So, there were two things that I forgot to mention yesterday.
One of the guys on our multimedia team is a young guy. He recently graduated from the Art Institute and this is his first professional job. He's a nice guy, but rather dim in the ways of the world on occasion. The other morning he ran out of gas on his way to work, and that's not even the best part. In order to remedy his situation he called 911. Yes, 911. Don't worry, he's still being teased about it. In the middle of the day, he was paged over the intercom to extension 911. No one in our group could look at him without bursting into laughter. We all want to know why he called 911, but no one can keep a straight face long enough to ask.
The second comes from Columbia House. They've decided to screw me over one last time. I say one last time, not because I'm cancelling my multiple memberships, but because they are going out of business and shuffling all their customers over to BMG (with whom I already have other multiple memberships). How does this screw me over, you ask? Well even if you didn't ask I'm still going to tell you. Over the years through various complaints and problems that I've had with Columbia House I've amassed a dozen or so free cd vouchers. Now I have to sit down with a catalog and my cd lists and come up with a ton of cds that I'd like to get for free. Well, almost free. By the time they get done ripping me off for processing and shipping it'll be like buying them used.
Speaking of buying used things, thanks to a little memory prodding from Susiezy I managed to make it over to a small alumni run non-profit bookstore for Bryn Mawr and Vassar. They close in August for vacations and inventory so the last couple weeks of July they have increasingly better sales. 11 books less than $5.00. I managed to pick off another six or seven from my book lists. Good day.

There's a house that Terri and I pass on our way to certain stores that we always joke about buying if it ever comes on the market. Well, the last time I drove past it, there was a big honkin' For Sale sign in the front yard. So, when I got home, I looked it up, just to see. Anyone got a spare million or two? Terri estimated 600,000. I said closer to 800,000. Turns out together we were still over half a million off. Such is life. I guess we'll just have to look for something a little more in our price range.
I saw this article in my daily skimming and it almost made me snort dr. pepper out my nose. The first sentence really did me in. "...loud music coming from a buggy..." Through a bizarre set of circumstances and in-jokes, all I could hear was Peaches come from a can. They were put there by a man, in a factory, downtown.
Anyway, moving right down the list of strange stuff I found this morning this guy is accused of neglecting his mother's health in the role of primary care giver. He was providing care in exchange for her social security checks and her pension, which he used to pay his lease. Now, obviously this guy isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. I mean, if your mother struck that deal with you and you were actually benefiting from the money, wouldn't you take extra special care of her? Even if you were a jackass and you were only in it for the money. Wouldn't you want to make sure that the money didn't run out, which is the outcome neglect and death would bring about? Moron.
The Pens released their season schedule today. I can't tell you what I'm doing after work, but I can damn sure tell you where I'm going to be at 7:30 on Saturday October 8th, 2005. And, depending on cash flow issues, as many dates thereafter that I can swing. Lord Stanley is comin' home to Pittsburgh!
Matt sent me this article in response to this, this, and this. Perhaps if Congress had a bit more to take up their time they wouldn't have to bother with video games. Perhaps they should concentrate a little more on the Supreme Court nomination and handling that in a fair, unbiased manner. Perhaps they should tend to the war in Iraq and the growing concerns with terrorist attacks in London and elsewhere. Perhaps they should all stop trying to present themselves as a party candidate for the Presidential race in 2008.
This just falls under the heading, "Bizarre."
Craig had mentioned things in society/pop culture that you personally rail against but the vast majority seem to like. I started thinking about it and the list is way too long to spell it all out, but I'll give it a try.
Some television shows
The Sopranos, Sex in the City, Seinfeld, Ally McBeal, Desperate Housewives...I've seen episodes of all these shows and not one has been able to spark my attention for more than a snippet of dialogue.
Some movies
Oceans 12, Charlie's Angels, Harry Potter 3...how can you take good base material to work from and churn out shit like this?
I'm sure I'll get to more later, but that's enough for now.

Very little going on today. This weekend wasn't too bad. My mother-in-law was recouping from knee replacement surgery so there were the obligatory visits there. We saw Further Down the Road play at a local Starbucks. Gage decided he liked ice cream, but he did not like oreo ice cream. We managed to get the yard mowed and some more work done inside the house.
I also finally managed to finish 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Verne is a good writer and he was a good scientist. I just wish he'd kept the two separate. Much like Moby Dick, if you had removed the classification of every species of fish, it would have been a good adventure story.
After reading back to back Verne novels, it was time to go back and do a little enjoyment reading. And, since I had picked up the 6th Potter novel, that series seemed as good a place as any to start. So, I not only started the first novel, but managed to finish it as well. So, tonight, hopefully I get to start the second novel. Who knows, I may make better time with them than I thought.
On to hockey news...
Crosby will make an excellent addition to the Penguins when they finally draft him on Saturday. In the meantime, I think they could stop selling his jersey. I feel like a jinx is in place or something.
I heard one of the funniest things on Pittsburgh radio this morning and it hasn't nothing to do with my loathing of baseball, it was one of those things that was funny because it's true.
"With hockey back on track, the Pens winning the lottery for Crosby, Patrick having the money to pull in any available players, and Steeler's training camp starting in a week, the Pittsburgh Pirates are going to have to take turns writing letters to the editor in order to get press."
So very true.

Holy Crap!!!! Why can't it be October already?
Yes, I've been noticeably absent. It's due to the fact that once again I managed to finish a semester's worth of work for a class in one week. Of course, the rest of my life got put on hold, but the class is finished. I even managed to pass.
A ton of stuff has happened since the last post, but I'll probably just bore everyone to death relating it. I will say that Gage had a great time in the hotel pool and no we obviously weren't the family reunion that got hit by lightning.
One thing I read in my self-imposed hiatus was this from the imdb headlines...
"Jessica Simpson fears her new movie The Dukes Of Hazzard will flop because people see her as a singer and not a movie star. The pop sensation is one of a growing number of young stars following in the footsteps of icons like Madonna and Jennifer Lopez who want to conquer all aspects of the entertainment industry. Simpson plays sexy heroine Daisy Duke in the big screen adaptation of the cult series and desperately hopes there will be no critical backlash concerning her acting skills. She says, "I don't want people walking out of a movie thinking I was trying to act or be some movie star. I want them to think, 'That might make me like Jessica a little bit more.'"
Oh, Jessica, Jessica, Jessica. This movie is gonna flop for so many other reasons than the fact that people might look at you acting like a dumbass on the big screen and say, "Gee, isn't she just a singer?"
One other thing that I'll point out is the fact that I saw the Fantastic Four as my annual, "Let's get the hell away from my crazy family movie pick". I wasn't impressed. But for completely different reasons than the ones that Tom mentioned. I thought they moved the plot right along and they found their powers in due time. However, even the wonderfully bright casting of Michael couldn't sustain the mistake they made with her. Sorry, when the casting people ignore the characterization and underlying motivation of a character in order to find someone who's going to look incredible in the latest Victoria's Secret. I don't believe for a second that Sue Richards from the comic books and mind of Stan Lee is anything even remotely close to what was portrayed on screen. The special effects were also kind of a let down. And the "climactic" fight scene was anything but. I'm also a little curious as to how the chamber to change them back doesn't have enough power to accomplish the task without Doom, but Ben is able to remutate himself with the diminished power? And he's instantly remutated instead of the three or four days from the first time? That plothole is big enough to accomodate the driving of the truck that he smashes in the movie.
The inevitable sequel might be able to fix some of the problems but it will be a DVD rental at best. Most likely I'll just wait til Tom buys it and then borrow it off of him.

So, how sad is this?
I now have in my possession not one, but two copies of the new Harry Potter book.
A little backstory maestro...
My family reunion is the 3rd Saturday of July. The publisher also picked this date as the release date which prevented me from pre-ordering from anyone since I wouldn't be around to get it. I figured I'd just wait a week and then pick up a copy. However, my uncle was looking for a picnic table. No one around the Bradford area seemed to have one so I told him that I'd stop at the Wal-Mart in Olean where we were staying. While in the building, we hear the announcement that although the story normally closes at 12:00, they were extending the hours til 1:00 A.M. in order to sell copies of the new Harry Potter book. So, I ask the cashier while we're checking out if you needed to pre-order the book. She said, "No, we're starting to sell them at 12:01 and we'll close at 1:00.
So, I decided to see what the mob would be like. I'm still trying to figure out what the mob would be like. There was none. There were maybe 75 people there. They pulled a pallet of the books out of the back, people lined up, they were handed as many copies as they desired, they went to one of 5 registers open, checked out (at a hugely reduced price I might add. I got two for the MSRP of one), drove back to the hotel (which those in the wedding party will remember is right down the street from the Wal-Mart), booted up the computer, and typed this out by 12:18 according to the time signature below. If I had gone to the Barnes and Nobles in Robinson close to Pittsburgh, in 17 minutes I might have been able to see the parking lot where the store next to the Barnes and Nobles was located.
And now to ruin everyone's day...SPOILER ALERT...
Harry Potter is in this book.
You might say that I had to leave the state to buy the book.
Now it's time to go to bed. I've done enough stupid things for one night apparently.
Oh, and the second copy was for my cousin in case anyone was wondering.

So, we stuck close to home this past weekend. My dad fixed our lawnmower and dropped it off on Saturday. So, while they were playing with Gage, Terri and I took the opportunity to get some housework done. I finally got tired of tripping over the stacks of books that needed to be assimilated into the collection so I bit the bullet and started work in the library. I spent about 6 hours working in there on Saturday, another 3 hours on Sunday, 2 hours Monday, and I finally finished up Tuesday night. My rough count pins about 190-225 new books. Assimilation required some furniture moving and some creative housekeeping. It also required some major diversion in the entertainment department. Which gave me just the excuse I needed to make a dent in all the movies that I borrowed from Tom. So, I managed to clear 6 1/2 movies during my time in the library. Now, keep in mind whose collection these came from when looking at the caliber of cinematic delight.
I'll list these in order watched since enjoyment might be difficult to measure.
1. Dancing at the Blue Iguana I really didn't think that any movie could possibly make the naked female form more unappealing than this movie, but I was wrong. At least Showgirls had Gina to keep me entertained. The only potential redemption for Iguana was Sandra Oh and even she couldn't pull it off unfortunately.
2. Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star This was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. The cameos of actual child stars put this directly into watchability.
3. Dorm Daze Oddly enough this movie was a lot more enjoyable than I expected. This movie had the plot basis of the older intelligent comedy of hollywood where everything ends up interconnected with a ton of little twists, turns, and of course, misunderstandings. Plus Danielle as a gossip-monger and drug addict.
4. Black Knight This movie was highly disappointing. The premise is quite overdone and even the black angle was done before.
5. Repli-Kate Typical. The premise is old and no new twists really. Although the sidekick, played by him was pretty good.
6. 100 Girls This wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be, but it did have it's moments.
While I was looking for some of the links I came across this. Why God Why?!?
Burning Question #2 Why does a radio station that claims to play hits from a catalog of two and a half decades have 3 different DJ's that play the same song (a remake from long ago) when the song itself is almost a year off the charts?
One little spot of corporate idiocy that I noticed (almost used the camera phone on this one). Subaru is touting this in all their new advertising. At the little hotel near our house, there was a trailer for the SUV. The hilarious part was that the trailer was being pulled by a Ford F250 pick-up.

I know I've been absent recently and that's due to lack of sleep. For some reason that's beyond anything that Terri, I, my parents, her parents, co-workers, etc. Gage has developed an abject fear of his crib and more importantly being (or sleeping) in it. It's made for quite a few sleepless nights since he invariably ends up between us on the bed. The poor boy is in for a lifetime of my sleep habits. They'll serve him well in college but are pretty useless otherwise. I finally had enough after 45 minutes of screaming so I grabbed my tool-box (coincidentally a father's day gift from Gage) and headed upstairs. I took the crib apart and turned it into the toddler bed. He thought that was cool for about 5 minutes then he cried and ended up in bed with us. At the moment he's sleeping there, but we'll see if it makes it all night. Then if we've actually solved the problem we're going to end up screwing it all up again this weekend when we travel to the family reunion.
In other news, I actually managed to win the Rare Entries competition that Craig runs during the summer. So, I have to come up with 8 pop culture questions for my entry. I've managed to get one so far. Plus I have to manage to answer this week's questions. For anyone interested in playing, let me know and I'll send you the info and questions for this week's contest. There's no money, it's all about the bragging rights.

Ok, so I took the weekend off, shoot me. So after posting that we were taking Gage to Idlewild on Friday with my parents, Susiezy IM's me and says, "I know Gage is too little to do this, but Idlewild is where my nephew got lost." I didn't think much about it. Although Gage was walking it was always for a purpose. He was either walking to us, or to a particular place or toy. He hadn't really ever just walked off anywhere. Either there's some sort of force-field around the park or Susiezy was trying to curse me. We were sitting at an outdoor table near the water park and as I turned my head I see Gage talking off across the sidewalk. Thankfully his little legs are too short for him to get any kind of distance yet. But now he just walks when and where he wants. Nobody said that was part of the package. He's just supposed to walk where I want him to walk. None of this running off on his own jazz. Anyway, Gage loved the park. I think he rode the Merry-Go-Round 6 times. He also rode other assorted rides and went into the little baby pool with me. So, Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, and Gage had fun. Dad even managed to dust off his dart skills for a prize. Damn do I miss having an in-house dart-board though.
We went to my Uncle's house on Sunday for a little 4th of July get-together. The people a couple doors up from them were having a yard sale. They had one of these. Not quite that one, but similar. Apparently their grandchildren had grown out of it and they didn't have any use for it anymore. Terri made some remark about how nice it would be to have one of those for Gage and the next thing we knew my Uncle Bob was thrusting money into the guy's hand. So, on Sunday afternoon they delivered Gage's playhouse and he spent a couple hours going into the house, coming out of the house, opening the door, closing the door. So, Gage had a great weekend.
The 4th was pretty laid-back. Terri had to work so Gage and I hung out at home and tried to get some housework done. Then once it got dark we simply walked outside and watched some fireworks. Next year we might actually take Gage somewhere. Although he did better this year than last year. Last year he slept through everything.
This story has been picked up by every major news organization. I've seen it on ESPN, CNN, Sports Illustrated, MSN, the local papers, local sites, and half a dozen other places. I'd like to think this would vault Pittsburgh to the top of the heap when it comes to loyal sports fans, but I'm fairly certain there had to be crack involved somewhere along the way.
This might require some sort of intervention for Susiezy.
If this makes it into an actual court, I'm gonna start making my list of ridiculous lawsuits. And I think I might want this guy on my team of lawyers. Any idiot who thinks they can use that as a plausible defense is insane enough for me.
Thanks to those who have already donated to the Alzheimer's walk. Still plenty of time and I'll have more details as it gets closer to the actual date of the walk. As always, e-mail me if you're interested in donating.
