Dumb things I didn't need today: The 9/11 inspired rock musical
It's been something of an awful couple of days recently.
August is wrapping up, New York City is hot, boring, and overrun with bedbugs, so I flip on the internet and what do I get? Category four hurricanes, Glenn Beck rallies, and a video of a horrible girl throwing puppies in a river.
It's gotten to the point where even a series of photos of a smiling cat with fresh produce on its head couldn't cheer me up. So you know what maybe I didn't need today?
Oh, I don't know, how about the news that next Friday, there's a rock musical movie opening in New York City based on, and inspired by the 9/11 attacks?
Yep, it's called Clear Blue Tuesday, and here's the trailer, in case that whole "puppies in the river" thing wasn't enough of a downer for you.
You go ahead and watch it, or read the New York Times blog post about it; I'll be over here, wondering if the vomit I just threw up in my mouth would taste a little better if it was seasoned with the saltiness of the tears I'm currently shedding for humanity.
Thanks a bunch, everyone involved in this, and by thanks a bunch, I mean THE OPPOSITE OF THANKS A BUNCH AND ACTUALLY I WISH THIS WAS NEVER MADE AND/OR I NEVER KNEW ABOUT IT.
