Apologies are in Order

Holaaaaa y’all! I had something I was thinking of writing about for today, but we work on deadlines here at IWS and I’m not finished (over)thinking about this subject so I’ll just have to ramble about other stuff. I will write about that other subject on Thursday. Or not. I might give up on it or forget about it or just think it to death. Overthinking about things is my specialty ya know?

So, I was listening to Bret Easton Ellis breathe heavily into his microphone on his podcast today thinking to myself “Damn, I’m glad I don’t do that cause that’s annoying” when I suddenly said to myself  “I bet he makes those same sounds when he blows his boyfriend.”  Then I wondered why I that thought would enter my head. I couldn’t think of a reason why though. It seemed strange to think that. He was talking about his boyfriend and maybe subconsciously I thought that and it made its way to my conscious. Hell, I don’t know.

I then felt bad about that. I mean that’s a pretty rude and crude thing to think. Saying it out loud would probably embarrass me. No Matt, it doesn’t make me gay either. I actually felt like I should apologize to Bret for even thinking that though. Not that he would give a shit. He’s pretty impervious to criticism if I did email him about this he would just dismiss it and possibly correct my grammar. Who needs that kind of heartache?

Speaking of apologizing, I actually apologized to myself the other day. No, it wasn’t some self-help therapy exercise or anything like that. It was an accident. It just happened. I was listening to The Writer’s Bloc podcast and as it was just about over I decided that I would go ahead and subject myself to Lena Dunham on Marc Maron’s WTF Podcast. Then, for some reason I unplugged my headset from my laptop.

As soon as I did that, I plugged it right back and in and said “oh, sorry!” out loud. I have no idea why I did that or what brought it on. I wasn’t particularly upset with myself for unplugging the headset. It didn’t cost me anything or hurt anything. It was simple enough to plug it right back in there. So why apologize? I guess I was just worried that I might have done something to upset myself. Or something.

I’ve also enjoyed reading everyone’s tweets and posts about the movie “Noah” starring Russell Crowe and Emma Watson and a few others. It’s interesting to see how people react to the movie and how dismissive some are about its accuracy. Unlike everyone else on Facebook and Twitter I’m no biblical scholar (or lawyer, or Russia expert, or doctor … damn, ya’ll are all so much smarter and better educated than me! Not to mention better looking. That makes me feel bad about myself. I should probably apologize to myself or someone about this too.)

It’s not like the story of Noah in the Bible is hundreds of pages long or all that detailed. If you want to make a move about it, you’re gonna have to embellish a bit. What I found especially funny though was that while people were posting about all the inaccuracies of the movie and how it wasn’t “authentic” and shit, nobody included the fact that Noah and his family were played by white people with British and Australian accents. Seems to me that THAT would be pointed out as the FIRST inaccurate thing about the movie.

Okay, that’s all I’ve got. Sorry.

Random Buggery and Harry Potter...

I was hanging out on some social media site yesterday, there are so many of them that I don’t remember which one, when I saw someone post about being angry that she was seeing so many Harry Potter 7.2 spoilers.  I looked at this for a minute and thought “Why would she be upset about ‘spoilers’ we all know how it ends.” And then it hit me.  She hadn’t read the books. 

How so very American of her!  Why waste all that valuable time reading a stupid old book with all those big stupid words when you can just wait and watch the movies.  And then I got a little sad.  And then I thought “Screw you and your ‘No Spoilers’ request you lazy ignorant fuck!” 

Gosh I hope that person doesn’t read this blog.  She doesn’t, it’s okay. And even if she does, READ THE BOOKS DUMMY, THEY’RE WAYYYYYYYYYYY BETTER THAN THE MOVIE!  Seriously, try using your own imagination instead of having someone else bring it to life for you. You might find that your own vision of the books is so much more beautiful and fun than the movies. Well, for most of us. 

Anyway, last night on I’m With Stupid, we got all random on your hot, shapely asses.  We bounced around from one topic to another and talked about whatever we thought of.  Including a little bit about Harry Potter and how ridiculously long the movies are.  Then we talked about buggery in Ireland, summer activities and made fun of Fox News among other things.

So, if you are so inclined, we would very much appreciate your listening to our 45 minutes of internet radio magic that we created yesterday.  And you can do so using the BTR mystery machine here or the hand Google Player at the bottom of the post if your reading this using Google Reader…
