Observations, rants, and musings by Joe Siegler.
For a long time I’ve gotten mounds and mounds of spam. I’ve decided to start counting the number of it I get. I get rather a lot, and each morning when I get in to work, I empty the dead mail folder from my spam killer software. I delete thousands of them a week, so […]
My wife and I got our first DVD player back around the Holiday season of 1998. We’ve been enamoured with the format ever since, and we’ve watched “the general public” become more crazed with the format since. However, in all the years we’ve had one (this’ll be our 5th year, 6th holiday season) I don’t […]
Had something really cool happen on Tuesday night. My wife got picked to be on the home run contest on TV for the Texas Rangers game. During Ranger games, they pick someone from a group of people who entered, and that person is the “Sonic Slam Contestant”. If a Ranger player hits a HR in […]
For several years now, I’ve had a HP LaserJet 6L printer. It’s not the fastest printer around, and it’s only black & white, but it’s more than served my needs in the time I’ve had it. Yesterday I had a MAJOR paper jam in the thing. Paper jams I’ve had in the past were easy […]
Last night I attended a concert in Dallas. It was what I affectionally called “The Summer Geezer Rock Tour”. The reason is that the three bands playing were Motorhead, Dio, & Iron Maiden. All three of these bands had some pretty big success in the 80’s, and have had varying degrees since then. The concert […]
I think this spam I’ve gotten a few of over the last few weeks is one of the most “out there” (har har) spams I’ve gotten. Once I finish saving up for the piece of the Brooklyn Bridge, I’ll get right on this.
Well, last night was the Pat Benatar concert in Ft. Worth. Going there, I was stressed out for two reasons. One, I didn’t know where exactly I was going, since I’d never actually been to Billy Bob’s before. Two, we were running late, and since we were on the backstage list to meet Pat, I […]
One of my wife’s bosses at work was going out of town for some training, and he has a 5 month old kitten. He didn’t know what he was oging to do with the cat, so we offered to keep him here. As I write this, he’s been here for about four hours, and he’s […]
One of the more annoying TV decisions in awhile comes to a head this Sunday when Fox airs the final new episode of Futurama. This show started off weak for me, but it got wickedly funny, and while it was frequently bizarre, it was almost always entertaining. It’s probably more funny than the Simpsons is […]
This weekend, my wife and I are NOT taking a step into the past, as we’re going to see Pat Benatar in Ft. Worth on Saturday night. We’re going to see a current modern musician perform. Not seeing an 80’s flashback, DAMMIT! I’ve always listened to Pat Benatar, and probably would have stopped listening after […]
