January Musings
I had no idea people used YouTube to advertise until my friend George forwarded his advertisement for Team Bias.
I have a self-reflective post and a DarkCon 2007 review floating around in my head which I'll post here eventually.
B & I saw Curse of the Golden Flower on Civil Rights Day. Wow! A definate must see.
It's been raining these past few days. Friday, I arrive at work and one of my coworkers says to me, "I thought you'd take the bus today." I was astounded. After six plus years, you'd think he'd know me better. I love the rain. I always ride to and from work in the rain. And this week's rain has been the best: steady, but not soaking. If I don't have to wear a different set of shoes home than I rode to work, that's excellent in my book.
Admitably, Saturday was a bit painful. I had a blowout in my front tire on the way into work, and with the rain the bike just slid out from under me at the same time. I slid down the asphalt of the street like a slip and slide, and the left side of my neck still hurts. I did laundry yesterday, and the asphalt stains didn't come out, so it looks like I'll have to use bleach.
I've been watching the first episode of The Morning Show with Mike & Juliet. It was decent, for the kind of show it is. I think the friendship between the hosts is more real than between Regis & Kelly, their main competition. As I don't really watch such shows, that'll probably be the last I see of them. However, if you like shuch shows, I encourage you to give them a chance. They do an excellent job, and would definately watch them over Live with Regis & Kelly if given a choice.
Earlier this month I also took the time to listen to the first episode of Ankarlo Mornings. Darrell Ankarlo is a conservative talk show host who actually shows respect to folks on all sides of an issue, something few conservative hosts are capable of. The sad thing is most conservative hosts claim to be Christian, then fail to act like it. Ankarlo actually seems like the real deal. And that's something to appreciate in the media. He's no Pat McMahon or Tony Femino, but he's a good addition to the News 92.3 KTAR schedule. I'll probably listen occassionally over time, even if I won't be a regular listener.
The new Chuy's on Greenway has finally opened. They closed down the one on Bell and have changed that to another kind of bar/restaurant by the same owners. I like the new restaurant, as have my friends and family. I'll try to remember to review it soon.
You Are a Newborn Soul 
On the flip side, you're easy to read and easily influenced by others.
You have a fresh perspective on life, and you can be very creative.
Noconformist and nontraditional, you've never met anyone who's like you.
Inventive and artistic, you like to be a trendsetter.
You have an upbeat spirit and you like almost everything.
You make friends easily and often have long standing friendships.
Implusive and trusting, you fall in love a little too easily.
Souls you are most compatible with: Bright Star Soul and Dreaming Soul"The value of a man resides in what he gives and not in what he is capable of receiving." ~Albert Einstein

Had a blow out or two in my day as well. I once even slipped in an oil slick. My jeans were covered. I used simple green in the wash to get it out I think.
Ah, Simple Green. That's a great idea. Thanks!
