Random Thoughts

Anyone have any thoughts on the new HBO show, True Blood? I had high hopes and was a bit disappointed but will definitely give it some more time.

Suffice to say, it's great to see the return of Entourage, which is one of the top three shows on YV.

I bough the new Tom Friedman bok but haven't opened yet. Interesting premise to this one but seems more a continuation of the World is Flat than anything else.

My Michigan Wolverines suck. At least we knew this going into the season But man oh man; I can't recollect a Michigan team this bad.

Tons of good new music out there. A few things I've been listening to include the new Verve, Steinski (best album of the year according to Pitchfork. If you liked Girl Talk you will like this), Flying Lotus ("FlyLo") and Ra Ra Riot. If I didn't work with a lot of young people I'd never have heard of any of these bands, btw.

Yankees season is over. I feel bad for the Little Boy. He never gives up hope and has yet to accept this reality.

I really liked True Blood. Dig the whole Southern Gothic thing - very much like David Lynch in the South with vampires.
As for Michigan - despite the meltdown I'm very encouraged by the team so far. I would say 90
% of the offense was generated by freshman or redshirt freshman. Great experience for the future. Give them a chance.

I like True Blood, but my wife thinks it's a soft porn snuff flick
