He’s gettin’ his own Show

Closed between Monday, December 22, 2013, and Wednesday, January 1, 2014, Johnson County Community College will reopen tomorrow. Monday, in my neighborhood, is when trash is collected, so I set my alarm for six in the morning in an attempt to restore the damage to my circadian rhythms.

Denton had decided against Ra’s party, so he, Beasley, and I watched The Nude Bomb — no, it was neither Showgirls, nor Striptease, nor Eyes Wide Shut — just the adaptation of Get Smart to the big screen.
