Take me home tonight...

It's kinda strange to me that after all these years with LEGO building toys having been known and beloved that they are just within the last year or so beginning to advertise them pretty heavily on TV.

I don't mind it myself. Considering how inundated we are with crap commercials for makeup and clothes and cars and liquor and restaurants, I don't mind the whimsical 30 seconds of watching father and son "Build Together."

And this one that I just saw tonight, for the first time, totally enthralled me.

All I can say is, "Can I keep him??"

I think Katie might allow it.

I hate fantasy football. I truly freakin' hate it.

I always start off relatively strong and then fail miserably in the home stretch.

This season, for example, I started the season 5-0 with the second best scoring in my league. Since that run, I've lost five straight games (which is likely going to become six after my pathetic showing this week). My defenses suck, my wide receivers suck, my tight ends suck, my kicker sucks, all but one of my running backs suck. Basically, all my scoring is from my starting quarterback (Aaron Rodgers of Green Bay) and one running back (Matt Forte of Chicago).

So, why, in the name of all that's holy, do I keep coming back year after year?

I must suffer from severe self loathing.

Nothing like spending a couple hours of your Saturday waiting in queue at the Apple Store Genius Bar. The iPod in Katie's iPhone had gone all kinds of wonky freezing on every song while playing in shuffle mode. We restored...

It took us a while, but Katie and I finished the final two episodes of Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks' 10-episode miniseries The Pacific last night. Our overall review? Not bad, but not great either. Why? I think it can...

It's the only way to survive this crazy world.

Just saw that ad two days ago and it really struck me too - great message and delivery. Wanted to grab one of my kids and "Build Something Together" but not Lego - it's way beyond my 5 minute attention span.

Beyond your attention span?!?! That hurt me to read. :-(

Love that commercial. Now I need to go watch the rest. And I think the Wookie could stay here, too. As long as he doesn't shed as much as our cat does.

I don't think I've ever participated in a fantasy football league.

The rest aren't quite do Chewyriffic but still cool.
