Workday One: Complete.
Workdays Two through Four: Pending.

  • Pretty quiet at work today – no major braincramps or clusterfucks. This comes under the heading of a “good thing.” After all, the day had one strike against it, on general principle, given the fact that it was a Monday – manic or otherwise.
  • Went to the gym after work.
  • Came home, sat in front of my two favorite CRTs: the monitor and the TV.
  • Went out for coffee with a couple of IRCers.
  • Came home… and here I am.

All in all, not a bad day. Or as Mr. Lennon put it, “Nothing to get hung about…”

Tuesday’s entertainment quandary:

  • Three (3) shows to tape: 24, Smallville, and NYPD Blue.
  • Two (2) VRCs.
  • Here’s the rub: They all start at the same time!!! I don’t know WHO thought that it would be funny to put these shows on the same day, at the same time, but for whomever it was/they were, a stern talking to and other harsh things should loom ominously in their futures.

Solution to said quandary: Ask a friend to tape one and record the others myself. Yes, friends and neighbors, “Necessity truly is the mother of invention.” Or in this case,”…is the mother of creative entertainment management.”

Quotes of the Day:

  • Once again, Dee provided a gleaming nugget of joy with: “There’s nothing wrong with the World Wrestling Federation, if that’s your thing. However, for those of us with all our teeth…” *shrug*
  • And from the movie Snatch: “You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.” – Bullet Tooth Tony

I found this article on USA Today‘s “Offbeat News” column. Just a little more insight into life here behind the Zion Curtain:

    Beer Label Raises Eyebrows
    The Wasatch Beers company has dipped into Mormon culture to promote some of its products in Utah. In a state where 70% of the population does not drink alcohol the company decided that it needed a gimmick, but its latest efforts have met with condemnation. The furor surrounds the promotion of a new beer called Polygamy Porter. “Our agenda is to have fun and increase sales of our beer,” Wasatch founder Greg Schirf told BBC World Business Report. Previous Wasatch ad campaigns have included slogans such as “Utah’s other religion – Wasatch Beers” and “Baptise your taste buds.”

And on that note, I’m off to conduct an inner-eyelid study.

Peace.
