Kurt’s Blog: Oh, Now I Get It…Plus, 10 Songs I’m Listening To

Oh Now I Get It…

I never quite got the “lure” of Jennifer Lawrence (Hunger Games, Silver Linings Playbook, etc). That is, until I saw her on Saturday Night Live this weekend…she was legitmately funny, and seemed down-to-Earth. I get it now.

For those of you wanting the past 30 seconds back, I’m sorry. I can not give that to you.

I Know We’ve Been Spoiled, But I Don’t Care

I know we’ve been spoiled this winter…only one big snowstorm, and yes, it was 50ish on Friday & Saturday…but I don’t care, the cold this morning was harsh…and needs to stop. Where did that snow come from yesterday? Maybe I wasn’t paying attention to the weather or something, but that was just uncalled for.

The Team from the place that has delicious crabcakes v. The team who’s coach irritates me to no end

I have to be careful in what I write, I don’t need the NFL cracking down on me (seriously, they have a ton of copyright rules when it comes to what happens in 2 weeks).

Can’t believe that either of these teams made it….but both have been mighty impressive. I despise Jim Harbaugh though…and I’m already so tired of the brother v. brother matchup talk.
