life on mars

Things that happened since I last posted:

-  I stopped liking the Patriots.  They had Tom Brady restructure his contract to give them more salary cap room, only to then screw him by letting his BFF/favorite receiver Wes Welker (my 2nd favorite Pat) go into free agency.  And where does Welker end up after the Pats made him a less-than-sincere offer?  To the Broncos, where Peyton Manning is.  Argh, football - it's dirty business. I am so over it.

-  My house got burglarized.  Somebody somehow got into the front gate, went into the garage, and stole a bike.  I was home the entire time.  We immediately changed the front gate lock to a dead bolt.

-  Veronica Mars movie is getting made!!!!  It's funded as a Kickstarter project.  They met their $2M goal in less than a day.  I pitched in my share.  Coincidentally that's what I've been watching with Chi Young on dvd these days.  We are in the middle of season two.  I love Veronica Mars so much.  Smart, sassy, funny, pretty, resourceful - what's there not to like?  I think they need more girl characters like this on tv and in the movies.  I cannot believe there is a second life to the show whose cancellation I still mourn.  There is some online debate about whether having fans fund a studio movie is a bad practice, or that people should be donating to more worthwhile causes.  But guess what?  I don't care.  Sometimes you just love what you love.  If I have to throw in a few bucks to get to revisit with Veronica Mars and her dear old dad, I'll throw in a few bucks.  It's just like Catholics who donate to the church so that there is enough money to pay off all the child molestation charges.  It's your religion - don't question it too much.

-  Speaking of which, there is a new Pope in town, and his name is Francis.  He's from Argentina.  Like Evita.  That's what I think about when I hear Argentina.  That and tango.

-  It was the 2nd anniversary of the northern Japan earthquake/tsunami/nuclear disaster.  Don't forget things just because it's not on the front page.

-  Sherlock S3 and S4 are happening!  Oh yeah!

-  I think my abdominal area is getting better.  The left side doesn't hurt as much anymore.  The right side did start hurting but that's not constant either.  There is light at the end of tunnel, which is good because otherwise it's not really a tunnel - it would be a dead end.

-  The Bay Bridge lights project went live.  I haven't had a chance to go down to see it yet.  But I have two years, so it's no rush.
