I'm a liberal secular humanist who enjoys writing, reading, playing video games and watching sports. I am a former member of the Armed Services who now enjoys the sweet sweet freedom of civilian life. My blog will be centered mostly on politics, football and video games. I'm not a professional hater, but I am a highly ranked amateur. Also, yes, I am a girl.

Football, Dollhouse, and Random Poems

Rate: 3 Flag

I've gotten a few PMs from people asking about my Dollhouse reviews, so here's the situation for this week

- I'm super swamped at work, plus I've got a backlog in my DVR, so I haven't gotten a chance to catch up on Dollhouse yet. I promise to blog about the first two episodes of Season 2 on Wednesday though, so hang in there.

- I finally caught up on Fringe. How fucking awesome is that show? The answer: totally fucking awesome.

- I'm glad Dexter is back. And boy, isn't a naked John Lithgow just the scariest thing you've ever seen?

- I hope you're watching Modern Family, because Episode 2 was even better than the pilot.

 - Again, very busy week for me, so I'm not doing a normal Week 4 breakdown. Instead, here's a very quick summary of my thoughts:

 1) Dallas loses! Ha ha! (*said in my best Nelson Muntz voice*)

 2) New Orleans looks awesome

3) Mark Sanchez was due to have a Dumb Rookie kind of day eventually, and this was just his week. Still love the kid overall though.

4) I have no idea if the Broncos are for real. That game was ugly on both sides - they didn't exactly beat up on the Cowboys, they just sucked a little less. This is also true for the Bengals, who seemed hell-bent on keeping the Browns in the game.  Hey, Carson Palmer - you know, you'd be better off if you realized that you need to bring your A game in EVERY quarter, not just the 1st and 4th.

5) Studs: Peyton Manning, Eli Manning, the entire San Francisco defense and Rashard Mendenhall

6) Duds: Tony "Clutch Play is Overrated" Romo, Mark Clayton, JaMarcus Russell

 7) The Roughing the Passer calls I've been this season are ridiculous. The league needs to loosen up here. Ray Lewis and company were right to complain.

Lastly, in place of a full post, allow me to share a random ass poem that I wrote many years ago. Enjoy.

 The Hand Poem

Your hands are naked.
They’re like that all the time they’re not
ashamed so why are you?

A handshake is two hands making love.
This is encouraged in our society.
A promiscuous hand
is the mark of a friendly person.
Celibate hands belong to unfriendly people.
Thumb wrestling is kinky sex
because it is competitive.
When "tag team" rules are applied it becomes
an orgy, because the digits function as individual units.

I love hands they’re beautiful the
cornerstone of civilization.
God bless the opposable thumb.

Bronco's fan here: clutching optimism in my cold, dead hands.
I may live in Austin, but growing up as a Redskins fan, it is impossible for me to be anything other than happy when Dallas loses.

Also: people in Austin follow the Longhorns, not pro football so much.
@Deb - you should be happy with your start, because you're in great shape in your division. Still... I can't help feeling a sense of deja vu here, since this is suspiciously like the Bills/Jets starts from last season.
Yes, Fringe is totally awesome!
We slammed a friend right into Season 2 of Fringe the other day and I felt a bit like a moron trying to recap. "Ok, so see, this is Olivia, and she went to another universe, and that's the bald observer guy who's in every episode somewhere but you really need to look at him, and that's Peter but we think he's probably the Peter from the other dimension because the Peter from this dimension is dead, by the way the other dimension is run by Leonard Nimoy...Oh, that's her partner, well actually he's not anymore because he's actually a shapeshifter; Oh, and Walter, well, Walter is probably the reason you won't mind not understanding a damned thing about what you're watching and will just enjoy the ride."

Funny thing is, he totally went with it. :-)
I don't watch football with any regularity, but am definitely a Fringe and Dexter fan. Try out the Good Wife when you have a chance. A bit 'ordinary' but well done.
Love the poem.
Love the hand poem...not been watching tv :(
