DVRs… Really? You don’t have one?

FIOS’s DVR, Comcast’s DVR, DirecTV’s DVR, Media Center, Tivo… I don’t care which one you use, just use one! Someone at work was talking about Heroes and House, both TV shows I watch by the way. I jokingly say don’t ruin it for me, and they joking say back, we all can’t have DVRs!

Yes we can!!! DVRs are crazy cheap now. I don’t see how people get on without them. I think one comment was I don’t watch that much TV. Tell me about it. I don’t either. I usually have to wait until the weekends before I have enough time to watch TV. That’s why I have a DVR. So I can set the schedule!


If you think you don’t watch enough TV to get a DVR. That is exactly why you need one. So you can watch when you have time. Go get one already!

    They really are good. Sometime we wait several weeks before we get to our favorite shows.. Which sometimes is better. We get to see them all at once! Plus this way, we never miss Lost.

You’re from that place where that guy got a mop handle in the butt.

uh… Yes. I don’t want to put my spin on it.. Here it is from ESPN . Sunnyside H.S. (Wash.) Wrestling In the school's wrestling room, a 15-year-old boy was allegedly sodomized with a mop handle while teammates held him down and dozens of other wrestlers watched. The attack sent the boy, bleeding and traumatized, to the hospital for a week. He suffered  internal injuries. Richard Melendrez, 18, pleaded guilty to second-degree reckless endangerment and was given 60 days in a work-release program. Second-degree rape charges that were pending against three others in juvenile court were reduced to fourth-degree assault. It must have been in the air. From the same year, same article: Johnson Creek H.S. (Wisc.) Wrestling Wrestlers admitted taping a teammate but denied sodomizing him with a mop handle, as the victim claimed. Four juveniles settled their cases out of court and two were acquitted. So back in the day this was big. Google “ Mop Handle

My new sax partner (Part 2)

Image
(Part one is here ) For those of you still with me.. Here are the details. Playing low notes are a bit hard. They do offer a low note enhancer that ships with the kit. Please note this is for the saxophone. Here is the support for the bell. It does not hold the neck of my sax very well. In order to get the support in without hitting my keys, I had to put it where only one row of the pegs are inserted. This doesn’t provide much stability, but does work. The bell support reaches in and pushes the low B key open. That makes for some interesting sounding notes. Now the whole sax seems to need be shifter higher than the case was designed for because of the shape of the neck. This creates another issue. The padding from the top will actually catch the octave key, and hold it open. There is one last issue with it. Looking at the picture above, the side keys are slightly higher than the hand hole allows access to. This means that some fingerings will not be accessible through t

Venus De Milo’s Butt

You’ve already seen the front. We took a day trip to France. While we were there, we went to the Louvre. It was the express version. The Louvre is an eyesore. They took this perfectly good palace, and built a hideous pyramid. I guess it’s supposed to be futuristic, but it’s just plain ugly. On a good note, you can mostly see through it, and see the beautiful palace that’s behind it. While we were in Paris, we did the typical touristy things you’d do in Paris. We saw Notre Dame, Eifel Tower, Louvre, and the Arch de Triumph. When we took a cab to the Arch, I think I offended the cab driver by pronouncing “Triumph” in American English. He  kept saying what? When I pulled out my handy Rick Steve’s London guide (using the day trip to Paris section) and pointed to the name.. He kindly said, “it iz called ark dee tree-omph”. I responded… Yes, that’s where we’re going. It was a beautiful church and you can’t help get a feeling of awe. They also have the Magna Carta there. You can’t take
