Thursday
Work. It didn’t suck. No, really. It didn’t. And, I even figured out why the guy at the Post Office looks so familiar: He used to work at the station near the place where I used to live.

After work, I spent a pretty quiet evening around the homestead. CSI. Tech TV. FLCL. And… the thunder and lightning storm! It reminded me of the storms back home. *sigh*

Song of the Day

  • Suspicious Minds
  • A Little Less Conversation
  • Jailhouse Rock

by… that’s right… “The King,” Elvis Presley.

Stray Toasters

  • posted a link to this in her journal earlier this evening. After reading that, I went to the Parents Television Council website. I was flabbergasted. Stunned, I tell you! The PTC is up-in-arms about shows that kids shouldn’t be watching. Um… last time I checked, most kids had these people around them called “parents” and/or “guardians.” And, I seem to remember hearing something about these people being responsible for what the kids around them saw/heard/etc. And….and… the last time that I checked, every television that I have seen have this amazing feature called “the On/Off Switch” or “the Power Button.” *braincramp* I find the lyrics to Rush’ song Witch Hunt very apt in this case:

    They say there is strangeness too dangerous
    In our theaters and bookstore shelves.
    That those who know what’s best for us
    Must rise and save us from ourselves.

  • Hand signals. (Work safe and rather amusing)
  • The People’s Crotch Attack!
  • “Does IM Make U Dum?”
  • I just saw the Foot Locker commercial. It was set in a movie theatre. During a kung fu movie. I laughed.
  • posted a link to this earlier. Some peoples’ children… *bristle* They need someone to do the same thing to them. On a busy freeway. At high speed.
  • Vash the Stampede and Nicholas D. Wolfwood. Two of a kind. Nothing alike.
  • More about the MSN Messenger “mandatory upgrade.”
  • RIAA and MPAA against the world….

Idiotsticks of the Day
More “Adventures with Utah Drivers.” Today we saw two – yes TWO – different people driving in reverse… in the midst of traffic. ::: boggle :::

Quote of the Day
From tonight’s episode of Trigun: After arriving in May City, workmen are unloading passengers’ luggage from the bus. Three of the men lift Wolfwood’s cross from the top of the bus and toss it down to him:

Men: Damn! That thing is heavy!

Wolfwood catches it, easily…
Wolfwood: That, my friend, is because it is so full of mercy.

Namaste.
