I am pleased to intorduce you to...

HELO! the betta fish. He is my new office pet.





Sadly, I think he is a sulking, goth teenager fish. But, I love him anyway.

Inspiration

for this post is brought to you by the malfunctioning cable box.

Old TV: Got reception without cable box.

Beautiful, New, Secrect Lover TV: No reception without cable box. Don't worry I still love you little TV.

The cable guy can't come until Friday. It is Tuesday.

The flashing 88:88 is taunting me.


Oh, I love TV
But, now it's gone and I'm sad
Please come back to me.

How much more random can I make this post? I do not know or care.

Maybe without the TV I will at least go to bed on time. And, now I have an excuse to take half of Friday off to wait for the repair man.

I could talk about kickball, but I am too tired (as I am sure you can tell from this stream of consciousness post).

Hair!

I didn't see Jack or anyone else from Lost

... but it was still a pretty good vacation.

I will post more later, but you can go here for some pictures.

A Quick Summary:

* 0 - the number of days I slept in... actually, most days we woke up at 6:30, which is earlier than I normally do.

* 1 - the number of former boy-band members I saw at the airport.

* 2 - the number of times I went swimming in the ocean... my parents don't swim, so beach time was limited.

* 3 - the number of times I had Cincinnati Chili in the 4 days surrounding the trip that I was in Cincinnati.

* 4 - number of rental cars we had, sadly none of them were of the convertabile or Mustang style.

* 5 - number of hours it takes to fly to/from California (LAX or SFO).

* 6 - this is harder than it looks.

* 7 - Number of nights we actully spent in Hawaii.

* 8 - Are you even reading anymore? Do the numbers mean anything to you? This ideas seemed better when I first started.

* 9 - I like even numbers better than odd numbers, excpet for multiples of 5.

* 10 - Number of planes I flew on.

* 11 - AM, the time we arrived in Cincinnati on Wednesday, after leaving Honolulu at noonish on Tuesday. It takes a long time to get home.

* 12 - the number of take-offs I have had in the last two weeks (11 from planes, 1 from a helicopter).

And now, I need another vacation.

More like Stupid Rider

So, because I was so bored last night and I couldn't justify to myself (because it is just sad) to go to bed at 9:00 PM. I sat down to watch Easy Rider.

You know, one of those films everyone (everyone old) talks about as being so good and such a monumental film. One of those films that you should watch to get more jokes and pop culturereferences?

Well, they are all wrong. It is a dumb, dumb movie. It made me mad to watch it. Nothing about it is good. Okay, maybe that isn't true, Jack Nicholson was in it, and he was kind a good. Although, he dies dumbly in the film. Actually they all die dumbly in the film... oops I hope I didn't ruin it for you, not really though.

I actually fast forwarded through a lot of it. The entire movie is 95 minutes long, a good 45 minutes is just them riding bikes, not talking, just riding. Anger RISING. Even the soundtrack didn't make me want to watch.

I would watch Warriors a 1,000 times before I watch this again.

HATE IT.
