Gonna board
If you watched 30 Rock this week you saw the cast do a Midnight Train to Georgia musical piece. As funny as all the other bits were (and they were) I enjoyed the musical the most. But, as it is well documented, I love musicals. More on that in a second. The piece made me wonder if Kenneth was always from Georgia, if...

Gotta Keep 'Em Separated
So yesterday I drove to Milwaukee then back to Niles then to Chicago and back to Des Plaines. I'm headed out to Milwaukee again in about 2 hours to do a 1 am cutover.
On my way back last yesterday I stopped at home to drop of perishables (cheese bought at the Mars' Cheese Castle) and checked my email to...

To Scalp or Not to Scalp...
... or Grown Men Shouldn't Play With Dolls.
The Dresden Dolls played Saturday Night at the Vic. No new album but they hadn't been here in a year so it sounded like fun. Pat invited me but didn't buy tickets. We figured at worst we'd scalp a few.
Ah, the best laid plans.
The show was at 7:00 and...

Where's My Spy Camera?
So my camera has been kaput since the work X-Mas Party (December 9th). After trying to get the website to work for the past week, I called the number on the purchase plan pamphlet and was sent a text message trying to get me to sign up for a $10 a month service for I don't even know what for. I...

They don't drink you like I drink you!

Wait! They don't drink you like I drink you.

So I try to read a book (non-comic book) for entertainment every two months. That's six books a year. Many to some, not many to others but there you have it. As of Christmas Eve I had read none. Now I'm up to four.
Granted I had already half read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows when it came out and was half way through...

Back to the Grind
No. Not the MTv dance show. If only! That show was better than porn.
Nah, after my sick leave which coincided with some time I was just taking off, I went back to work today. It was OK. I didn't run screaming from it nor did I fall asleep. Hey, I sit in front of a computer all day -- it...

L'Hopital's Rule
So my sickness came to a head last week and I spent several days in hospital. My hemoglobin levels were 6 out of an average of 12-15 and the doctor was concerned if I could drive to the emergency room. I did _ I was much worse that afternoon. The short of it is I have an ulcer. 3 actually and a hiatal...

"If I ever get diabetes, Mike Lee is the first guy I'm looking for!"
But I'm getting ahead of myself.
I don't think I mentioned it but last week Matt's TV died and he bought a new 52″ dlp. It's big. Though it hasn't gotten me to watch more tv. Or at least to watch tv in the living room. Hermit is as hermit does....

Birthday.
As mentioned last year this is QE2's b'day (along with others like Andie MacDowell and Iggy Popp) as well as my own. Today apparently was Earth Day and the day after pot day. So did I do nothing as I planned? Sorta.
I started the day with typical morning rituals (the less said about some, the better.) Did some dish washing, and headed into...

Hot Fuzz
"It's Miss Marple with a lot more things blowing up."
And it was.
I had passes to see a preview screening of Hot Fuzz. What is Hot Fuzz? Hot Fuzz is the soon to be released film from Edgar Wright (dir.), Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. They did Shaun of the Dead as well as the British TV series Spaced. Oh yeah, they...
