TV Is Winning

I haven’t been posting or a couple reasons, but the main one is I can’t seem to find the time. I’m watching too much TV. On Monday their is House from 8-9. then at ten there is the original Law & Order and Castle which get watched via torrent on Tuesday. Tuesday evening we watch the L&O and Castle before watching TDTVS at 9. Tuesday at 10 is The Good Wife and L&O:CI on USA which get delayed until Wednesday. Wednesday at 10 is In Plain Sight which get watched on Thursday before Flashforward (which sometimes gets delayed until Friday.) And as always there is a Netflix disc with a movie and another disc with a TV show (currently Life) that need watching too.

It has gotten so bad that I haven’t even been listening to the FRS on the internet (which as it turns out is a good thing because they seem to be winning when I’m not listening.)*

I’ve got plenty of stuff to post about, but by the time I get around to it a lot of the details will have leaked out my ears and won’t be available to make the story more than a tweet length. The only reason you are getting this on today is I’m bored at work with a very repetitive job and needed a break before I nodded off in my chair.

*As if to prove my point, the FRS had an afternoon game today and I listened to it at work. They lost 3-2 to Toronto.

Miscellaneous Monday

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.

Started down, still down.

I Missed It

I missed celebrating 420 today. Bummer man, might have helped watching tonight’s episode of TDTVS.

HD On Cable

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.

No TV Monday

House was a repeat and Castle was preempted by some nonsense reality show. Thought for sure now that the Olympics were done we would get new shows. At least TDTVS won’t let me down tomorrow.

This Ip Odd thing is turning into a money pit. We needed a set of headphones so Donna could listen, she hates ear buds – $50. We then wanted a dock with speakers for the bedroom – $80. If I want to use in the Miata, I could remove the 6 disc changer in the trunk thereby reclaiming precious space, an adapter is needed – $150.

Started down, went up, went down, up again, still up.

Weekly Woodsman?

Yesterday’s post concerned book references in the season premier of TDTVS. When rewatching the episode again, I noticed that Rose, sitting across from Jack on Oceanic 815 that did land in LA, was reading a magazine, Weekly Woodsman. What the heck does that mean?

The Red Cross did get the $10 from my GoPhone account. It just took 3 days to do it and 3 more for me to notice. Tomorrow we’ll donate another ten spot.
