And now for the weekend update. On Friday I stayed home and watched some
movies and tried to work. I saw "I Heart Huckabees" and was confused and
then I saw "Friday Night Lights" and thought it was good, except for the
3 second camera angle switching that took place in the first half of the
movie. It got to be where I would count "1..2..3..switch" and the camera
would switch. IMO, it just made me dizzy. The movie plot was good, as it
was about football in Texas. Although the ending was a little
disappointing. On Saturday I jammed with Wayne and showed him how to
play some rockabilly. Saturday night I went with Holly and some friends
bowling and later on we saw a good Irish rock band called the Kildares
at the Flying Saucer. Sunday I went to church and then to the Holly
family reunion in Azle, north of Ft. Worth. It was good to meet some of
Holly's extended family. There was about 70 people there. I was the guy
who was playing guitar that no one knew. Then we skedaddled and fed the
homeless and ended up the evening at a birthday party of a friend. I was
thoroughly exhausted at the end and watched the Cowboys win since I had
recorded it and also had deluded myself. Speaking of football, I am so
glad the new season has started but with the advent of PVR and TIVO I
propose a new man law be added to the books. No one is to publicly talk
about the football games for two whole days after the game is aired. I
basically knew the ending of the Cowboys game before I even watched it.
Even the homeless people would mention the score in passing. I would
cover my ears and go "I am not listening..lalala"

Thought of the Day
"Can I have a medium diet coke?"
"Do you want the medium size or the middle size?"
"What's the difference?"
"Well, we have three sizes - medium, large and jumbo."
"What happened to the small?"
"There is no small. Small's medium."
"What's medium?"
"Medium's large and large is jumbo."
"Okay, give me the large."
"That's medium."
"Right. Can I have a small popcorn?"
"There is no small. Child-size is small."
"What's medium?"
"Adult."
"Do adults ever order the child-size?"
"Not usually."
"Okay, give me the adult."
"Do you want butter?"
"Is it real butter?"
"It's butter flavoring."
"What is it made of?"
"It's yellow."
