I've made a terrible mistake...

No, we are not talking about my personal life, though I could and you would laugh, at me...not with me.

No, what I have done is that I have promised to take TEA to see the re-release of The Phantom Menace (3D). TEA is going to love it.

Me, not so much.

FAU, I am expecting your scorn.

Wednesday

• Three states were covered in a Santorum explosion last night. Mitt and Newt were not surprised by this. They have experienced Santorum before. For Ron Paul supporters, this was their first taste of Santorum, and they did not like it.

• Rachel Maddow wearing Eli Manning's #10 jersey as the result of a lost bet was wonderful. I love Rachel and forgive her the foible of rooting for the Patriots. Maybe this will cause her to change affiliation. (Yes, pun intended.)

• Re: "New Girl" Two things: 1) I now know that Schmidt and I wear the same boxers. 2) (after seeing a pistol) Jess: "Oh my god! It's like The Wire."

• Concerned about the "War on Contraception"? Easy answer. Choose sterilization. Despise family planning? Don't have a family.

• I reread "The Big Short" last weekend and I am embarrassed about how little I understood about these financial instruments. I am only placated by the fact that the people who were supposed to understand them failed to realize their implications.

• I burned my tongue last night. It makes not eating easier. If it was something tasty, it would have been worth it...sadly. It was not.

Not to be a richard but...

• Pointing out that a number of the commercials during the Super Bowl™ were heterocenterist or patriarchal does not make you an observant media consumer or someone who speaks "truth to power". It makes you a scold and more easily allows me to dismiss you. Bonus points if you are quoting Mother Jones or Utne while making your argument.

• Doctor > Downton

• Pats Nation has taken the Super Bowl™ loss well for the most part and I applaud them for that but some of you need to stop.

• I am over James Franco.

• Pitchers & catchers in less than two weeks. The Mets could play .500 ball this year and still finish fifth.

• It is Tuesday, which means Manic Pixie Dream Girl tonight...

• I really like RunKeeper as an app the iPhone for measuring distance and mph.
