Tuesday
Day 7 of Gym Wars: Return of the Workout

It’s a little bit funny, this feeling inside….
No, that was Elton John. That’s not what I was after. Let’s try that again.

It’s funny how you can just strike up conversations with perfect strangers (And what is it about a “stranger” that makes them “perfect?”) at the gym… or how they can/will start one with you. Today, it happened twice. I’m not saying that this phenomenon (do DO do-do-do) is a “bad” thing. Far from it, in fact. I think that it is a very good thing.

Song of the Day:
Today, being Tuesday, we’re going to give you two (two, TWO) songs of the day. At no extra cost to you! Both of today’s songs come from Pink Floyd: Learning to Fly (not to be confused with the Tom Petty song of the same name) and Money.

What in the Nine Hells…!?!?
I was going through my email and came across the “New Movie Tuesday” email from Best Buy. So far so good. I opened it… and saw the second sign of the Apocalypse in the “DVD pre-order” section:

American Idol: The Search for a Superstar $14.99
available 10/15/02
Contains an exclusive bonus DVD with footage not shown on TV!

As someone who didn’t follow the show… no, that’s not emphatic enough. As someone who didn’t give a rat’s ass about the show when it aired: WHY would I want to add this to my DVD collection? From what I gathered from friends who watched it, it was pretty much “Star Search,” except that the judges didn’t just rate your performance; they were apt to be rude to you if they didn’t like it. Whoop-de-damn-doo. Yeah, this deserves DVD treatment. Circling the drain, I tell you…

Anyway, time to get ready for work.

Peace.
