Happy Valentimes to everyone once again. As I was looking over some old February posts, I realized the Duffman is always my Valentine, but I never post pictures of him, so there you go. He looks pretty serious in this picture, but he's really a nice guy. This year was another ordinary year for Valentine's Day. Worked all day, then came home and ate some pizza with Duff. We also watched the super-computer Watson play Jeopardy and do really well. That scares me a little though, cause it seems like a pretty straight path from there to the world of Terminator. At least if that happens, I'll know my purpose in life...but I'll probably have to compete with a lot of other guys named John Connor for the leadership position.
In other news, despite my protest to some of the Grammy nominations, I did end up watching the entire Grammy broadcast last night, and it had some worthwhile moments:
Good: Muse rocked out with a pretty straightforward performance.
Bad: The protesting actors running around stage probably sounded like an interesting idea in theory, but they were more distracting and silly than entertaining.
Good: Mumford & Sons had my foot stomping and were complemented nicely by the Avett Brothers.
Bad: Bob Dylan was cool in his time, but he really needs to stop singing.
Good: Arcade Fire winning best album and ending strong on Ready to Start.
Bad: Arcade Fire making their Grammy debut with Month of May, one of their worst songs ever in my opinion. It sounds like it could be a high school band's first attempt at songwriting. (By the way, check out this tumblr in response to Arcade Fire's win)
Good: Cee-Lo with G-Pal.
Bad: The 20-minute unecessary show-opening tribute to Aretha Franklin, followed by Lady Gaga's boney-shouldered performance of her new song Born This Way...I assume it's about being ugly.
Worst of All: Justin Bieber, Jaden Smith, and Usher all on the same stage. The Grammy's should be ashamed of themselves.
