aug. 9th, 2024 10:36 amDang, I forgot what a nasty cliffhanger the first season of Hill Street Blues ends on. And apparently it wasn't even a cliffhanger originally! Joe just fuckin' died on Lucy, the end! Dang!
Whyyyyy have I slept on Orly Bonder for so long? Three days into the work week and my nails remain flawless, what the fuck.
New giant computer monitor and comfy floor couch came in yesterday, so it was a busy night setting all that up in my bedroom. Now everything is a riot of cardboard and styrofoam, but it's pretty goddamn sick otherwise.
They denied delivering my new treadmill again. I stuck the TWO notices with my signature all over them right to the door instead of next to the place they leave all other boxes, so hopefully they'll leave it today? I'll go home for lunch to make sure, I guess, god what a pain in the ass this is. 'We'll try again on the next business day' NOBODY'S GONNA BE HOME THEN, EITHER. OR THE NEXT ONE. OR THE NEXT ONE. PEOPLE HAVE JOBS, UPS. THAT IS WHY I NEED A TREADMILL.
Not really feeling Olympic breaking. Maybe it'll get more... sportlike as the program evolves? Because right now it just feels like performance art. Fun to watch, but the scoring seems to be based purely on vibes in ways that other events like gymnastics (or figure skating in the Good Olympics) have spent many years working very hard to move away from. I'm all for adding new events to help modernize the games, but it's still gotta be treated like a sport, you know? And a dance-off featuring somebody named Raygun apparently does not meet that criteria for me. Feels one step above awarding Olympic medals based on an applause meter, especially when compared to the solid implementation of other 'hip, cool, for the kids' recent additions like skateboarding and sport climbing. (Not you, surfing, way to be insanely boring, you can go in the trash. Take golf and sailing with you.)
1. What Is Your Favorite Type of Art?
Not breakdancing, clearly.
