Ramble Strip

There's no stripping. (Sorry.) But there's rambling, usually in the area of science, politics, pop culture, signs that are irritatingly misspelled, and religion, or anything that happens to be on my mind at the time. I post on study breaks, so that I don't go insane. Insaaaaaaaane!

Save Our Bluths

I freaking love Arrested Development, and I love how they get all snarky when they've been threatened with cancellation. Such as, "Am I the only one who thinks that this family is finally becoming sympathetic and relatable? I mean, that's what people want to see." And later - "We're veering away from relatability again." Heh. Something I would not love? Lindsey's Hot Ham Water. Ew.

A favorite part:

Lindsey: You should send George Michael to Openings too.
Tobias: Yes, it could help him express his feelings.
Michael: My son expresses himself just fine. Isn't that right, son?
George Michael: What? Yeah, that's ... fine. Okay, I guess. I don't care.
Tobias: Yeah, he's a regular Freddie Wilson, that one.
Michael: I don't know that reference.
Lindsey: No, I don't either.
Tobias: Oh ... I don't ... know either.
Voice-over (a.k.a. Ron Howard, of course): It's THIS guy. (close up to one of the Village People)

And because this is my blog and I upload stuff, I've uploaded a commercial-free mpeg of Monday's (January 2) episode of Arrested Development. It's in the downloads section (where you'll right-click and "save as", won't you? WON'T YOU???) or you can right-click and "save as" here.

So. Watch Arrested Development. Go peruse saveourbluths.com. I say both of these things because it's a great show and shouldn't be cancelled while people on Fear Factor continue to eat hog brains, secure in a bazillion more seasons. And also because the episode kept telling me (yes, just ME) to tell my friends. And I do everything the television tells me to.

All right. I'm back in school, so I must sleep. Oh, and the brain? Is all neat. And stuff. And that's about all I know right now. Ory, any pearls of wisdom from neuroscience?

Goodnight all!
