It’s on now, baby! There ain’t no turnin’ back…
right at this moment I’m totally cool.
Clear as a crystal, sharp as a knife,
I feel like I’m in the prime of my life…
So it looks like the remainder of my time here is going to be divided between saying goodbye to people and writing and frankly, I’d much rather be doing the later. In the best case scenario, I’d love to leave here with nothing but some new columns and Leaving Miami on my slate. It’s pretty much a given that there’s not much I can do in the way of packing up shop until a day or two before the big day, which means that in theory I should have about eighteen quality working days ahead of me…stay tuned to find out if I actually use them to the best of their potential…
Google Trends
This seemed kinda interesting…
Damn you, Henley!!!
And I just remembered that it was two years ago this summer that I had front row tickets to see Don Henley’s solo act when he was scheduled to appear in Northern Michigan as part of the National Cherry Festival.
He cancelled like two weeks before the show; I cried for like three days straight…
How many times can one say “farewell” anyways?
I got an e-mail announcement that The Eagles are coming to The Palace of Auburn Hills here in another month or so with their Farewell 1 tour…
A. haven’t these guys already said farewell two or three different times now?
B. Who in their right mind is willing to pay $177.50 per ticket, plus Ticketmaster’s fees, to see anybody live in concert?!
It’s really too bad, too, because I would’ve liked to see them, but over four hundred dollars between two people is just way too much to spend for a single evening of entertainment…and that’s not even including dinner! I think the most I’ve ever paid for concert tickets was somewhere around $80 a piece for Aerosmith a few years back, and it was a good show, but still hard to tell if it’s worth that kind of cash.
Hell, one could get many a hooker for a fraction of the cost and still have money leftover for bowling the next day…
Friendly friends
I was just clicking randomly and came across somebody who had 269 people on their friends list – two hundred and sixty-nine?!
I’m not saying that she would’ve even had to personally know all or most of them, but how could anyone follow the lives of that many people? I can hardly keep up with my list as it is… 😉
Pondering…
If 4 out of 5 people suffer from diarrhea, does that mean that the other guy enjoys it???
I might be old, but I’m someone new…
I watched a few of the Sports Night DVDs again over the past few days – man, was that ever a good show! The only problem is that I get into a groove with them and end up watching for many, many hours on end. Nonetheless, hands down the best boxed set I’ve ever purchased!
And in those reruns, I came across a new (old) band that’s turning out to be pretty cool, too. This particular song kind of highlights several of the episodes (on disc three, I believe?) where the morale of the story is pretty up and down, but the rest that I’ve heard so far have been decent also. I’m trying to hold back on listening to everything I could find all at once so that I’ll have plenty of fresh music to occupy the myriad of 20+ hour car trips that I’ll be enduring in less than a month, but we’ll just have to see what happens…
Twisted pairs suck…
It seemed like a simple enough idea – borrow a pair of wire crimpers from work, slice off a broken end and replace it with a fully-functioning connector – bing, bang, boom…easy as pie, right?
Now I’ve got a spare fifty foot cable running the length of the house from the hub in my office out to the living room where I use my laptop. Time to switch to wi-fi? I think so…
giant bugs
There is one super-sized fly that has been following me around the house for the past several days. I think he lives somewhere between my office and my bedroom, always ready to make his presence known by repeatedly swooping down at my head whenever I’m trying to sleep or work. There aren’t any long-term effects that I should be aware of if I were to setup a bug zapper inside, are there?
If something isn’t done soon, it isn’t going to matter…
