Seriously… for some reason today my brain is so horribly scattershot that I’ve been staring at my article entry page for a while and haven’t been able to think of anything to write about. I think it may have to do with the mind numbing task I’ve been doing at work… replacing direct table queries with view based queries. Its a web app, with about 200 pages, and every page uses queries. Ugh.
So, allow me to hit you with some random thoughts…
TV Shows: Its May, which means that just about every show is pulling stunt casting and/or running season finales. I happen to watch alot of TV and my biggest concern is my favorite shows are on either UPN or the WB, neither network will exist in the fall. The CW (the combination of UPN and the WB) will be announcing their line-up on May 18th. Most other networks will be doing so around the same time as its Upfronts week. Veronica Mars and Supernatural had better make the cut and show up in the fall.
Comic Books: I’m really itchin’ for volume 5 of the Walking Dead to come out at the end fo the month…
Books: I actually finished my pirate book and started something else, but I’m too scattered to really review the pirate book. I want to read more undead/zombie books, but I don’t own any.
Houses: Who are the people who are buying these $500k+ homes around Atlanta? and how can I get their jobs? I always thought my salary was fairly decent, but unless these people are really overstretching their budgets and plan on defaulting their loans or flipping their houses for resale, I must be wrong and my pay sucks.
Computer Games: I really need to play more games. I miss it. But new games will require a new PC investment. *sigh* I guess I’ll stick with World of Warcraft, and maybe start playing Puzzle Pirates or something…
… and why is it that the guy at the newsstand laughs at me every time I ask him to sell me a winning lottery ticket?
You should check out Dead in the West by Joe R. Lansdale.
He’s my favorite author. Here is the Amazon link about the book: Book Link
If you want, I’ll even loan you my copy.
I’d love to borrow it, but you might have to come to Tuesday or Thursday trivia in order for that to happen. 🙂
I’ll see Jason Hill this weekend. If I remember I’ll send it with him.
