The best part

There is one thing that I'll miss about my house once we sell it. The frogs/toads that sit in my front lawn at 11:00 at night. They make me as giddy as a schoolgirl. Hee hee!!

In memorium

OK, I'm back. Today, we will honor our fallen comrades...

Hiatus

Well, until about 10 minutes ago, I WAS working on this most excellent post, but thanks to stupid auto-save, I lost the whole thing when I fat-fingered the delete button and wiped out the whole thing.

So, until I get over how much this fucking thing sucks, I'm not blogging.

See you next month.

Another mystery solved

As a fan of Weezer, I keep hearing about all these Modern Rock/Indie Rock radio stations that have been going under or changing formats over the last 2-3 years.

I just realized why. The people who would have normally tuned into those stations (like myself), own iPods or listen to satellite radio. Since I bought an FM transmitter for my iPod, I haven't listened to a terrestial radio station in my car for more than two years. I had a radio in my office last summer/fall, until the owner of said radio took it back into his possession.

Sometimes, I even amaze myself with my powers of deductive reasoning.

It just doesn't do it for me

Every time I see an advertisement for Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, featuring a blonde-haired, blue-eyed Jessica Alba, I find myself thinking "That's just not right." She should stick with her brunette locks and deep brown eyes.

Another bright idea!

This is what the Hamill sisters should have done with their lives...

I'd buy that. They could do it. They could totally do it.

It's just wrong!

$64.10 for tickets to the upcoming Nickelback/Staind concert in the Alerus Center in Grand Forks.

For that much, I should get THREE tickets to that concert.

I could go to three Twins games for that much. I could put 20 gallons of gasoline in my car for that much (which is wrong itself, but I digress). I could play World of Warcraft for 4 months for that much. I could hit about 900 golf balls at The Meadows driving range for that much.

BAH!!

Note to self

Do not install Energizer e² Lithium Batteries in a TI-82 calculator.

Nothing bad will happen. The display will just be too dark to do anything with it.

I can't believe it, either

This weekend, I met Dustin White. Yes, THE Dustin White. And it changed my life FOREVER.

X definitely is an unknown variable

So, after watching almost 2 straight hours of X-Play on G4, I'm still trying to figure this one out.

Are hosts Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb too cool to be spending their time reviewing video games, or are they just nerdy geeks and no one has told them yet?
