Conan has been re-runs the past few days, so I flipped over to The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. I hated the show with Craig Kilborn, it was very unfunny. The show under the hosting of Craig Ferguson was a pleasant surprise. I really like his humor, interview style, and Scottish accent. The only downfall to the show is that I don’t see it lasting long. Conan has the funnier show. When Conan takes over the Tonight Show in 2009, then maybe Craig’s show would have a chance, but will CBS settle for lower ratings until then? I hope so, because I don’t think Late Night will ever have another Conan.

This sounds about right. I definitely don’t talk like other people in Missouri.
These are things i need to finish (or start) by the end of the semester:
Now, I want to die. That’s a lot of work in two weeks.
I read this at Caleb’s blog and decided to post it here because it was so funny. It’s some guy’s argument that President Whitmore (Bill Pullman) from Independence Day was a Republican based on deleted scenes.
Yes, Whitmore is a Republican, but you?d only know it for sure from watching the director?s cut.
The director?s cut includes a long sequence where we see that Whitmore ignored months of warnings leading up to the aliens? attack. One particularly poignant scene shows Whitmore receiving a daily briefing entitled ?Aliens Determined to Attack US.? Seeing that the briefing is more than one page long, Whitmore decides it?s too long to be bothered with and he deposits it in the trash. Read more
I’m just about finished with my paper “Tryin? to Make a Dollar Out of Fifteen Cent: The Emergence of Hip Hop as an Industry.” I’ll post a link to it after I turn it in on Friday. Now all I have to do is a bunch of work in HST 418, a 10 page paper in HST 551, and two papers in THE 101.
All this with three weeks left. Oh well. I usually work well under pressure. I hope I still do this semester.
