Marcus and I were watching CSI: Miami tonight and in response to something he said, I went, "Yip, Yip, Yip, Yip." It sounded darned familiar and then it dawned on me: It was those silly aliens from Sesame Street. Isn't amazing how these things stick in your memory?



Speaking of television, I watched the premiere of The Class. Man, that show was dumb and I'll never waste precious time on that thing again. I didn't know the premise of the show before I watched. A guy wants to surprise his girlfriend on the 20th anniversary of their meeting (first day of 3rd grade) by having a party reuniting people from that class, even though none of them have ever kept in touch. LAME! Yeah, don't see this series running long term. I also can't believe The New Adventures of Old Christine is back. I recorded The Megan Mullaley show this afternoon. Not going to watch that again, either. Not entertaining at all. When in the hell does Medium come back?

Damn, this is becoming the dreaded Blog of Woe® again. I am so freaking down right now. I'm sick. I'm coughing . My throat hurts. I can't see well and have been getting terrible eye strain headaches since my glasses broke. I haven't had sex since March because I don't have the money to get my annual exam and pills and since I'm allergic to both spermicides and latex, that avenue is out. Not running the risk of conceiving a kid I don't want. I really don't want to go to this lame little contract job tomorrow. My despair and lack of cash is starting to wear on Marcus, as well. He won't admit it, but I can tell. I never heard back from the agency I contacted the other day about my depression. It's a good thing I'm not suicidal. I'll have to find another one, I guess. Story of my life, eh?

The good news is that we can probably find space for everything that we want to keep from storage. We still throw stuff away everytime we go over there. I haven't used anything from over there except the Christmas stuff since we moved here four years ago. There is a huge majority of stuff that hasn't been used since we moved out to Byers seven years ago. I'm glad I'm losing my attachment to all that junk. Who cares that I was voted most impoved sophomore at the music banquet back in 1982? If I don't, I seriously doubt that anybody else on this planet cares.

It struck me that I've really become detached from my past life. Things that used to be so important to me seem like they happened to someone else. It's sad. I wondered today if it is a side effect or coping mechanism I've developed because of the depression. Except for an occassional phone call with my one friend from college, I don't have any ties to anybody from the time I was born until I I met Dave, Mike and Marcus (except for my dad, that is). How weird and wrong is that? I'm pretty sure that I would've lost contact with Mike and Dave by now if they weren't friends of Marcus. I don't know why I can't/won't build lasting relationships with people.

Well, at least the Broncos won today. Yay, Elam!

My beloved Denver Broncos are taking on the Kansas City Chiefs today at 2:15 pm MDT. I hope they don't suffer another embarrassing loss like the one last week to the St. Louis Rams. I miss the days of John Elway and our Superbowl runs. While I have one of the blue Elways jerseys, I never did own an orange one—a fact that I regret. I never bought myself an Ed McCaffrey jersey, either. Darn it!

There's a site that sells throwback jerseys where I can acquire an orange John Elway jersey. As my Broncos wardrobe has been seriously lacking (I only own one shirt), I found many shirts I would like in their Denver Bronco Fan Shop.

Since they also sell authentic replica NFL Football Jerseys, football hats and other various types of merchandise for all the current teams, there's bound to be something for any football fanatic on your holiday shopping list.

As much as I like the little favicons showing in my linklist (EE module written by Yoshi), I had to dump them. I'm tired of my page taking forever to finish loading if anyone's server in my list happens to be down. As I have no desire to save them locally on my own server, I'll have to do without. There is also some other errant code in my template from things I've put in there and then taken out and left straggling code behind. If (when!) I get my new design finished, I'll fix my code. I've never really coded my archives template, I realized. How long have I had this design? Geez. I've never done my about page. I've been such a slacker.

Back on March 22 of this year, Denver had a new radio station come in existance, KTNI 101.5 FM. They call themselves "Martini on the Rockies". I generally like the mix of music they're trying to make. They play Brian Setzer Orchestra, Harry Connick, Jr., Frank Sinatra, Norah Jones, etc. Their playlist is not huge; in fact, I have to switch away sometimes because I get a little sick of hearing the same stuff over and over. But hey, that's true of just about every station in the radio market these days. I'm not sure where they broadcast from (the commercial on air says Stasburg?), but the signal can get weak in various parts of Denver. Anywho, they play this one song that I really like called "The Dog Song" by Nellie McKay (lyrics in the extended). I was lamenting that I hadn't won a Blingo iTunes gift certificate in quite awhile and was sad that I couldn't download that song. Well, in today's mail came an iTunes gift card for my birthday from my friend Chrissy! Thanks, woman! So, I got it. Yay!!

Wait—here’s more »
