T-G-I-Seriously???

Let me just say that my Friday has already gotten very weird.

First of all, there's the waking up in a non-drunken-hung-over-daze-of-frustration at the Crap that was the Boston Red Sox last night. (Jon Lester...you pitched the Sox to a World Series victory in '07, you pitched a no-hitter in Kansas City in '08, and before all of that you kicked cancer's ass. Sure, you're only 25 years old, but you're awesome so I'm setting the bar high. Therefore, THROW STRIKES. IT'S YOUR JOB...Damn, son.)

Then, there was the news that President Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize. And, though I voted for and still support him, I was somewhat surprised to learn that it didn't go to Bono, despite the most recent U2 album which wasn't really so bad as much as it was forgettable. As in I remember liking it when I bought it for $4.99 at Amazon, but am always newly surprised when I see it on my iPod.

But then - and this REALLY threw me for a loop - "Couples Retreat" rated just 11% at Rotten Tomatoes!! It looks hysterical in the previews, but apparently it's not - sort of like the American version of "The Office" - and now I feel disillusionment in addition to disappointment and confusion.

What I really need to do is get Jon Lester, President Obama and Vince Vaughn in a room together to explain things to me. And if that room happened to have hot chicks in orange short-shorts serving us beer and chicken wings, well...then Friday would turn into a win-win for everyone.
