talkstowolvesVirtuously, I rolled out of bed at quarter to noon yesterday morning and set about making guacamole.
...what? Sunday's my day off, okay. Besides, I was reading Keturah and Lord Death, and I was very much invested in reaching through the pages, shaking Keturah's shoulders, and making her realize she was in love with a certain anthropomorphic personification.
Right, so, I made guacamole. It was delicious. My plans for the day featured watching the Superbowl commercials and ignoring the game-- you know, standard operating procedure. However! In an absolutely shocking reversal, the Superbowl game actually turned out to be more interesting than the commercials. I mean, the commercials this year overall were hardly interesting, and certainly infantile, and often racist. (Really, Volkswagen? I can't even.)
Still, I got some amusement out of it:
1. Star Trek Into Darkness.
Since 2009's Star Trek, I've been primed for this one. I don't need some big mystery to keep me hooked, and I've been irritated by Abrams refusal to reveal the villain. It wasn't a big deal at first, but now it's all anyone's talking about: who is Benedict Cumberbatch? This trailer left me all "THANK YOU! FOR FUCK'S SAKE, JJ. WAS THAT SO HARD?!" with a sense of relief. It seems pretty clear to me now that Star Trek Into Darkness is all about Khan.
