New Obsession

My new obession for this vacation and holiday break is going to be Diablo Cody. Why not. I like Minneapolis, I like strippers, I like books, I like movies, and I like very witty pop-culture-laden-80s-reference-driven writing. So why not get into this whole thing while 'Juno' makes its rounds as the best movie of 2007 according to a lot of people, many of which say things like that for a living.
Do I want a sleazy guy looking for porn to stumble upon my blog and then get me a book deal like six months later and then get me a movie where my first screenplay gets made and almost zero changes are made to the original script? Um, yes.
But I doubt this will be happening anytime soon, and if you've read some of her work lately you would know the press tour has forced her from any good, solid TV watching.
So all that being said, I am running through her past postings and I am fascinated by her wit and direct writing style. So, I will go read her book at the pool in Florida and see the movie one night when the in-laws let me out. And then I will tell people it was a good book and a good movie and I will tell people that she wrote the movie in the Target by my house -- because she wrote the movie in a Starbucks within a suburban Target in Minneapolis in 2006 and I have to assume that my odds are pretty good that it was Plymouth Super Target -- so I am just going to go with that. Then I will come home, write about it a little, and then move on. Such is life. Next...

Also this...T-Jax blows and I don't like when people say that he is still learning on the job so he should be cut a break. Of course he is learning on the job, that doesn't change the fact that he makes terrible decisions, has shitty mechanics, and isn't ready to take his team to the next level and would get us crushed in a playoff game. This town is always about 'next year' and 'the future' and 'winning the right way'. I was too for a long time. Now I would just like to win, thank you. Its been 16 years thank you very much since this town 'won' anything significantly professionally. And never if you just count sports that involve balls made of pigs. I think Chilly, Sid, and the Twins turned us into those people - its a defense mechanism to help us deal with Luis Castillo trades mid-season and the dumping of Garnett for a solid youngster who no one taught to play defense yet. I digress I guess.
But know this, after two straight national TV night games, the nation is laughing at us and wondering when Adrian Peterson will sign with the Patriots.
