Tuesday's Gone
Tuesday night stuff:
* Al Gore's movie: Must see. It's science, not politics.
* Either somebody laced my Accelerade with PCP, or William Shatner is providing a seriously ridiculous interpretation of Elton John/Bernie Taupin's "Rocket Man" in this YouTube video.
* Activated: Charitable titans. "Nothing is more offensive to the American tradition of meritocracy, said Warren Buffett, than rich men being able to pass on 'dynastic wealth' and let their grandchildren determine the fates of hundreds of fellow Americans."
* Activated: The running partner who falls asleep sitting in his car while waiting to meet you for a run. It would have been much easier for him to go home and catch up on his sleep, but he showed.
* Deactivated: Cowardly scum baseball players who hit women half their size (240 lbs. vs. 120 lbs.).
* Deactivated: STLtoday.com's redesign. From what I can tell, they took a bad design and simply made it W I D E R.
* Remembering: David Letterman's emotional monologue on 9/11."If you live to be 1,000 years old, will that make any goddamn sense?"
* Wondering after hearing them (and way too much Bryan Adams) in the Metro station on a trip up north: Whatever happened to the Canadian band Triumph? It's all hazy, but it seems like "Just a Game," "Hold On," and "Lay it on the Line" were anthems for my freshman year of high school.
* Mastering Ironman. Be prepared or be spit out. Sounds like lyrics to a Rush song.
* Funny: The evolution of dance. There are no words for this.
* Al Gore's movie: Must see. It's science, not politics.
