Rants

In last night’s Monk he asks his “assistant” Sharona if she is a Democrat. To which she replies, “I’m not registered and I don’t vote, it just encourages them.

This time I paid attention and when it was over I wished it wasn’t. Not only that, but it seemed too short. Very fanciful view of politics – no way that a presidential campaign debate would shake out that way, but made for good TV. I now know the way they gracefully rid themselves of Rob Lowe after his, what they felt were, unreasonable salary demands. That too was setup nicely. Mr. Sorkin cast one of his “Sports Night” alums, Josh Molina, in a good role. As a bonus, The Wonder Years, Danica McKellar had a small role too.

Somehow my mother-in-law started receiving Rolling Stone Magazine. Hey, she’s 72 and seems to get quite a few things she doesn’t remember ordering. 🙂 Needless to say, she just passes it to me because she isn’t interested. Issue 909 has a one page bit on the 10 things that piss him off. 1 Radio is not even worth listening to “I don’t really give a flying fuck about any of it. I’ve tuned out…

Right on, brother Tom. Read the rest of the article here: Tom Petty Is Pissed

I don’t have the typical gripe about the 15 clocks I have to change. I’m sure some folks have more, some less, but all just as aggravating. I don’t like it for the same reason I don’t like fall as a season – it means winter is coming. Cold wood floors, dry, itching skin, top up on the convertable…

Stumbled onto Robocop last night and started watching it. When they went to a commercial I starting surfing again and realized what cable channel I had been on, AMC. Am I losing my mind or did American Movie Classics use to show movies with out commercial interruption? And now they have commercials! Well even if I wrong about the commercial thing, I still have a rant here, Robocop is not a Classic….

Friend gave me a CD to copy for him, “Barry White, All-Time Greatest Hits.” I find it hard to beleive that a CD from 1994 could be copy protected. Maybe it is just my CD burner or software, but I could not copy the disc, nor could I rip the tracks to MP3s. Thee is more than one way to skin a cat, so off to the ‘net I go. There it is the whole CD as one MP3 file, 69Meg, no problem for Mr. DSL. Once downloaded I went to use the wave editor to break it back into seperate songs and lo and behold there are 19 songs in the file. Funny the liner notes I have say should be 20. Not only that but track 19 ends 2/3 of the way through. Did someone just get tired of ripping? And of course there are now like 6 copies of this 95% complete complilation out there….

My pages still load slow as m o l a s s e s. My archives keep disappearing ( I can get them back, but it is a hassle.) Gotta get my own domain and use MT. I’ve said it before, but this time I think I mean it.
