Put a sock in it. Here’s the downside of the proliferation of VCRs and DVD players. People are so accustomed to watching movies at home, they treat the movie theater like their own living room. We haven’t been to a movie in two years, at least, in which we haven’t had to give the evil shut-the-hell-up eye to people talking during the movie. Not during the preview. Not during a lame commecial. But during the movie! Libraries are the same way anymore. Etiquette, like Tom Cruise’s sanity, has gone the way of the dodo bird.
March madness. So, March, like all other months, is the official month for many causes, and it has official weeks, too: Like nutrition month, sleep awareness week, MS awareness, brain injury awareness. It’s also Save Your Vision month. What’s odd, however, it’s also National Eye Donor month. Now, we thought that the people who donated their eyes were usually dead. Why exactly do corpses need a reminder? But if you do choose to donate your eyes, aren’t you NOT saving your vision? Confusing.
Duh, it’s Colorado. We live in Colorado, and the weather is unpredictable. Let’s all agree to not utter the word “unseasonable” when talking about the weather in northern Colorado. There’s no such thing. 80 degrees in November. Not a news flash. Snow in May. It’s happened, more than once. And it’ll happen again.
Blame game. Speaking of weather, the weatherman or weatherbabe (i.e. Kathy Sabine on 9News) has no control over the weather. So, Mr. Anchorman, during your witty anchorman banter with the weatherman, for Chrissakes, don’t blame him for the weather. It’s just cheeky. And annoying. | |
Yeah!

|  | We're not that bright, even though in our own little world, we're geniuses. We like 80s hair bands and one-hit wonders, but among us we have respectable tastes, too. Metallica, Iron Maiden, U2. Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)

|  | What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!
