Aww, man, can't they trade Tebow to Siberia or something? I seriously need to stop hearing about this guy.
This is me WRT the alarm over Adele announcing her 4 to 5-year break from music and her subsequent takeback. My initial reaction was "Yay! While she's setting fire to the rain, can she also set fire to all those CDs of hers that the radio stations are playing on continuous loops?"

Ah, very nice. My favorite is the bottom right, with the knife. The finger movement is just...lovely.
I don't know how I feel about the new Eddie Izzard series, I just hope it's better than The Riches.
In mememe news, we played hookey and went to the snow yesterday, and now I feel sick. boo hiss.
Oh and Kat! I have lots of clothes for you, mostly boy clothes but I did find some 4Ts lurking in Franny's closet, so some nice dresses for Grace as well.
Yeah. And Adele's actually famous for her singing versus Tebow being famous for being an evangelical Christian who's also a mediocre quarterback.
I enjoy Adele, but "Someone Like You" in particular is beyond overplayed. And I wouldn't mind seeing her take a year or so to make sure her voice is ok.
Plus, what java said. I might quibble and say Tebow's above mediocre, but he's no Peyton Manning. But if Tebow didn't wear his Christianity on his sleeve, he'd be just one of a dozen up-and-comers. (By comparison, we know nothing about Adele's religion. For which, let us be thankful.)
I think not listening to the radio (well not music stations, anyway) saves me from singers being overplayed. I am sure I'd get sick of everyone out there if I only heard the same 20 songs replayed all day.
I have a long commute twice a week (a client who requests me onsite) and have discovered how much faster the drive goes by listening to podcasts. Megan Walker got me into Books n the Nightstand but my new favorite is Marc Maron doing his WTF podcast with comedians. It's filthy language and a lot of it is indecent but it's also hilarious and insightful. Any of you listen?
Woot! My nephew just landed a job doing something with robots! His future world domination is underway. (Nephew's promised me some nice coastal Great Lakes property and to support
Firefly
for 10 new seasons, so I'm all for his progress.)
Matt, you are a hater!
I wasn't the first few hundred times I heard "Rolling in the Deep" played.
