I have no good caption for this
We were at dinner at El Jefes and Matt wanted his picture taken…go fig. This is one of the worst pictures of Matt ever but a great one of Dad so it get’s to stay. I’ve had an extremely long week and directly after this dinner I am going to go home and watch TV until I fall asleep in the throne, then I’m going to go to bed and not get up until I feel like it tomorrow. That sounds so good I may do it again on Sunday. Sleep…you are my friend.
Band geeks in the house
If you go back about a year you will find these two in nearly the same position with the same background for the same event. It’s the DCI Classic Countdown. Every year fans get to vote for their favorite 12 Drum Corps shows from the 70′s to today and they broadcast them in the theater through Big Screen Concerts. This year it’s just the men because Poodles wife is working, Justins wife is off doing color guard stuff and Manduh wasn’t visiting. I have to say, the Chicago Brewing Co. has some very good food but I’ve had their homebrew beer a few times now and it always kinda sucks. I’m just going to have to throw that out there. I was hoping maybe it was a bad batch last time but evidently not. So, great food, the pot roast was awesome, but skip the home brew beer and go for the home brew root beer.
Aliens are so hot
Why is it that aliens are always so hot in Sci-Fi shows? Actualy this isn’t a hard one to figure out seeing the demographic for these shows. Mostly I find it vaguely insulting to my intelligence but I’m kinda at the end of the regular season and don’t really have a choice if I want to watch TV. Not until I hit the bookstore that is.
Poker and crap ass conservative radio
I’m on the way to Tuesday poker and, for some reason known only to the NPR engineers, I’m getting nothing but dead air. I decided to switch to AM just for laughs and listened to the worst show ever. I’m not talking the ultra conservative facist views, that’s what talk radio is all about, I’m talking about pure radio production badness. Like he was just rambling on about his clothes and how he just doesn’t think about replacing them until wears them to shreds. Then he was talking about a restaurant, somehow relating this to bad UN policies, then the phone rang. Then he bitched about people calling his cell phone while he’s on the air and the next time someone does it he’s going to answer it, scream at that person, and never talk to them again for being so disrespectful. I’m no radio DJ but I would like to think that if I was, I would turn the damn phone to silent while I was on the air…just a thought.
Best cartoon ever
DireLlama told me about a Futurama that I had never seen before so I’m sitting here with Donald watching the one I haven’t seen and I’m showing him ones that he hasn’t seen. I still cry a little bit when I realize this show is no longer on. At least it got 5 seasons (well, 1/2 seasons) unlike Firefly which got 1. This is why TV sucks.
Vegas in the sunlight sucks
The DireLlama’s parents are in town this weekend and have invited us to dinner at the Bellagio. We parked on the roof as the alarm went off and I looked to the Paris and it just looks lame. At night it’s all lit up along with the rest of the strip and is quite nice in that Vegas neon way. This time of the day, however, it just looks weird. I had to pull out slacks and a nice shirt for dinner and realized that somehow I have lost my iron. I know I have one and it has to be in the apartment somewhere but hell if I can find it. I had to use a different nice shirt that didn’t require the iron.
Sweet Veronica Mars
I am criminally behind on my TV watching so I’m doing a little catching up before I go out tonight. A friend of mine is turning 21 tonight at midnight so we’re taking him out. I’m not sure what the plan is. I left the details to Justin but it should be fun regardless. I feel a little like I missed something by not going out and getting hammered on my 21st birthday but I hear plenty of 21st horror stories to know that it isn’t necessarily a good party. I didn’t break any bones, throw up, get beat up or fall asleep in any parking lots on my 21st so all in all I’m going to call it a win. As for tonight…only time will tell.
