Friday Thoughts

  • Had a MRI on my lower back yesterday = Free.
  • I have Radiology call me when they need any sort of 'guinea pig' for various tests.
  • I have had a free CT, MRI, and Echo cardiogram.
  • I was told this time that I am near having a herniated disc if I am not careful (in lifting).
  • A MRI is very... closed in. Claustrophobic people need not apply.
  • For some reason there is a cold fan that blows right up your gown while you wait on the scan.
  • Chris and Loren came over and we played games last night.
  • I think Washington it more out of control (literally) now that it has ever been in the past. I don't mean in a power-play/hungry way I mean like out of control where no one seems to know whats going on and no one is in control. Like a an out of control top.
  • I emailed local weather lady Rebecca Miller about a Cyberpunk 2020 collectible card game Card called 'Rebbeca Miller'. The character on the card is a reporter that bears a striking resemblance to the real Rebecca Miller. The card game is several years old and I asked her if she knew about it. She replied and said she didn't recall but couldn't be for certain.
  • She probably thinks I am some stalker nut now.
  • I guess I'll cancel the severed cat head I was going to send her as a present...

Wednesday Thoughts

  • We were supposed to have snow yesterday but it hit South of here. That makes me happy.
  • The yard is like a swamp. It really needs a good solid week of drying out.
  • The cafe here at the hospital ran out of Ketchup yesterday... everyone panic!
  • I am watching Faulty Towers at the moment. That show is a jam packed 30 minutes.
  • When I was in the cafe getting breakfast I saw them making the stuff for today's lunch. It's taco salad. Man do I love to eat. I can't wait for lunch!
  • Speaking of eating there is a Shell station on 730 and 287 that makes the best crispitos. I mean the best! They make all sorts of food items there and they have one of those Hunt Bros. Pizza in there too!
  • One downside to that place is that it's always crowded.
  • Decatur high is just down the street so in the morning you will usually see kids with too much money getting stuff there.
  • When I was a teen none of us (in my school) had a car less than ten years old.
  • All these kids have current model vehicles.
  • I guess that's my generation's "up hill, barefoot, in 2 feet of snow" story.

Monday Thoughts

  • One of the cats had a puke-a-thon last night. Ech.
  • Another cat is hanging around the house waiting for Judy (our smaller cat). When I let Judy out they two hang out together. The strange cat is named Zeus. I caught him months ago and had him fixed. He hates me (for obvious reasons).
  • Its nice not having Dish Network (or any broadcast television). We spend so little time in front of the boob-tube now.
  • I wish it would stop raining. It seems like it will take forever for the ground to dry out.
  • I have been watching the British show 'Man stroke Woman'. Its very funny.
  • Me and the wife have not been sleeping well lately. I think the bed is given up the ghost. We need a new one.

Friday Thoughts

  • Remember my comment about Decatur giving us the shaft about not offering space to shoot? Well, we just went to the park near downtown and shot the scenes we needs...
  • It was the nosiest PLACE ON EARTH.
  • Ambulances, firetrucks, kids, cars with loud sound systems... you name it.
  • When we finished it suddenly got SUPER quiet, of course.
  • A cop showed up and I thought someone called them on us (as usual) but the cop went into a house right across the street.
  • That's why we shoot in parks so no one can kick us out. It's public property fool!
  • For Decatur's lack of support I will be sure to add something to that effect to the final credits of the episodes of Season 2.

Wednesday Thoughts

  • There is still snow is spots here and there. A reminder of the madness.
  • I figured out that I like winter weather ONLY if it a.) doesn't inconvenience me and b.) isn't windy.
  • I have been dissed by the 'big time' blogger in Decatur. I think I shall remove him from my blog list.
  • I have been asking for permission to film somewhere in Decatur in front of a business...
  • This town has been freaking silent. It hates me.
  • I hope we can sell our house in April and move back into Fort Worth.
  • I love West Fort Worth.
  • I am proof reading Chris' book. Oh man... I think one person will like it... Chris.
  • That picture is Chris hanging out at Trinity Park with the Mark Twain sculpture.
  • Some sites utilize way to many exclimation marks. Like this one.!!!
  • I watched Galaxy Quest on Bluray last night. That's a fun movie.
  • I found a website that lets you stream your webcam (or whatever). I am thinking Chris and I will try this out as a weekly meeting. Yeah, it's free.
  • I missed the Westminster Dog Show this year. I try to watch a little of it but we got rid of our Dish Network. Oh well.
  • Maybe others don't care for the Westminster like I don't care for the Olympics. They think it's pointless (like I think the Olympics are). See, I can consider everyone's opinions.

Monday Thoughts

  • I don't ever remember snow this deep.
  • Apparently it has never been this deep.
  • The Global Warming nuts say the blizzards are because of global warming.
  • They will change their facts no matter what the situation to keep 'global warming' alive.
  • Such a crock.
  • I have the opinion that if you don't have something crowding your schedule you waste your free time.
  • If you are busy all the time, you get extra stuff done because your free time is precious.
  • I have been doing a lot of writing lately but it seems harder and harder to come up with new ideas.
  • Saw the Olympics on the TV... don't care.
  • Who actually does care, IMO only those involved with them.
  • Blew 130 bucks on dinner last night... oh the things we do for Valentines...
  • Out on Thursday and Friday from work, my truck got stuck in the mud at the house.
  • Had to have my boss come over and help me get it out.
  • My bumper is slightly skew-wiff now.
  • I did get a LOT of editing done on my show this weekend. I can thank the snow for something!
  • Did you know I had a TV show (as if I haven't gone on and on about it). Click here.

Wednesday Thoughts

  • Why are there always lines at the WalMart gas pumps? It's like a 4 star restaurant... I know it ain't that good.
  • Finally picked up a Transformers mega-scale Skywarp from WalMart (to adorn my desk). It was 60 bucks! I was just waiting until it went on clearance. It was half price!
  • The weather has been soooo miserable lately. The yard is just mush when you walk on it.
  • I actually got my Ni America water bill this month! Miracles do happen.
  • I transferred my fish back into the big tank after a rigorous cleaning. I think they are happier. They are at least less stressed since their temp tank was in the cat room.
  • I want to sell my house. Please refer people to it! If you have them tell the realtor you referred them I will give you 3 thousand bucks. I mean it! Here's the link.
  • I started watching my Watchmen Motion Comic on BluRay last night. Many I love that!
  • I am going to write a review about it soon.
  • On my other blog I am supposed to be having help from my cohort in crime...
  • He has not been helping.
  • This is disappointing.

Monday Thoughts

  • Stayed the night at WinStar (or should I say LoseStar) again. Nothing new to report, my luck still stinks.
  • I think I should decide that I will not go gambling ANYWHERE where it takes me more than 10 minutes to reach the location. I think it will save me lots of money.
  • I had a poker party for coworkers on Saturday. Its very embarrassing to have them drive through New Fairview to get to my house... Did I mention I live there?
  • There was a strange sight Saturday at the 114 West turn off of 287. There was an accident but apparently it involved a couple of large vehicles so by the time I got there they were sanding the muddy road to get traction for the mega-tow truck and they had a big dumpster with people picking up all sorts of trash on the road. I'm sure there's an interesting story there.
  • Anyway I was heading to Giant Burger when I saw that mess. They were VERY nice there. I am guessing they are 'economy-proofing' themselves by pleasing customers.
  • They have always been nice, they were just EXTRA nice this time.
  • Their burgers are Giant, just like it says.
  • Watched bits of the Superbowl while strolling the casino, not too interested.
  • I did notice that the stadium they were in was very bland. I can't wait to see what happens when it is in Arlington next year. I'm sure Jerry will pull out ALL the stops.
  • Everyone was going on and on about how Louisiana needed this because of Katrina BLA BLA BLA. So, you are telling me this win will mean all those abandoned, run down neighborhoods are going to get fixed because some grown men threw a ball around?
  • Hype.
  • I just think winning a Superbowl = good news for memorabilia sellers in the area + good news for local economies where the game is held (for about 2 weeks). That's ALL.
  • Hype.
  • Can you tell I'm not into sports. I am in a VERY SMALL minority but I am sticking to my guns. I think professional sports is a waste of time.
  • I think college sports is a tragedy. If they spent the money on academics how many cures could they have found by now? How many decent presidents would there be?
  • Yes yes I realize sports brings money into a college, but still, they focus on it too much.

Wednesday Thoughts

  • I think the reason I am more conservative and want less government is because of this: What would happen if the government had some sort of collapse (budgetary, or whatever)? Well the more we depend on federal government the worse the impact on the public if it failed. Is my logic flawed there? Isn't the same view about not buying too many of one particular stock the same... don't keep all your eggs in one basket???
  • Here is a story about a town that began to print it's own money. Is this a trend towards a more local economy? Huuuurrrrmmm.
  • New Fairview needs to do this and call them Redneck Greenbacks.
  • I kid! I kid!
  • I have been butting heads with everyone at work latley. Penny pinching can cause real tension. Just buy it! I say. You got to spend money to make it.
  • There was a new image released from Tron 2 today. I nearly wet myself.
  • I am having trouble finding a local auto mechanic that works on Super Beetles. I need to get mine fixed up but I don't want to drive it half way across the Metroplex.
  • On the radio they call it the 'Metro Area' now, not the Metroplex. That's so trendy.
  • Makes me think of slums.
  • My wife swears that the Decatur Jack in the Box switched to smaller tacos.
  • I went this week and didn't notice it. I think they might have 'tried' a smaller one.
  • I think they tried scrambled eggs on their supreme croissant to (for a while).
  • I am thinking they keep trying new stuff to save money but it fails so they go back.
  • I was all ready to write a complaint letter too...
  • I call their tacos 'gut rot tacos'. Man those things give you heartburn. They are made with some sort of 'meat paste'. Nothing at all like a real taco, but I can't help myself!


Tuesday Thoughts

  • Watched the Matrix on Blu-ray last night. Man that's an enjoyable movie. Why o why didn't just stop there!?
  • Had to reload my home PC because it was full of the 'virusus'.
  • I have gotten really good at doing that and I can have one reloaded in no time flat.
  • Some one in the office said we should get rid of ancillary systems and another person didn't quite hear them and asked what they said and I said: 'they said they wanted to get rid of Fancy Larry.' Everyone cracked up... including myself.
  • I popped in Heroes of Might and Magic 3 the other day (see previous post) and I am still playing it.
  • My wife says it looks so primitive.
  • I LOVE games that are 2-D.
  • I updated my website and added new video. Why don't you check it out?
  • Filed our taxes and we are getting a huge refund this year. We REALLY needed it!
  • I used to pay 200.00 to an accountant. I now pay H&R block online 50.00. No brainer.
  • I am selling my MASH series (now that I done watching it again) on Ebay and my psyche is punishing me by giving me MASH dreams every night.
  • There was no MASH episode with midgets, right? Or how about full frontal nudity? Man I have issues!
  • I can't wait until we have the ability to record dreams.
