Add another “new” thing to my list of things never before tried: I caught the last half of American Idol tonight. I was waiting for House to start up, really, and had nothing else to do. I can see why people find it addicting, although I don’t think I’ll be volunteering to watch it again…
I’m heading up to NYC in two weeks and I was going to use some of my accumulated Amtrak miles to get a free Acela trip. I have enough miles for that. I saw that a First Class trip on Acela is 10,500 miles. I thought, hey maybe I’ll do that. So I checked my…
Tail end of lunch and I keep hearing things. Sounds like the kind of low volume, tinny sound that an iPod makes when it accidentally turns on in your backpack. Except my iPod is sitting right next to me. And yet, I keep hearing this. Ah–I’ve found out what it is: it’s the hard disk…
Was browsing the latest posts again and I’ve noticed another trend: a lot of people post nothing more than song lyrics. Why is that? Don’t people have anything original to say? Posting song lyrics, to me, is like buying a Hallmark card; a canned way of saying something you can’t think of stating originally yourself.…
I picked up Magnum P.I. Season Three today at Best Buy. It was on sale and I thought I’d go home and just relax this evening, and perhaps, fall asleep watching a good old show. (After all, if I fell asleep earlier today listening to Metallica, then this should be like a lullaby). I really…
I think I mentioned earlier that I woke up feeling pretty sleepy. I didn’t get to take my usual nap at work today either. So today, for the first time since November, I did not read on the train home. I decided to listen to my iPod instead. Specifically, I decided to listen to some…
Normally, I nap for the second half of lunch, but not today, which is strange since I had trouble falling asleep last night (because of the time change, I suppose). When I woke up this morning, my first thought was: You’ve gotta be kidding me! But up I got, and into work, and I noticed…
The last week or so, I’ve been stuck singing the same set of songs in the shower (I am an inveterate shower-singer). They are fun songs, and for some reason, I just keep singing them over and over. I did it while at the hotel in L.A. and again this evening after working out. Since…
I was up at 5:30 AM Pacific Time and slept fitfully thereafter until 6:30 AM. There was a small problem with the hotel bill (they charged me to a day of parking and I don’t even have a car) but it was corrected quickly. I grabbed a taxi to the airport and was at the…
For the last week or so, my upper-left gum, at the very back has been sore. I think it’s because my wisdom tooth up there has grown out some more, or something. It’s been bugging me on and off. It’s not so bad today. It’s worse when I chew. I have never had to have…
