Remember how Doogie Howser ended his day with a computer diary entry each episode? I guess this would have been one of the first depictions of what would eventually be called blogging. Except it was closed communication since it was not online, of course. I don't know why I thought of this, just did as I was thinking of a title for this general update, or cookie crumb, post.
I know I promised I'd be posting about the Zimmerman trial and it's well underway this week but now that I don't have cable, I have to watch TV via streaming through websites and though in many ways this route is even better than broadcast TV (no commercials for one thing) I seem to always be busy doing other things on my computer and forget to "tune" in. Plus, I guess I'm not as invested in this trial either. I watched some, and it's interesting enough, but it's not like the Casey Anthony trial in that there isn't as much drama. Casey was crazy and it was all displayed during the trial. Plus there was the mystery behind the murder - all the interesting characters involved. This Zimmerman trial is a bit more static and we know he shot Trayvon, we just don't know for sure all the circumstances and motivations behind it.
How about yesterday's opinions from the Supreme Court, huh? Bye bye DOMA and California's Prop 8. Surely June 26, 2013 will go down in the annals of gay history. Like we "go down on anus." Bad, I know.
OMG, my new premium channel produced TV series obsession..."Game of Thrones". It took a few episodes for me to warm up to it but now I'm about halfway through the third season and an avid fan. In fact, I'm going to end this post right now since I have only a few hours to watch the rest of the episodes if I'm going to finish it tonite. No rush, I downloaded it from a torrent (believe it or not, my first piracy!) so I don't have to (like Netflix) eventually return the disc, but I want to get to the much-talked about "Red Wedding" episode so I can finally read wikis and fan blogs about this show without fear of accidentally reading spoilers.
