Farewell: 23-September-2010

As I spend the day doing prep for a colon test scheduled for tomorrow, I find that I cannot work up any motivation to write a blog entry.

I am spent and so I bid the few who still read this blog farewell.

Rants, Raves, and Bewilderment: 06-Sept-2010

Happy Labor Day everyone, a day which was created to celebrate labor unions and now with their popularity go down, is a bit ironic. Now we used this day to celebrate the end of summer.

Rants.

Persons Unknown on NBC, what a piece of crap that show turned out to be. We were promised that the mysteries would be explained. Did not happen. Instead, we have no answers at all after watching this crapfest for 12 episodes. This show makes Harper's Island look good, at least they identified the killer at the end. Stephen King raves about this show, thank God his work is the total opposite of this crapfest.

The Boston Red Sox have once again broken my heart. At least they could have taken the damn Yankees out.
Friday, we had this big Hurricane Earl warning, my company actually let us leave at noon. So I rushed through my experiment and get done by 1:45 pm, get soaked by a heavy rain storm that ended five minutes after I started my walk home, and that was it. No high winds, just some heavy rain. Power did not go out at all. What a pain in the butt that day was.

Raves.

The Glades on A&E, just love this show.

Machete, the latest film by Robert Rodriguez and Ethan Maniquis, not for everyone, but a grand old time for us fans of the grind house movie. Just an amazing film experience.

Penn State won its home/season opener easily over Youngstown State. Always good to see a Penn State victory, I still remember when Bowling Green beat us in what was supposed to be an easy win opener.

Bewilderment.

Sports Illustrated is picking the Steelers to beat the Packers in this year's Super Bowl. The Steelers, they are not even the best team in their division, and Big Ben is out for the first four games. At least they are not picking the frakking Jets.

Oh well.
