Well, this holiday is not getting off to a good start for Marcus. The T1 went down at work and he's stuck there while the Qwest guy fixes it. Dang it!

On a happier note, isn't it great when you hear a song you like and find out you have it already? I was listening to KBCO a lot lately trying to get Barenaked Ladies tickets. They kept playing a Paul Simon song called "Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes" and I was really digging it. I checked my CD library today and hurrah!, I have it!

Paul Simon: Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes

I was a little bummed about not being able to watch The Office on Thursday. Since NBC did one of those evenings where every show got more than a ½ hour, I only got about 20 minutes of a 45 minute show recorded. I tried to torrent it yesterday, but no luck. Marcus purchased it on iTunes this morning so we could finally get to watch it. It was soooooo funny! I loved the Lazy Scranton bit (you'd have to see it...I'm not explaining it!).

We watched Cars last night. What a great movie! I'll definitely have to get that one. I pulled out the hide-a-bed and we snuggled while watching on the big TV. It was like going to the Drive-in in the comfort of our own living room! Speaking of the drive-in, I loved the ending when the cars are watching the other Pixar movies. Too funny!

OK, enough of sitting in front of this computer.

I have tried to keep an open mind about this season of Gilmore Girls, but after tonight's episode, I am officially pissed! I know they need drama and angst, but I am truly disappointed in what the writers have done with this show. I'll watch to the end, but I am not thrilled. In fact, I almost can't wait for it to be over and done with. I'd rant about what my problems with the plot are, but I don't feel like doing the whole spoiler alert thing right now.

On a happier note, Medium is back on with a two hour premiere tomorrow night. Yay!

I've put in two days of work at the new job. I hope I get to be full time soon! The sooner that happens, the quicker I'll get through 90 days until FULL BENEFITS, paid holidays and all of that other good stuff that comes with working for a decent company! I was a little down this morning. One, because there was nothing to post about from PPP. I really enjoy checking out the sites in the opportunities and then giving my humble opinion. I also really need cash coming in. Two, because of that email I got yesterday about the job. I had really wanted to work there and if I had been hired four months ago when I interviewed, I wouldn't have had this whole unemployment mess. *sigh* Oh, well. I guess I needed the depth to which I sank to teach me some valuable lessons. Finally, three, I need to get more sleep. I can't let myself stay up until midnight hanging out in the PPP forums.

On a totally different note, I'm sure everyone has seen the Pepto Bismol commercial with all the office employees dancing to the song that goes, "Naseau, Heartburn, Indigestion, Upset Stomach, Diahrrea." Well, there's a new one for Pepto MAX that has Paul Bunyon, Godzilla, a Space guy, etc. dancing. Really freaky. I had to stop fast-forwarding and go back to make sure I seen what I had thought I had seen.

Dad and I love going to the drag races at Bandimere Speedway up in Morrison, Colorado. I always get a seat as close to the starting line as possible to can get the full force of the heat, smoke and tire particles. It's crazy the amount of time and money those guys spend just to have the fastest car! Now imagine that you lose a race and you lose your car. That's the premise behind the most-watched weekly series on SPEED television, PINKS.

SPEEDtv is airing an all day marathon of PINKS followed by premiere of PINKS All Out on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday November 23rd. You can also go to SPEEDtv's site and check out the Drag Racing Clips and photos posted there.
