Things I thought about while typing

Why?

Two reasons: number one, I'm very sleepy; number two, all of my thoughts tend to be -- well -- random. And thirdly, I'm very sleepy. Matter of fact, this could just be a vivid, old-pizza-induced dream that I'm having ... which would explain a lot.

OK, here goes.

I keep seeing jokes about the "Snuggie" on late night TV. My column that was fully devoted to the "Snuggie" came out over a month ago, featuring many similar comments. Coincidence? Well, yeah. I knew I wasn't the only one who thought that "the woman who can't work a blanket" was perhaps the silliest image they'd witnessed in any commercial this past year.

Disney finally announced that they bought an equity interest in Hulu, the streaming video service that once was NBC and Fox's alone. This means that ABC shows like "Lost" will finally be available online!

(Well, other than at ABC.com ... or YouTube ... or iTunes ... or on Verizon Wireless's VCast service.) My only question is, does this mean less of those terrible "Hulu's run by evil aliens" commercials, or more? (Follow-up question: does this mean the horrible Hulu aliens are also welcome to get into a Disney theme park for free on their birthdays?)

After seeing the trailer for the new Matthew McConaughey movie "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past," I came to the stunning, startling realization that I had no need to see the movie itself -- for I already had! Allow me to detail how I came to this conclusion:

1) It stars Matthew McConaughey. Sorry to say it, but there's strikes one and two already.

2) He plays an insensitive, sex-crazed cad. Granted, I didn't expect him to be playing a genteel Nobel laureate, especially in a movie with a title that sounds like it was created by a focus group that just wanted to go home, but jeepers, dude, every once and a while, just flip through the script about the genteel Nobel ... aw, who am I kidding; he's never gonna read this advice, much less a script about anyone but a sex-crazed cad.

3) He learns a valuable lesson about love after having a series of completely absurd events happen to him. The trailer doesn't have a lick of suspense to it about this; it doesn't even pretend that he won't go through these motions. Even the 30 second TV spots completely spoil the plot -- and yes, even the ending.

4) He gets the girl (in this case, Jennifer Garner, who -- in all the clips I've seen -- is unfailingly professional, to the point of looking a little bit pained), which leads to his becoming a better man/winning the Kentucky Derby/getting his upholstery cleaned professionally from now on/blah, blah, blah.

5) Did I mention that it stars Matthew McConaughey?

A philosophical query: if Ashton Kutcher fell in a forest without a Blackberry, would anyone Twitter it?
