Friday Night Lights is awesome. I have a stack of Blu Rays I want to get to, but I cannot stop watching FNL. That desire may crash into the absence of episodes soon though since, I believe, I only have 18 left. That won’t last the weekend. I have no candidate for a torch-bearer to continue the TV binge so I may have to try transitioning off to movies.
As I write this, I keep checking Rotten Tomatoes and keep seeing Man of Steel’s percentage fall and I’m getting bummed out. This has been an extremely weak year in film so far and I really thought Man of Steel was going to be the turning point. RT is not God, though, because the best movie I’ve seen this year has been Now You See Me and for reasons that pass my comprehension, it’s at 44% or so on RT.
KT milestones this week: the site broke traffic records again this week (single day record twice) thanks to E3. Sometime today we should pass 10,000 hits and I have no way of judging if that’s good for a random blog of random things started five or so months ago, but it’s certainly more than I ever expected. Perhaps even more exciting, after calling them out last week, Kazakhstan responded (probably somebody jogged over from Uzbekistan to mock them as they’ve been with KT for months) and I welcome them and the slew of African nations that dropped by for the first time: Uganda, Rwanda, Namibia, Tanzania and Botswana. So clearly the question is: what’s the biggest country holding out? Who’s taking the naughty stick from Kazakhstan? I’m looking at you, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Eleventh largest nation; KT target #1. Global dominance will continue. I have a map to color in to put in the Bond villainesque lair that I’m secretly constructing inside a volcano (keep that on the down low; I’m pretty sure I don’t have all the permits required for something like that). This is, quite honestly, how my mind works. Boo.
