The cold rock stuff, current edition:
Collateral: generating Oscar buzz for both Messrs. Cruise and Foxx (having a damned fine year, if you've not noticed), and it looks sooo good and dark and gritty. Like a Michael Mann flick, then. Opens Friday the 6th.
Great American Country, a/k/a GAC: CMT's country half-brother, this is the UHF version. Not nearly as slick, but with a lot more country music per pound. Since getting a loaner TV set yesterday, pretty much all I've watched is country videos and the Weather Channel, because of...
Tropical Storm Alex: have I mentioned how much I love severe weather? Not being in it, mind you, nor the damage it does. But it just thoroughly amazes me what weather can do. Plus, tropical storms = more facetime for Jim Cantore, the Weather Channel's #1 piece of manmeat.
College football: it's time, already, thank God. The preseason coaches' poll is out (Purdue's #23!), with USC topping it by a wide margin. The Trojans, of course, are led by their QB, Caifornia-cute Matt Leinart - who has a blog 1st and 11. [11's his uni number.]
