So much happening in Cleveland these days. The Euclid bus line finally opened up, which means you’ll be seeing some of those jointed buses on the street. I don’t really know if there has been such a demand for public transportation that those buses were necessary, but hey, with this recession and gas prices what they are, maybe it makes sense. Anyways, lots going on in Cleveland, so lets get to it!

I witnessed a stampede

So I’m at work the other day, minding my own business, reading video game websites instead of doing anything productive, when all of a sudden these elephants just charge down east ninth street. Lucky for us, no one was injured, but if you want to see more of these beasts, it just so happens that the circus is in town on the Q, if that’s your sort of thing. You know, everyone is all “Oh elephants walking down the street, how great.” But if one of those animals got loose and killed a baby, we’d all be singing a different tune.

Polar bear found dead at zoo

The Cleveland zoo’s oldest polar bear was found DEAD on Friday morning. Officials say there is no evidence of foul play but the bear was also in good health. Something doesn’t add up if you ask me, but that’s not the real highlight of this article. What really stands out are the quotes they got for this little journalistic gem.
Like this one: “Whenever an animal dies, I think it’s sad,” said visitor Ceca Sarkissian of Cleveland, who visits the zoo several times a year with her two children.
When reading this story, be sure to pay extra close attention to the somewhat disturbing 2nd last paragraph.

What’s going to happen to your points?

You most likely have heard that National City got bought by PNC Bank, but what I’m wondering is… where are all those points going to go? You know, all those points people have been saving to buy stuff on Amazon.com or whatever. It reminds me of this one X-Men comic, where, after M-Day, where millions of mutants lost their powers, all that mutant energy went off into outer space. The energy didn’t just disappear, it just wasn’t in the mutants anymore. So it went off into space and hit an asteroid where Vulcan was fossilized or whatever. Well he came back to life when all this energy hit him and came back to earth and took out some major revenge on Professor X, who had really screwed him over in the past. He was super powerful and he was about to destroy all the X-Men when Professor X let him know about his past, and how this one alien had killed Vulcan’s dad (Vulcan also happens to be Cyclops’s brother). So when Vulcan finds out this alien dude killed his dad, he gets all pissed and flies off into space to do some real damage.
I hope something like that happens with the National City points.

Midnight at the Savoy at the Hi-Fi tonight

If you’re into music like the Mars Volta, and that sort of new-prog-rock kind of thing, I’d suggest going to the Hi-Fi tonight to check out Midnight at the Savoy. Really good band. I’m going to be there filming, so if you come, come say hi, and I’ll buy you a drink. But then you have to buy the second round so we’re even.
