The Fix was in???????

2007-10-15T18:43:57Z

So Drew Carey takes over today on the Price is Right (or is it Wrong now?)
He seemed a bit nervous. It seemed wierd watching it. Same stage, same games, same announcer, same models, same spade/neuter message. But alas no Bob, no standing ovation.

Drew is already batting a 1000 with a perfect game his first time out? And 2 folks win $1000 on the big wheel? Hmmmm. Did CBS throw softball pitches for this one? Was the fix in? Will Drew make it his own show? Will it last? Will people riot in the streets? Will Bob return for the occasional Prime time special. Am I just freaking lame for ranting on about a stoopid game show?
Only time will tell.

Jeopardy is on, gotta run

New college polls just came out today...
I see Auburn inched up one spot. Good.
Hmmm, who's missing from last week
I see Bobby Bowden, beaten by his own son, droped out. Only a fall from 19.
Seems to be someone else missing. Who could it be?
Ah here it is, No Wolverines.
Michigan posts the biggest poll plummet in history from 5 to nada.
Now that's comedy.

In other news check what's coming soon to a DVD retailer near you. Most Excellent!

Is the curse of Bob Barker already at work?

I actually welcome this news. Hope it's a sign of things to come

You don't really buy beer, you just rent it for an hour or 2.

I ask for so little...

2007-07-31T20:54:19Z

...and man do I get it.

It doesn't take that much to entertain me but my favorite game shows have really let me down lately.

Bob Barker is gone, but repeats are still being shown till the fall. Work here has a TV in the break room so I can catch a bit every now and then. So tt's still not hit home that he's gone just yet. And Drew Carey "replacing" him is just down right blasphemous. End the show already CBS.

Jeopardy on the other hand really knows how to piss me off.
They just finished 2 weeks of the lame Teen Tournament, only to start this week with "Celebrity " Jeopardy.
which makes the Teen tournament look like the Grand Masters edition. They ain't smarter than no 5th graders.
And why the fuck do they always have Regis Philben on it?
Is there a more annoying fuckstick on TV? (I thought not)
The game's afoot Trebeck.

All good things....

Tales from the Economizer

2005-10-11T18:08:48Z

So the sun came out today after a most shitty snow day yesterday, and I decided to walk the 8 blocks to get a morning newspaper. I don't have time today to hang out at the local coffee shop and read it for free. So I get to said newspaper machine, insert my 2 quarters and the door won't open, it's stuck. OK so i hit the return money button and what should fall out? Not only my 50 cents, but an extra quarter to boot. A machine that gives discounts? Cool! So now the paper's only gonna cost the Economizer 2 bits. I try again, this time the door opens (with a little persuasion). So I grab the last issue, close the door and hear another ching sound. Well now, in the return slot is yet another shiny quarter. Free paper! Woo-Hoo! The Economizer Strikes!!!!!

O what a beautifull Morning.....

2005-10-10T17:30:17Z

.. o what a crappy day.

Just take a look at the bullshit I got to wake up to this morning.
Screw this crap. Winter can bite my shinny metal ass.

School school school, I'm getting burned out on school.
Ok, who wants to finish my homework for me?
I'll pay with beer, or wine, or tequilla, or whatever your tastes are.

Wow, on Bob Barker today (that's "The Price is Right" for those of you not in the know) a dude won both showcases with a great bid. Missed it by only $89. Sure makes up for that paltry $100 a girl won playing "Plinko"

Yeap, a most productive day so far...

Heads up!

2005-08-25T20:34:20Z

Well , looks like old KingGene is gonna be making a visit down south real soon.
Seems my dad is in a bind , the shop downtown (for those of you in the know) on Meridian street, got sold, and my dad still has a bunch of auto stuff (junk really) stored down there. He has till Oct 1 to vacate. So he's flying me home (yay, free air fare) in Septemer for about 2 weeks to put my sorry ass to work, since I ain't got no real job right now.
Hope to see you all (you know who you are) in a couple of weeks. I may even buy a round of drinks.
Or run and hide, just consider yourself fairly warned.

Last episode of Six Feet under: Absolute Genuius. Never have I seen a better send off for a show ever!
I even got misty eyed at the end. Wow! Fantastic finale. Thanks for the memories Alan Ball. Bravo.

I tell you , there's nothing like a free Iron Maiden concert to take the edge off of being unemployed.

Slow day on the LJ

2005-08-09T19:39:30Z

So that job I had, let's just say , easy come, easy go.
Just didn't work out, seems I wasn't "the right fit", so I'll just leave it at that.
At least I got paid to get up early and show up for 2 weeks.
So it's back to late nights and job hunting. On a brighter note I have had 2 interviews
hopefully something will come along.

Maybe I could write that great american novel?
Or maybe I should just join the Forrest Servive and become a Park Ranger, no cube farm there.

No grey area here

Ok folks. Serious subject at hand.
Who do you root for? White Spy or Black Spy?

This IS a test, not to be taken lightly.
Your answers will have major impact on what I think of you.

Ok, so I had a great meal last night of rice and spicy Asian cuisine at a local eating establishment.
At the end of the meal, I cleansed my pallet with that obligatory Fortune cookie.
But alas, when I broke open said confection, there was no fortune to be had. Not one slip of paper
no wise advise or random lottery numbers to be used.
Very spooky. I haven't left my house since.

So what exactly does this mean when there is no fortune in one's cookie?

A little something I drew up....

2005-08-02T04:23:06Z

No spoilers, just my reaction

2005-08-01T05:21:35Z

Tonight, 6 Feet Under. What da F#@k?
Really, I mean it. Seriously, What the F#@K!!!!!!!!!!?????

And only 3 more episodes to go? damn damn damn.
Why do the great shows go away so soon?

Time keeps on ticking..........

2005-07-29T15:58:50Z

what the hell? July 29? where the hell did this month go?
I just bid audiu to June and wasn't the 4th just the other day?
You know I really don't mind getting older, (partial truth)
but why does time have to fly by so quickly. That's what really cranks my gears.

So my truck started leaking antifreeze yesterday. I just put in a new radiator 2 months ago. That's not the problem. Thought it might be the water pump. Nope. Turns out to be a crack in the main hose going into the thermostat. Yeap I got hosed. So I don't have time to fix till tonight. Looks like it's duct tape to the rescue. Wrapped the hose in question with it this morning, just a trickle now. Click and Clack would be so proud of me (actaully they would rag me to no end)
