Weirdness on so many levels...
Weirdness number one... Watching Caps/'Canes, and the 'Canes for some reason had no goalie five minutes into the first period, and they scored a goal on their empty net for the Caps, so the Caps are winning 2-1. What the...? They just said that the goalie had gone off for the extra man for the delayed penalty, so it sorta makes sense, but still, who passes to their own goalie?
Weirdness number two... I was watching Jeopardy. But not just any Jeopardy, KIDS Jeopardy. I was oddly transfixed by Matt's 1987-esque rat tail. It was the thickest braided tail I've ever seen on a kid, and if you are a kid going on kids' Jeopardy, why in the world wouldn't you leave it in the back? He had it draped casually over his shoulder. AND he spelled cotton candy wrong in his Final Jeopardy answer, and they accepted it! Shocking! Anyway, after being wrapped up in the train-wreck-that-was-his-hair, I was further horrified by the Kilgore ad that followed Final Jeopardy. It was this woman whose policeman husband was killed, and his killer is on death row. She was insulted (!) that Tim Kaine would even consider a moratorium on the death penalty. It's not justice, she said. It's also not justice for poor people to wind up on death row because they can't afford a decent, non-overworked lawyer, but that point was lost on her. I'm insulted that she thinks her case is exemplary of every death penalty case in Virginia. And it always makes me sad that there are people in the world for whom state-sanctioned murder is justice. Maybe it makes her feel better or find closure or something, I don't know, but I don't think it's ever ok to kill people whether you're a plain ol' person or the government.
Weirdness number three... six degrees of separation are not enough in Washington, DC. Who is that guy dancing with my college friend's former roommate at 2 a.m. in that funny drunken picture forwarded to me yesterday? Oh yeah, guy I used to hook up with but not date because really, no one dates here. Sweet.
And weirdness number four... I have a buzz from a glass of white wine. When did I turn lightweight?!?
Hmmm... there was some clever link I wanted to include, but I'm buzzed and it's gone.
Saw the preview for the Johnny Cash movie, and I. CANNOT. WAIT. FOR. THIS. MOVIE!!!! I might have to see it over and over and over and over... Joaquin and Johnny, it's too much for words...
