Game of Thrones. I'm totally disinterested. It strikes me, frankly, as just flat out silly and a little dim.
Why watch a pseudo Medieval England when you can read about the real one?
Alfred the Great's father AEthelwulf. Why did his young son take office over his elders? Why did Alfred go to Rome as a boy? Why did Alfred's parents name him "Advised by Elves". Why do people watch a goofball television show with an actress who is hopelessly clean in a Medieval setting and looks like an albino?
I also can't muster up any real interest over UW's most recent president Laurie Richards being demoted back to professor.
I really ought to. And I did care when Sternberg was demoted. It seems to me that Richards did a good job, but I really can't muster up a snit about it.
Old geology lecture hall at the University of Wyoming. I've noted before that I have an ambivalent relationship with my two time alma mater that I don't have with my first one, a community college. Indeed, post public schooling warm feelings, I have stronger ones for that college and the Field Artillery training school at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma, for some reason. I really have no idea why. Perhaps that's why I recall can't muster up a snit about the current UW president situation.
And I'm also disinterested in the scandal in which Felicity Huffman and Lori Loghlin are accused of paying bribes to get their children into competitive private universities. I'm generally disinterested in actors and actresses anyhow, and frankly I have always simply assumed that baksheesh is an element of getting into the big dollar schools. Wasn't this always obvious? It seems to me to be pretty clear, but perhaps I was naive in thinking this was a scandal as society at large is. . . well apparently naive.
Mabel Normand, actress. She died at age 37 in 1930. I just like the photo.
