Where are the flying cars when you really need one??

It's all fun and games until it takes you two hours to get to work in the morning. What a beating. Thankfully I had Sirius XM, so when Entertainment Weekly radio asked listeners to call in with their favorite on-screen band, I immediately called in. They ended up not using my amazing contribution, so I will give it to you now:


(Tie)
Hey, That's My Bike (Reality Bites)
Frozen Embryos (My So-Called Life)


And then let the hosts duke out who was better - Ethan Hawke or Jared Leto. Coulda woulda shoulda I guess.

My high school alma mater is pretty amazing. And so are the graduates. We learned via social media that Kief, the Ethiopian parking lot attendant who is possibly the nicest man alive, is retiring after 30 years. One alum started a GoFundMe campaign, hoping to raise $10,000 to present to him as a retirement gift. In four days, Hockaday alums have raised almost $150,000. In FOUR DAYS. Amazing, no?

Something's afoot at the Circle K. Or on my street.

I got up early Saturday morning to walk to dog - like 5am - and noticed a woman coming out of a house across the street. She walked across the street and into the house next door to mine. At 5am. In the dark. And it reminded me that I had seen her do the same thing before. How very odd. Is she having an affair with a neighbor? Is she a sleepwalker? Why are front doors being left unlocked? Did I move into a swingers area? Why so many questions??


To be continued...

Yeehaw

Heard on the radio that today is the 30th anniversary of the "Don't Mess with Texas" campaign. Possibly because I was 8 at the time, or possibly because I'm an idiot, I'm not sure I ever knew it was an anti-litter promotion. Just thought it was a cool saying, like "Everything's bigger in Texas." Oops.

That's how basketball go

As a friend put it, "Well, that sucked, then it didn't, and then it really did." Pretty much sums up last night's game. It was awesome to be there, but of course would have been more awesome if we had won. And apparently Villanova fans are almost as annoying as Duke fans. But how cool to have 51 former Tar Heel players in the crowd, including Mr. Michael Jordan. I tried to stalk as many players as I could at the team hotel, but vowed if I saw MJ I might faint. (I did not, and I did not.)


Amazing season, and hopefully today will suck a little less than yesterday. #goheels

Moonwalk

Hit NASA yesterday and it was out of this world (ahem). Got to go inside a shuttle replica, sample astronaut ice cream, touch a moon rock and try on an orange spacesuit. Not sure I was really supposed to do that last one, but it made for an excellent Instagram picture. I bought a NASA hat, but what I really wanted (aside from the spacesuit - take a note, Santa) was the shirt that said "Size matters. Ask Pluto." Aw. #teampluto #sciencenerdhumor


Also, going home to watch Space Camp as soon as possible.
