I'd normally post a Free Will Horoscope at this point, but I'm going to forego that decision in favor of some anecdotes instead....

In the spirit of having been to so many concerts lately, we traversed out to the latest soiree which was PRIMUS! I'll agree with what one of my co-workers said, "They've been around FOREVER." Definitely true, and you can tell by how they destroyed the Wiltern. Top to bottom, one of the most energetic shows I've been to in a long time. I was surrounded by sweaty, smelly people, and loved every second of it. Now THAT is the sign of a good time. Get their latest DVD release to see what they're all about.

The basketball season has finally started. I'm following my boys this year with a closely guarded eye. I would like to see them all get along and stop complaining and start playing some basketball. Just win baby.

I'm so wanting to get this game right now too. It's just nostalgia, but at the same time I still remember how fun that game was when I played it back in the day. So long ago, but it's still a classic.

That's all for now, maybe I'll have more to report later on, let's get some consistent posting going on again, shall we?

Finally, a full update with a Free Will Horoscope:

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Do you have affluenza? The PBS TV show Affluenza (pbs.org/kcts/affluenza) defined it as follows: the sluggish, unfulfilled feeling that results from struggling to keep up with the Joneses; the stress, overwork, waste, and indebtedness caused by an addiction to consumer goods. Signs that you suffer from this malady include the following: (1) You'll pay more for a T-shirt if it has a cool corporate logo on it. (2) You're willing to work 40 years at a job you hate so you can accumulate lots of stuff. (3) You believe that if you buy the cocktail dress, the cocktail party will come. If you have even a mild version of affluenza, Virgo, I recommend that you seek a cure. The astrological time is ripe to learn about having fun and living successfully without spending lots of money.

Sure hope you're all out there having more fun than I apparently am, who believes in this stuff anyway?

Lots of companies start small and get HUGE. Dell is no exception. Starting out as an internet-only based distributor of computers, Dell has carved out a niche as a high-quality supplier of PC's. So much so that they figure on branching out into consumer electronics. My hope is that they'll continue to provide top-notch quality for affordable prices. Maybe someday I'll actually be able to afford that 42" High Definition Plasma Flatscreen TV. Go Dell!

Anyone around here listen to Rush Limbaugh? I hope not, and he's given everyone one more reason not to listen.

If any of you like movies, I recommend that you check out Tarantino's new flick that will be hopscotching its way into theaters on the 10th. Specifically, Kill Bill is supposed to be a tour de force homage to all the genre films Tarantino loved while working at a video store. This guy's seen more movies than any living person on earth. I'd imagine he's got so much trivial knowledge stored up, that he literally thinks in scripted format. Freaky. And supposedly quite quite violent too.

I'm going to be trying to cook up new ideas to spice up the blog, and perhaps even try to make it more readable in the days to come. Anyone have any suggestions? Anyone?

Anyone??
