Apparently the hot story from the past few days has something to do with actor Charlie Sheen, a porn actress called Capri Anderson, and a trashed hotel room. I can't be bothered to make sense out of the social gossip reporting, so if you really care Google's over that way.
Normally I care about as much about sports as I do about celebrity gossip (which is why I am mainly happy that the World Series is over, and so I won't be hearing much about it even if it is still trending up at the moment). However, I must admit that I am slightly amused by the situation surrounding Randy Moss' low opinion of Tinucci's Restaurant, which apparently provides catering services to the team Moss used to play for before recently being traded. In response to his verbal tirade about the quality of their food, the restaurant is offering a free lunch to the first 50 people who show up and agree to trade in their Randy Moss fanwear. Still, I'd be far more interested in Maurice Moss than in Randy Moss any day.
Please note that daylight stupidity time (sorry, daylight savings time) ends this weekend. Of course, having grown up in Indiana daylight savings time seems strange to me. Plus, with the recent changes we're now on daylight saving time from early March until early October, or about two thirds of the year. Frankly I don't see why we don't just leap forward next March and not bother leaping back ever again. It's not like solar noon is anywhere near clock noon in most of the country anyway. But then again, if we did this, how would we remember to check the batteries in our smoke detectors?
Jon Stewart continues to trend high, probably because of the combination of his recent interview with Barack Obama and the Rally to Restore Freedom (and/or Fear) that Comedy Central recently held in Washington. Stewart has, perhaps improbably, emerged as one of the most prominent voices of this generation. I haven't watched any of this week's shows yet—they're on the TiVo—so it's also quite likely that he's had some interesting, or at least amusing, comments on the election results as well.
Limewire continues to trend up even as it disintegrates under the force of the court's adverse ruling in its battle against the RIAA. Hard to imagine what is left for them. This was pretty much inevitable; what surprises me is how long it took and how long Limewire held out.
Searches for "Black Friday", the traditional name for the Friday-after-Thanksgiving shopaganza, are starting to trend up, presumably as people start to plan for their annual shopping fix. There's even an "official" Black Friday 2010 website. Just the other day I heard a radio commentator (WBBM in Chicago) suggest that Black Friday is starting early this year, with pre-Christmas sales starting even before Halloween.
The tenth rising search at the moment is for "Black Ops", which seems strange at first until one realizes it's for the next installment of the Call of Duty franchise, due out in about a week. I don't personally care for first-person (or third-person) shooters, so I won't comment further.
