Rhymes make me giggle…

October 6th, 2008

Rhymes are funny. Now, I don’t think ALL rhymes are funny - just the ones that come out of nowhere in everyday conversation. Every now and then they just happen when you don’t necessarily mean it and I’ve noticed people generally have the same reaction that goes something like, “HA! That rhymed!”

Fall Premieres…Finally!

September 5th, 2008

The fall network television premieres are finally here. I, for one, am definitely not sad that the writer strike is over. I’m very ready for a good run of uninterrupted full length seasons. I decided to post a listing of the shows I keep up with. My list includes the day, show name, premiere date, time and network.

Some of these shows have already premiered, most notably Weeds, which is already eleven episodes into its fourth season. So far I have one show in this list that is brand new to the idiot box this season: My Own Worst Enemy. Looks interesting. If anyone has any suggestions for new shows that are premiering this season, let me know so I can check them out.

Note: Lost and 24 are not in this list due to their very late premieres.

Anyway, here’s the list broken down by day of the week. If I missed anything or screwed anything up, let me know.

Death of the Blackberry

August 29th, 2008

So my Blackberry Curve took a shit and now no longer works. No, I’m not going to start a group on facebook to get all my numbers back. I have most of them memorized.

The Curve started giving me problems a few weeks ago and is now finally down for the count. It started by just shutting itself off whenever it felt like it, but now it won’t even turn on. Tried a new battery. Wiped the phone and reloaded all the software. All to no avail. I’m pretty sure it’s a hardware issue, which sucks because I don’t have phone insurance (does anybody have phone insurance?). So I would love to go out and buy a new phone but I’m waiting for the new Blackberry Bold.

In the meantime, I have acquired quite possibly one of the most sought after phones of all time. No…not an iPhone.

I took the survey! If you are a web designer and haven’t already checked it out, give it a look-see.

Working hard or hardly working?

This joke is old. Everyone has heard it. It is not original. It will not make you sound clever unless you are talking to a six-year-old.

It needs to stop.

Left turns sound crazy on paper…

April 23rd, 2008

Have you ever turned left at an intersection? If so, you probably noticed that most of the time, opposing traffic turns left at the same time (their left not your left). This sort of traffic behavior is normal and therefore you feel secure in the fact that the 18 wheeler heading straight for you will turn and not hit you. My question is this: Who came up with this concept?

I know this is an old story (09/21/05), but it came up in conversation at dinner last night, so I thought I would post something.

Southwest Airlines = Good

April 3rd, 2008

I don’t do this often, but I’m raising my glass to Southwest Airlines. They offer cheap flights, good customer service and in my case last weekend, a free beer.
