Are you excited for the Mayweather-Ortiz fight tomorrow? Me neither. It’s not that I don’t care about boxing (well, I don’t, really), it’s just that where I live the fight has been advertised the hell out of, especially on the radio. The commercials are horrible, and let’s face it, boxers, whether they have an accent or not, don’t make the best sound bites. If you were busy finally getting your name changed to Metta World Peace this week, odds are you missed it.
‘Star Wars, nothing but Star Wars’
Everyone has at least one Star Wars nerd in their life, and they know the daily struggle not to punch that person. But they also know that said nerd gets mad at George Lucas every few years. Well, time has come once again. The Star Wars sextilogy (heh) hit Blu-Ray this week, and it comes with new “enhancements” to the original three movies. The biggest controversy comes from changes made to the end of The Empire Strikes Back, when a one-handed Luke Skywalker is fitted with a hook hand and eye patch.
I’m not drunk, I’m just stumbling
A recent study found that while alcohol is known to give you balance problems in the short term, you might be a bit wobbly for years to come. A study of recently- and longtime-sober alcoholics (or as we call them, people you don’t hang out with anymore) found that the more recently you drank, the greater the likelihood that you will have balance problems. Of course, that’s only alcoholics, you can stop drinking whenever you want.
Marriage crashed
Remember the White House party crashers, Tareq and Michaele Salahi? They’re back in the news again. Tareq reported his wife missing early this week when she didn’t come home after running some errands. He called the police to report a kidnapping, but they didn’t take him seriously. As it turns out, Michaela ran off with Journey guitarist Neil Schon, and had even told the police ahead of time that she was fine. Talk about a Journey Escape.
