Lucky

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

I'm either lucky or smart tonight... I've known the answer to every Jeopardy question heading into the first commercial. Of course, none of the contestants have missed any yet, so I guess they aren't very hard.

Commodore 64

Monday, October 29th, 2007

I remember my Commodore 64, hooked up to a little black and white TV. I used to play the Zork games, Chopper and the original Maniac Mansion. I used to try to use GeoWorks, but I couldn't ever get much to work on it. It was like Windows for Commodore. ...

Michelle Ryan

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

So I watch Bionic Woman, pretty much - maybe completely - because the lead actress is hot. Tonight was a bonus because she's speaking with a British accent, which makes her hotter. I thought she was doing a pretty good job at it, too. And now I'm an idiot, because it ...

Transformers DVD

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007

Transformers is out on DVD, and I have yet to buy my copy. Looks like Wal-Mart has the best version, which is a DVD set with a prequel to the Transformers movie. I'm not sure what it's really like, since I'm sure it's not live-action or anything like the movie, ...

Why?

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007

Why do microwave dinners or whatever that tell you "do not cover" always explode in the microwave, even before the minimum time that they are supposed to be in the microwave? It happens to me on a regular basis. On a side-note, my canollies were not very good.

So that’s a “no” on the storms

Friday, October 19th, 2007

Not that I'm unhappy they didn't hit last night, but that seemed like a lot of hoopla for some storms that didn't materialize into anything. And the Wings didn't suck too bad last night, either. Guess I was wrong about everything!

Storms

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

Isn't October 18th a little late in the year for nasty storms? At least, ones that don't involve snow? I felt like crap today and I think it's directly related to the rain going through last night. My head seems to get all wacky when we have a big low pressure ...

Today’s Fortune

Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

Today's Fortune: Your principles mean more to you than money or success. OK... first of all - still not a fortune! Seriously, when did fortune cookies become random-saying cookies? I eat fortune cookies first because I like the way they taste but second, because I like to see what wacky fortune I ...

Writer’s Block

Monday, October 15th, 2007

I really wanted to try to write something for all of your amusement tonight, but I just can't come up with anything interesting. Not that what I write about is usually interesting, but at least it's something. I finally got around to finishing the Halo 3 Campaign on Saturday afternoon. It ...

Could You Pass 8th Grade Science?

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

Oh, I could - and I got 100%. Makes sense, though - when I took the ACT in 8th grade, I only missed one question in the science portion. In high school, I didn't miss any. I think a perfect score was 36, so we'll just say I had some issues ...
