Going Bananas
Deep Purple has a new album out. As usual, it’s a good, solid, quality album (although their last one, Abandon wasn’t as great, I think). THe reason I’m writing this is twofold. First to tell you about it. It’s a definite pickup. Unless you like modern crap like Korn, Linkin Park, Britney Spears and other […]
Spam Spam again
Updated the spam count for this morning. The numbers on the left are what I delete from my SpamKiller dead mail folder EACH DAY. Did some computing this morning on the numbers.. Since roughly 6PM on Friday the 22nd (that’s about 112.5 hours) I’ve gotten 10,185 pieces of spam. That’s about 90.5 pieces of spam […]
Spam Spam Spam Spam
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 […]
Holiday DVD Overload
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 […]
Lynn on the Rangers
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 […]
Stupid printer
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 […]
Thank Dio for God
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 […]
Moon Spam
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.
Pat Benatar Concert
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 […]
We have a houseguest
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 […]
