Oldies: Sunday, September 21 - Saturday, September 27, 2003...

Saturday, 27 September 2003: Well the office is finally done. We have been working to rearrange things a bit. We sold the old computer table and got Katie's old desk that she had inherited from, I believe, her grandma. It looks much nicer and we now have drawer space. Also, we framed and hung some pencil drawings of various players from the 1960 World Champion Pittsburgh Pirates as well as a team photo that I was given by my parents. This further solidifies the room as the "sports memorabilia" room. They look really nice despite the frames costing only about $5 each (with a coupon on top of that). We've been wanting to frame these prints for a while and we finally found inexpensive frames that don't look too cheap.

Now if I would just make the time to put a couple of storage containers in our attic, things would be perfect in there.

Friday, 26 September 2003: Does God hate me? If not (as I'm sure any churchgoer reading this site right now is saying), then why does He spite me by making me repeatedly bite the same spot on my lip? Why, after accidentally biting your lip or your tongue or whatever, do we as humans seem predestined to continually bite that same spot over and over again when there are plenty of other bite-worthy spots in our mouths? Why God? Why? My mouth just won't heal. I think this spot has now been bitten about six times in two days.

Wednesday, 24 September 2003: I love when this happens. My coworker Eric and I decided to use our lunch break to drive up to Best Lie (er... Best Buy) and see what we could see. Well, lately, I've been having a craving to listen to some White Zombie and Rob Zombie music because I thought it would make the ideal workout music. However, all the songs I like by him are spread out over three or four studio albums and two soundtracks. I didn't want to spend that kind of money. So I mentioned to Eric on the drive up that I would love it if they came out with a Rob/White Zombie greatest hits album. As we walked toward the CD department, lo and behold, on the new releases rack is Rob Zombie's "Past, Present & Future" -- his greatest hits. How fortuitous (yes, I can say big words). I swear I had no idea this CD was coming out. And this is not the first time this has happened to me. I did this with the Scorpions a couple of years ago before they released their latest greatest hits that included their "Crazy World" tracks. And I did it with one other band, but I can't remember who it was. So damn funny how that works out.

If you like Zombie music, check it out. This set comes with a DVD of all his videos as well. The insert book is the best part, though, with a year-by-year photo montage of the progression of Rob's look... or "digression" as it were. There are points in the timeline where he looks like Slash from Guns n' Roses, Al Jourgenson from Ministry, and even Charles Manson as he currently looks in prison. Creepy stuff.

The only thing that would have made this disc better would be if it had "Scum of the Earth" from the Mission: Impossible 2 soundtrack. Oh, well. You can't always get everything you want, eh?

Monday, 22 September 2003: Today marks the official start of the fall television season and I've gotta admit that I'm not particularly looking forward to it. At least not like I have in the past. There's a ton I want to watch, but I'm going to have to tape most of them because of my night job and the fact that Katie is not around during the primetime shows on Monday through Thursday due to either work or class. Talk about playing catch up on the weekends. I'll bet you see us dumping a bunch of the shows we normally watch simply because we can't find the time. Wouldn't surprise me and it would help save our sanity somewhat. That much is for sure.

Well, here goes...

Sunday, 21 September 2003: I've decided that since I've been reading some pretty intense books lately (Wounded and Witch Ember primariy), I'm going to take a break and read something a bit lighter. So I'm going with a kid's book (well, actually, this is more of a young adult's book since it's actually a novel and not a picture-enhanced book). Specifically, Holes by Louis Sachar which was the basis for a movie earlier in the summer by Disney. What the heck, right? Gotta throw in some interesting stuff every once in a while. And, who knows, maybe I'll actually get around to writing a review of Jerry Seinfeld's Halloween book. It's that time of season and it was actually a decent children's book. Could add a bit of spice to the site, don't you think? I should also review Where the Wild Things Are since I did read it recently. Oh, the possibilities.
