PBS is Ticking
Let's see, what to talk about today. I think I am losing my creativity. It must be an age thing. I thought about signing up for the "Guitarmaggedon" competition that is coming next month, but it seems like I can't think of anything new. "I just don't know if I could face that kind of rejection." For 10 points what movie is that quote from? I got a new DVD burner/VCR combo last night. I went to set the clock and all it asked for was to be on PBS. Apparently there is a signal going through PBS that contains the current time. I didn't even have to put anything in. The VCR just read the signal and set my clock for me. That is pretty cool. It makes you wonder what other kinds of signals are coming through the air that we don't know. I am still amazed at how satellite radio works in a moving car. The signal must be projected across the whole US. Combine that with cell frequencies, radio frequencies, GPS and RFID and it is a wonder that they don't all interfere with one another. If the government wanted to it could probably track where you are and be able to send sound directly to your brain to get you to do things. Kind of like hypnosis. The peach frog jumps at midnight. Ok, I guess I still got it.
Thought of the Day
"You know how the big toe is the captain of the toes, but sometimes the toe next to the big toe gets so big that there's a power struggle and the second toe assumes control of the foot."
"The coup de toe!"
- George and Jerry, in "The Tape"

Well I am going on the assumption you misquoted the movie and assume the quote you meant to be as "I just don't think I can take that kind of rejection.". If my assumption is correct than the ten points are mine. The movie was Back to the Future!
How was everyone's weekend? Mine sucked. After leaving early on Thursday I went home and slept. Then woke up on Friday and puked and other fun things not needing to be mentioned. I called in sick on Friday to work. I slept about 20 hours on Friday, 16 on Saturday, and at least 12 hrs yesterday. I am feeling better but still not 100% by any means. I ate 2 bowls of soup and 3 pieces of toast all weekend long total. So my weekend sucked especially when the wife started getting sick on Saturday. I weighed myself this morning and I lost 10 pounds due to being sick.. See Brian, you could have given me a 1/10 of the hypnosis fee and I could have just gotten you sick and you would have lost more weight in a weekend then in the 3 weeks you've been going...
I hope everyone else had a great weekend, though...

Hey guys. Just a little heads up. Brian's post from today is actually Friday's post..it's just now coming through, so another blog may post today.
My weekend was so so. it rained all of friday night, so that put me in a little funk. The wife was working on school stuff, so I watched several episodes of Family Guy from season 3, and had a few drinks. Later, I got on the computer and played a little. Saturday, it rained some more. The wife and I cleaned up the inside of our house pretty well, and did all the laundry. I got my house bill in the mail and my payment is going up...THAT SUCKS....something about an escrow shortage. Saturday night was basically a repeat of Friday. Sunday was actually sunny at our house. We didn't do anything very interesting.
