Bedtime Stories

Greetings My Friends,

It’s time for another sporadic edition of the once-regular ‘Bedtime Stories’ – sponsored by the all-new 1964 Volkswagon Station Wagon. Be sure to check out this sparkling beauty at a VW dealership near you. It’s got at least 21 windows !

I’m currently watching “Big Brother 10” on CBS-TV. I was about 15 seconds into this episode when I realized that I never saw Wednesday night’s pivotal eviction episode. I’ve got it on DVD, but now I know who got evicted from the house (and deservedly so after his unusual potty-mouth rant).

Coming up at 9 PM it’s another all-new episode of the “Ice Road Truckers” on History. I’ve seen every single episode of both seasons of this saga, and I admit – I’m totally addicted to the bonechilling Arctic action !

Later on tonight at 10 PM it’s another fresh new edition of the train wreck reality series known as “The Two Coreys” on A&E. Goodness Gracious !  Did I just admit to the entire world that I actually watch that diatribe ?

After that I’m going to bed where I’ll have another intimate conversation with God. There’s a few things that are on my mind that I wish to share with Him. He already knows about them. He’s just waiting for me to formally present them to Him. I’ll always do what He says is the right thing to do on His fantastic journey. I’ll always follow His lead !

And so Ela (and everyone else) there you have your ‘Bedtime Stories’ for this Sunday night the 27TH of July 2008. May each and every one of you have a safe and peaceful night with your loved ones. Thank You so much for blogging with me this past week, and I hope to see you back on here during this upcoming week.

Good Night Everyone !  Good Night Anne J. !  Good Night Ol’ Atom Splitter !

Oh Yeah – I almost forgot – REMEMBER THIS !

Blatant Promotion

Do you smell that ?  It’s the smell of your hard drive burning !  The most destructive virus ever created by mankind has infected your system, and it’s literally burning a physical hole right through the middle of your hard drive.

Read all about it on a SHOCKING ‘Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame’ tomorrow (Thursday) at 5 PM Eastern / 4 PM Central / 11 AM Hawaiian. It’s what everyone will be talking about on Friday morning over at Denny’s in Florida City (where all of the food is).

Don’t forget about the original ‘Friday Night Blogroll Review’ featuring the greatest blog entries of this past week from the greatest bloggers that are near and dear to me. That includes this crazy cat who reminds me of me because when I read his blog it looks just like my blog !  Phil – One Sunday we should really mix it all up by having me guest-write your ‘Talk Soup’ on your blog in your style, and having you guest-write my ‘Tossed Salad’ on my blog in my style. 🙄

OK enough of all of that lunacy. THANK YOU BLOGGERS for blogging on here with me. Even if you don’t have your own blog and you’re just here to read what I have to write then that still makes you a blogger. If you read blogs then you blog. It’s that simple.

So until we blog again – REMEMBER THIS from 40 years ago !

Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts

I know what you want. Here it is:

1.  Tuesday nights have become ‘me’ nights at home. On Mondays I’m typically away from home for 13+ hours with work and the weekly staff meeting at Life Pointe Church. On Wednesdays I only have about 3 hours at home after work and before Life Group. But Tuesdays when I get home I stay home and catch up with stuff. It’s my ‘fun’ day – my ‘I don’t have to run’ day !

2.  TODAY I extended my ‘fun’ day by 4 hours and worked just a half a day. I went to Target for the first time since perhaps last December, and I went on a 90-minute shopping spree. Actually for the amount of time that I was scouring that store I didn’t really buy too many items (17). I could have really gone wild and bought 35 items !

3.  Standing right behind me at the same checkout counter at Target ? – This fellow LPC Blogger Extraordinare.

4.  If we had a Target that was closer to home then I’d probably shop there at least once every couple of weeks or so instead of once or twice a year.

5.  Jesse wants to see “Step Brothers” with me.

6.  I’m having a lot of fun and learning a lot too with my fresh new Panasonic DVD Recorder / VCR Combo. I bought it online at circuitcity.com a couple of Saturday nights ago, and FedEx delivered it to me (free of charge) less than two business days later !  I couldn’t believe my four eyes when it arrived that fast !  😯

7.  Since my new DVD recorder has a digital tuner I’m exploring and enjoying crystal clear digital television for the first time ever. I have 90 new digital channels (expanded basic) that I always had but couldn’t access until now. That includes 50 music channels. I dig that !

8.  Last night and this morning I recorded four hours of digital television programming on DVD-RW for the first time ever. I’ve got some tweaks to make to this process. I recorded it all in EP mode (which allows for 8 hours of programming onto a single 4.7 GB DVD). The picture quality suffered a bit. I’ll have to bring it down a notch for my next recordings. I’m learning.

9.  I’ve pushed back the purchase of my fresh new HP Pavilion laptop indefinitely – but not for too long. Once the initial enjoyment value for my DVD Recorder / digital television revolution begins to wind down a bit then it will be time for me to buy my next new toy – the laptop. It should happen sometime in August.

10.  Bright and early this morning I was once again reminded why I rarely go through the drive-thru at the McDonald’s at the Oasis Plaza en el este de Homestead. It’s because the service is subpar. They get confused handling more than one order at a time !  😕

Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts

Are you ready ?  Here’s what I’m talkin’ about !

1.  It’s a cool, dark, and stormy Tuesday afternoon in Homestead. We’re still in a drought if you can believe that. We need a lot more rain than this to get ourselves out of this fine mess !

2.  My brother and his lovely wife got me addicted to the TV show TMZ while I was at their house in Texas. I watch it almost every night now. I never saw a single episode of it before my recent trip to Texas.

3.  I never realized how much I actually like iced coffee … before I started drinking iced coffee !  I’ve made the new Homestead Starbucks a Monday afternoon tradition (right before the weekly Life Pointe Church staff meeting).

4.  Irony ? – A coworker of mine standing barefoot on an old chair on top of a hard floor while updating our building’s safety bulletin board !

5.  Yesterday I picked-up the new premium fish fillet sandwich from Wendy’s, and I brought it back to work. I microwaved it (to get it a little warmer than it was), and it emitted a wonderful smell that attracted a small portion of my coworkers. They adored that smell. It probably smelled better than it tasted. It was a fine sandwich, but I wouldn’t consider it to be ‘premium’. If anything it was perhaps a bit overpriced.

6.  Watch this cool Life Pointe Church promotional video from this past Sunday morning. I’m not in this one. I told Jesse that I wanna be a lovable babyface in his videos rather than a miserable heel. Travis alleges that I have a loyal cult following at the church. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a not so good thing.

7.  Every Sunday morning at Life Pointe Church I manage to get myself in to a whole bunch of pictures, yet they never see the light of day. I challenge you to put those pictures online, or send them to me and I’ll put them on the blog here.

8.  Here’s my brother in a recent text message to me describing what he had to deal with regarding his beloved dog Buddy – ‘… on Saturday he ate grass outside then ate insect killer that I sprayed, then vommitted BRIGHT YELLOW PUKE in A CIRCLE in the living room’.

9.  My 2002 HP Pavilion laptop is dying a slow death. I can see myself buying a brand new one sooner than I thought – like before the Summer is over. I may even donate this old laptop to the church once I buy the new one.

10.  Got ‘Rock Band‘ ?  I’ll be the lead vocalist. I’m good like that !
