I'm posting a good review. Because I have low self esteem.

Hey readers,

The title pretty much sums up the tone of this particular blog pretty well, but let me spell it out in a bit more detail. 

Longtime blog reader, proud Canadian, and overall good person Monica posted a super duper positive review of Sophomore Undercover on her blog the other day.  The link to the review is here.  Please give it a looksie. 

Now, I'm sure some of you are wondering why I never link to any of my reviews that aren't super duper positive, and I have an easy answer for that. 

The negative reviews hurt my feelings. 

And as long as we're on the subject of bad reviews and hurt feelings, let me throw a little preview of an upcoming blog topic at you guys.   

I don't care who you are or what you say, Carrot Top is goddamn hilarious.

I'm not sure I'd go so far as to call Carrot Top hilarious, but I don't think "genius" is a reach at all.

I take genius seriously. So, no.

I suppose one could call him a comedic genius, but that implies that he's a "genius of comedy" and since I don't find him particularly funny, that doesn't work either. He's very clever and when I watch his act that's why I think. I don't think: Hey, this guy's hilarious. I don't fall off my chair laughing. Instead, I think: Oh, that's clever. That's original. This guy's obviously no dummy. It's too bad he chose stand-up comedy as the outlet of his genius when he could be, I don't know, creating crossword puzzles.

Or something.
