Ok. Things don’t look as bad as they did, but they aren’t back to normal yet.
Still working on it.

I had to go and mess with things and now my blog looks like doo doo.
I’m sorry.
I tried to update the look of the blog and entered into a world of pain. I am going to take advantage of this state of ugliness to upgrade to the newest version of wordpress. Hopefully when the look of the blog returns to normal, it will have better features and will be slightly snazzier. Although, at this point I would be happy to just get it back to the way it was.
At this rate though, where I post to the blog every 3 months or so, it doesn’t really matter what it looks like.

The Mrs. and I watched a movie by that name the other night. I don’t recommend it. It got all these great reviews, but I can’t see why. How can I go wrong with a western set in Australia? I aksed myself. “The Proposition” was my answer.
This proposition is way better though, and if I had a Playstation 3 I would agree in a heartbeat. Taco Bell is offering $12,000 in Taco Bell Bucks to the first person willing to give up their new PS3 to the Boys and Girls Club. As the article points out, this is enough Taco Bell Bucks to get a taco every day for the next 54 years. I’m not sure how long it would last me though. My favorite food is tacos.
It is probably for the best that I don’t have a PS3 to trade in. I don’t remember learning any rhymes about health that started with “A taco a day”. If there was a saying like that it would probably end with “means you’ll need a bidet” or some other reference to the digestive process.
I went grocery shopping this morning, and as I was leaving the store I noticed a new fixture near the entrance. The redbox dvd-rental kiosk. So I took a look at it and was amazed. All you have to do is enter your email address and swipe your credit/debit card, and you get to rent a dvd for $1 a night. No late fees, every night you keep the dvd, you get charged another buck. So if you just watch the movie on the night you rent it, you don’t have to pay for the rest of the rental period like you would at a Blockbuster or Hollywood Video. I don’t think that I have seen a deal this good before on movie rentals.
I may have been a little over-excited by the fact that the whole process was automated. I think that if there was a sales clerk involved in the process I would have been more skeptical. Is it wrong of me to be so trusting of machines, since a robot war could be coming some time in the future? It took about 2 minutes for me to commit to the rental upon seeing the redbox kiosk. I ended up renting a title that wasn’t in stock last night at the Hollywood Video. When it comes time to return it, all I have to do is stick the dvd back in the slot that it came out of.
Thank you, red dvd-renting box. I am glad to know you.
Calvin and Hobbes used to be my favorite comic strip. Not that it isn’t anymore, I just don’t think that I have a favorite comic strip anymore since I don’t read the comics. I just go straight to the “News” section.
Uh oh, I just checked and it looks like there isn’t a “News” section in the newspaper, it turns out the whole thing is news, except for the comics.
Ok fine, I don’t read the newspaper. But I don’t have to now that the comics are on the internet. Anyway, I don’t know if this is all of the snowman strips that they did, but it is a lot of them, and they are funny.
