I blog, you read.

This is what it has come to.  ”Eco-Shape” bottles.  

Yes,  Arrowhead has saved us (ALL OF US) from polar ice caps melting, oceans rising and everything else that Al Gore wants to spit out of his mouth.  Hell, he almost had me believing in “Man-Bear-Pig“.  Almost. As I sit her with my “Earth-Friendly” bottled water it’s tough to figure out how I should put this into words, so I will just give you the facts:  I HAVE STUMPED EVEN THE APPLE GENIUS’S!  

That’s right, they aren’t that smart.  I have been in the process of taking all my data (photos, documents and mp3’s) from my old drives and importing them to the iMac.  With this comes some problems but I figured I could solve them.   I was doing deleting of files that either don’t listen to or ones that I had doubles of.  One of the folders was for The Cure.  Pinch, if you are reading this….stop laughing.  I had the album “Disintegration” on my computer twice and figured I should get rid of one.  So I put it in the trash and told my iMac to empty the trash.

ERROR.  ERROR.  ERROR.

The folder had a lock on it from when it was on my PC and I didn’t have the right (so my iMac says) to delete the file since it was protected.  But, I could hold down the “Option” key if I wanted to REALLY delete the file.  Uh…I guess me putting it in the Trash and hitting delete wasn’t enough.  So I do what the computer tells me.  

ERROR.  

WHAT?!  So I call Apple after many different attempts to delete the folder.  I speak to a nice guy named John and he walks me through the process.  Actually, we just ended up doing everything that I told him I did over but I guess he wanted to just make sure.  He tries a couple other things that didn’t work and then says I need to talk to a specialist. Okay.

Katie picks up the line and asks me what John and I did.  I tell her.  She proceeds to tell me to try it again.  REALLY?!  ”Hey it worked!”"Really?”"Nah, I was just messin’ with ya. Can I have your job now?  It seems easy to tell people to do the same steps over and over and over.”She actually was kind of helpful when we tried three other things but when they didn’t work and she didn’t know where to go from there I was getting a little frustrated.  I just wanna delete a damn folder from my trash bin how hard is that?  It’s not like I am asking you to enter the numbers 4 8 15 16 23 42 every 108 minutes and then press Execute.  

Speaking of that, when was the last time you saw a computer with an “Execute” button on it.  I want one.  I wanna have it like do something cool like do my laundry or make my upstairs neighbors pass out from a gas that I have sent into their vents so they will stop being loud and walking around with cinderblocks on their feet.  

Anyways, so Katie is stumped.  She sends me an email with a logging program attached and has me save some logs and send them back to her.  Then she will get the information the engineers.  You mean the guys that write the programs and code for the Mac OS…..yes.

But I guess this is also telling me one thing.  ”Disintegration” is one of the best albums ever made and should never be deleted.   

There are many lines from movies that make us just ROFL sometimes. You know what I am talking about.

Well, the warped minds at “Robot Chicken” decided to take one of those lines and make it into a hilarious stop-motion movie.

HUUU-LAARRR-EEEEE-USSS!

If you don’t know what I am talking about then do your homework. 

“Oh man, this is sooo good.”

“You’re gonna be pissed when all you have left is ice cream and no cookie dough.”

“No I won’t. It’s got ‘gobs’ of cookie dough in it. See….’GOBS!’”

Here is something that you, my readers, may not know about me.  I hate to start a show/movie and then only make it halfway through it and not finish it.  I can just feel my skin crawl whenever that happens.So you might have guessed that if there is a TV series that I watch I DESPISE the end of the show.  

Why?  I HAVE TO WAIT A FRICKEN’ WEEK TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS!

That brings me to the point of this little blurb.  Denise and I have been watching LOST.  Not every….what day is on anyways?  That’s beside the point.  I had only seen one episode and that was the pilot.  I wasn’t too into it.  I am not sure why when I look back on it now but for some reason I was just bored with it.  The moon, stars or hell it could have been that I just had to poop and left the room.  About a month ago Medford received a nice dusting of 6 inches of white heaven on the ground.  I went to Fred Meyer’s to pick up a prescription and noticed while waiting that House M.D. was on sale so I picked up Season 2.  

Then Denise bought Season 3 about a week (you read that right) later and then we were done with that and not sure what to do.  Do we talk?  Go on a walk?  NO.  We go and try to find another TV show to watch.  Lost grabbed her eye at the local Blockbustorium and I decided to give it another try.  Wow, I am so glad that waited.  It’s so nice to be able to watch an episode (or two) and then think “Hey, I get to do this again tomorrow NIGHT!”  No waiting a week to find out what Jack does to Ben while he is on the table.  No wondering if Syid is going to torture Sawyer just for the hell of it.  Hell, I didn’t even have to wait a full 2 seasons to find out if Shannon get’s a “cap in her ass (belly)”.  Seriously, if any of you watch the show you know what I mean.  Man was she annoying.  And to be completely honest….Boone was right.  She was useless.  She couldn’t even watch the damn dog without it runnin’ off to find food.  She just sat and waited for everything.  If I was on that island I would have totally……nevermind.

So that’s it.  That is the main point.  I love watching shows without commercials, worrying about having to go #2 during the middle and of course I can pause if I need to.  That is how I watched The Sopranos.  I highly suggest that show.  But if you are gonna watch it, watch about one season every two weeks.  Space the show out cause DAMN it’s good!

Oh, and keep the names for the sites coming in.  Chase, is in the lead with a GOOD ONE!  

To you,

I am sorry for tonight.  I didn’t expect the evening to go that long.  If I could do it over I would not have even gone.  I know you and I will be fine but I am sorry for this.
