Before I broke.
Yesterday I loaded up my now unused thumbdrive (thanks DropBox) with Winamp Portable and about a Gig of tunes, so now I’m back listening to music at work.
Added a link in the Miata section called Miata Mondays. It is from a site called Cold Track Days and features a photo every Monday of a tricked out Miata.
Watching LOST last week, every time they showed Jack standing there in his dark blue t-shirt I couldn’t help but notice the resemblance to the protagonist in that video game Another World that I so loved, but couldn’t get to work back in December.
There are only 3 episodes and the two hour finale left of TDTVS and then it will be all over on Sunday, May 23 (why Sunday?) But that’s OK maybe they will make Saturday morning cartoon of the show.
You know how I spent a couple hours the other day ridding my work PC of ClearType after the Office 2007 install? Well guess what is running on the home laptop and hasn’t bothered me one bit?
House viewers must buy a lot of trucks or someone thinks they do because the big three have all run truck ads during tonight’s show.
Why are the ferns the first to poke out of the ground after they do a prescribed burn in the woods.
This picture is from last weekend’s walk in Hitchcock Woods.
I missed celebrating 420 today. Bummer man, might have helped watching tonight’s episode of TDTVS.
Last night we cleaned house, the outside anyway. I blew off the roof and deck, Donna mowed the front and back yards and I used the blower to clean our driveway.
When we got home tonight you could barely tell I had cleaned the driveway, enough oak pollen clusters had fallen to leave a sparse coating the whole front yard. Oh, well, I was still going to wash the car, had to because the MMC has a breakfast event tomorrow and we couldn’t very well show up in the pigsty the Emperor was. Plus I have that awning-carport thing that will at least keep the stuff off the car *while* I’m washing it.
While channel surfing this evening I flipped through 3 straight stations that were playing Iron Man 2 commercials. One of which was actually a car ad (admittedly, I think if Iron Man were a Transformer he probably would change into an Audi R8 V10 convertible.)
As much as I loved the first movie and the trailers look good for number 2, they do look a little over the top in places. I am starting to get the feeling this franchise might be going the way of TDPM.
Back in August a bolt of lightning fried our tube TV so we bought a one of those new fangled flat screens. I let it find all the channels and was happy as a clam. Then 3 weeks later I had to reset the TV and when I ran the channel find function this time I let it look for digital channels. It found some, the Music Choice channels that came with the digital package, nothing with a picture though.
I was home sick with some flu stuff today and thought I would tune into Soundscapes, the New Age Music Choice channel to help in starting a nap while on the couch. It wasn’t there. I remember wondering if the cable company knew that folks with digital TV were getting that music for free. Maybe they did and decided to cut it off.
For the heck of it I ran the channel setup again. It found the music channels. They were occupying the recently, with no notice, vacated ESPN Classic channel spot at 34. Not only that it turned up the HD broadcasts of the 6 local TV broadcasters. Now I won’t have to unplug the cable and plug up the $20 rabbit ears I bought so I can watch TDTVS in full widescreen HD glory. Then plug the cable back in after the show is over.
