Another Record Day

Today we set an all time heat record. The high today was 91 degrees. I hope this does not indicate a long HOT summer.

Sick As A Dog

My father is sick as a dog. He has strained his back and pulled the muscles in his torso. He planted nine big paradise plants, He carried nine forty pound bags of fertilizer. He has been in pain and having chills since Saturday. He claims he feels better and is moving around more.
I hope he learns from this but I doubt he will.

Hummmmmmmm

Today Saturday February 23 is my birthday.
Happy Birthday!

So much for that new car smell.

Just A Thought

If the writers where really on strike wouldn't their protests signs be blank?

Writers Guild Strike Over

The Writers Guild Strike is over. It cost the entertainment industry an estimated $500 million. The strike that started November 5th 2007 dragged on for three months.
However don't hope to see new shows real soon. The scripts have to be written, approved, shredded by lawyers, re written, re approved, and re argued over. You can also expect a lot of hold ups from actor, director, and other who now want more money.
The Writers Guild states that 48 percent of their west coast union is unemployed. I say maybe they should look at the crap that is broadcast now and it would be easy to see why.

Looking Up

The weather man say it will be in the fifties Saturday. I cant wait.
My father sees an eye doctor today.
Hopefully he will get good news.
My new feathered neighbor has been dancing all day. He even got a piece of a doughnut. He loves doughnuts. A bird of great taste.

Thunder and Lighting

A cold front is moving through the area. There is a lot of thunder and some lighting but very little rain.
It is cooling off some. Our winter is almost over entirely.
Football season is done and I miss it.
My birthday will be next week. I got a coupon for two dollars off the comic book of my choice from a local comic book store.
I may get a new cell phone for my birthday.

Bad Foot

I think I may have re injured my foot. I accidentally put all my body weight on my bad foot. I almost fell into the bathtub.
My foot really hurts but it has hurt even worse.

I will survive.

Birds

We went grocery shopping and annoyed a very busy bird. He was eating popcorn in the parking lot and he had to move aside while we went by. He was literally hopping mad. He followed me to the front door of the store screeching and fuming giving a if looks could kill look.

I drop a few pieces of my popcorn to make up for driving over his.

I have no idea what I want for my birthday and this is annoying some people.

Thats life.

Ashes To Ashes

Today is ash Wednesday. A sure sing that Easter is soon to be here.
My birthday will be in a few weeks. Time flies when your busy.
As John Lennon said "Life is what happens while your busy making other plans."

Blood

I had my blood work today. The lady was so fast that she had me ready to leave before the paper work done.
I went to the local grocery store and ran into an old friend I had not seen in years. He looked good. He busy working in the movie business.

This my new neighbor. Boy does he love to dance.

Alice Mayor Is In Deep Shih Tzu

Alice Mayor Grace Saenz-Lopez has resigned her position.
Mayor Lopez was asked by neighbors to look after a dog named Puddles. The Major took in the pooch but has refused to return it to the owners. She even told the owners the dog had died while they where away. Now that that all this has caught the attention of the national media a petition has be circulated calling for her dismissal. There has also be a vote by Alice city council of no confidence.

GTA IV

The release date for the long awaited Grand Theft Auto IV.
The second announced release date is April 29 2008.
The game is full of promise and the pressure is on the games creators. After the release date being pushed back and the talk of all the improvements this game better be a blockbuster. The makers of this game have a great deal on the line.

Happy Birthday Dick and Nudelaftwaffe

Today was Dick Cheney's birthday.
There was a twenty one gun salute after which twenty one lawyers where rush to the hospital with gun shot wounds to the face. They all survived... unfortunately.

Germany has announced a nude airline.
No really !
More here.

Record High Temperature Set Today

Today we set a record high temperature of 86 degrees.
The previous record was set in 2006 at 85 degrees.

We are expecting a mild cold front Thursday.

50 Years Ago Today

Today marks the fiftieth anniversary of the greatest toy in the world the LEGO.
LEGO means roughly "Play Well."
LEGO's are one if not my favorite toy ever. You can build all kinds off things with LEGOs.
Happy Birthday LEGOs.

Yummy

Today I had some extremly good corn.
It was hot and yellow.
I love corn that is not overly sweet. It had a rich taste to it.

Too Much Too Late

There is a new map pack for the XBox 360 game John Woo Presents Stranglehold.
The map pack costs $15.00 and gives you ten new maps and twenty one new characters for online play only. You can also unlock 250 Gamerscore points.

Unfortunately hardly anyone plays this game anymore and the price is so high.

Free Game From Microsoft

In a letter from Marc Whitten The General Manager of Microsoft X Box Live that cane be found here.

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/live/serviceissue.htm

Microsoft has announced the will be for a limited time will be giving away free copies of the XBox Live Arcade game Undertow.

This is there way of apologizing for the extremely poor performance of Live over the holidays.

There is no mention of what happens if you have already paid for Undertow.

Once again Microsoft as a clear view of the problem and still fails to deal with it properly.
