It's been a while since I have done a blog free-write, so here goes.

I've been enjoying Big Love more than the Sopranos this year. I actually found myself wishing for more of the gay-motorbiker handlebar mustache man side story this week. Oh well.

Last week's The Office contained one of the funniest sequences I have seen on TV in a long time. When they listed all the different ways Jim was torturing Dwight at work I almost fell on Kitty girl after laughing so hard. Moving his desk one inch every time he got up so he ended up at the water cooler? Brilliant. I am going to do that to one of my students who talks too much.

Earlier this year I was in favor of the illegal spying done by the Bush Admin because they said it was only Iraq, Al Queda, and Terrorism related. Of course they lied and now we know differently. I am not even sure why I gave all the DC cronies the benefit of the doubt. And now we find out the Bush team wants Jeb to carry on the insanity? Gimme a break.

Great new albums out right now: Flaming Lips, Drive By Truckers, Goldfrapp, and Wolfmother. I hear the new Grandaddy is really good too (it's their last record).

Mission Impossible III was surprisingly very entertaining. I went based on the good reviews and it reminded my of two episodes of 24 put together. I still think Tom Cruise is nuts and should not be allowed to laugh out loud and smile. It's creepy in a Jacko type way.

My sister is days away from having her baby. Pretty nuts. I am already an uncle to three kids on Rachelle's side, but this obviously hits close to home. I need a drummer and I will buy Dane his first drum set when he turns two.

I recently rediscovered jogging. It has been almost 12 years since I jogged regularly at Central during one of my summers in E-Burg and I forgot what that runner's high felt like. I think it might be kind of like drinking a Long Island Ice Tea on Acid. But that's just a rumor. My goal is to be able to run to Issaquah by this Tuesday.

Anyone seen the Documentary Murderball? A sad and simultaneously uplifting story about wheelchair rugby players. If this movie doesn't hit your heart you must be Dick Cheney (because he doesn't have one of course).

Wilco is on Conan tonight.

Mitchell Out!
