Sturgeon’s Law

Ninety per­cent of every­thing is crap.


Derived from a quote by sci­ence fic­tion author Theodore Stur­geon, who once said, “Sure, 90% of sci­ence fic­tion is crud. That’s because 90% of every­thing is crud.” Oddly, when Sturgeon’s Law is cited, the final word is almost invari­ably changed to ‘crap’.

The Red Sox lose their game against the Yan­kees today and it is my fault. I watched the game on ESPN Fri­day night and they won. I watched the game on Fox Sat­ur­day after­noon and they won. Today the game was not on TV, I couldn’t watch, so they lost. Sorry.

The rain started about the time the alarm went off this morn­ing. The bike ride didn’t hap­pen. We could deal with that, curled back under the cov­ers and slept another hour. The rain paused for about 15 min­utes a half an hour ago, but it back at it steady. No pic­ture tak­ing today, for the web site or the contest.

The inclement weather cre­ated a per­fect oppor­tu­nity for a movie day. First up was Catch Me If You Can bor­rowed from a co-worker. After about 10 min­utes, Donna wanted out. I con­vinced her to stick it out. After 25 min­utes I wanted out, be she was now inter­ested. At 25 min­utes the phone rang and while she was talk­ing to her mother I popped out the disc. Sec­ond movie was my lat­est pur­chase, Don­nie Darko. I watched it all the way through (for the sec­ond time) while Donna watched half heat­edly. This evenings entry was The Last Boy Scout, a totally pre­dictable Bruce Willis movie, that is from Net­flix and has been sit­ting on my cof­fee table for around a month. At least Don­nie Darko was good.
