Livin it One Day at A Time

First off, I pity you.

What is the difference between Seasons 1,2,3,4,5 ?

Oh, I forget, Different side characters die. If I was a side character on that show, I’d be humming the tune to the Polices “Don’t stand to close to me” Whenever Bauer showed up.

So.. For those of you who are still 24 fans, and who are old enough to remember the Goonies..

If I can hobble over to store and get some cards and gifts, I’ll be sending them out to you. If I am lame, and don’t get to it soon. Just know it’s the thought that counts

So. The house… Did the final walk through. It has grass, it has a tree.

I have pictures, but it’s midnight, and I don’t want to do the work to get them put on the server

Oh, and the server will be offline for however long it takes me to ge hooked up in the new home.

So far I’ve saved $800 in just asking people to give me a better deal. Even did that with a moving truck (27 bucks baby!)

Oh, and I can’t sleep. Very Anxious.

Because, Well….

I saw this in the news today

I have always wondered how Muppet Labs was able to buy all those fancy gadgets….

I have fallen off the wagon. It used to be that I was in line to see every movie.. Now I hardly see any.. And I’ve resisted this summer’s hype.

I really have.

But this..

This…

Take a look at the first Six minutes of Batman: The Dark Knight

And tell me that ain’t beautiful.

Geek friends, we will be watching it on Thursday night, getting in line on Tuesday night. That’s how excited I am.

In other news, the house continues to be built. The painter painted the wrong color outside, blinds have been bought, appliances have been bought (some at 20% off) and I found some problems with the house, and pinball machines will be making their way from Utah.

Photos to come

And I’m not talking about the people who sang “Mr. Wendel”

According to this report there may be an Arrested Development movie in 2009! Joyus day!

If you haven’t watched Arrested Development, turn off your computer right NOW and go watch it.

In other news, the house is painted, has linoleum, has countertops, has carpet, and has something that bothers my allergies.

I may be sleeping in the basement again.

I know.

I’ve been a slacker..

That seems to be a common thread, doesn’t it..

Most of the time, I’m procrastinating writing on the blog, because, well, it’s hard.

But right now, I’m procrastinating writing a yearly eval..

So.. To catch up… in no particular order

So that should catch you up.. At least I hope.

So I can go back into cold storage again..

Or surprise you and write up a few more posts.

Any questions?

I loved Lost.

Then I was kind of meh about Lost.

Then I was convinced that Lost was Lost

Then I abandoned Heros for Lost.

And now, much like when the Crazy Baboon held up Simbas little cub, symbolizing that Disney can keep making the same junk over and over, and consumers will flock to the Disney stores and buy the same thing over and over, I think I am excited about the next Season of Lost.

Now.. I don’t remember what Season this is, because they play a round with the breaks so much (this is like season five or six, right?) .

I also am not going to rule out that the writers are just trying to make sure they can pay off their boats, or that a dog named Riley isn’t responsible for choosing the plot points, or that this isn’t really happening on the back of a turtle, because frankly, the writers haven’t yet proven to me that they aren’t going to pull the carpet out from under me.

At that point, I’m joining the Hyenas and killing off Simba’s son.

Or going back to watch an anemic Season of Heros (Is there like only one good writer that gets shared between these two shows?)

So where was I going with this?

Ah yes..

Trailer for Lost.

Hot off the presses
