Where to start...where to start...so much to cover so little time...

Of course I don't want to make this like 5 miles long and you all stop reading. I will just pick some topics, and you guys can read what you want to read.

iPhone - I was still using my first generation iPhone and I was ok with that. It had reached its 2 year birthday and I finally decided to upgrade. I went ahead and got the 3GS, I am loving it. I have more room so I have been downloading some new apps from the App Store.

Beer prices - As is about par for the course this time of year, beer took its annual price increase. So far I haven't had too many people complain, but we are only 2 days into it.

Work - The local college and high school both have Homecoming on the same weekend (Oct. 16 & 17). That is going to be one long weekend for sure.

TV - I finally got caught up with NCIS before the premier so I was very happy about that and I am totally stoked about the season so far. NCIS: Los Angeles, that one is kinda iffy with me at this point. I was not at all impressed with the series opener. The second episode was better than the first, maybe tonight will be even better yet. I don't know but it just seems like the cast isn't clicking well at all. I'm still holding out hope though.

Kids - My daughter turned 5 in the middle of September, she is rotten to the core I tell ya. She has started baton/poms/dance. She is such a girl, I honestly think she can't be mine. Blake is totally into his xbox 360, he loves it and we have to keep him away from certain games that aren't really his caliber. He is wanting to do some sort of sport, however our options are limited here so it is a chore to get something lined out.

Books - Patricia Cornwell has a new book coming out, due to ship middle of October I think. I have it pre-ordered, however I need to get started on Scarpetta before I can touch that one. I am kinda hung up on a book about Serial Killers at the moment. Puts me right to sleep and I sleep like a baby!!

Ok, well I think I have babbled on long enough this time. Hope you all enjoyed the read. Until next time...

Later Taters!!

Yeah, so this is way late since my Tv.com Birthday was on July 19 and clearly it is August 6...what gives? Well you see the site was having "blog issues" so I decided to wait it out to post. I wasn’t sure if everything was going to stay or what...so I chickened out and took the easy road. So anyway...shall we move along...?

Let’s see...oh ok NCIS...I am in Season 6 right now...and I am trying to catch up and see the finale before the new season starts. Since I am a late bloomer to the NCIS thing. I am actually looking forward to the new season to start on September 22. As a mention, I am not sure about my feelings about Director Vance...and I have some questions about this whole Agent Lee situation...maybe those answers are coming as the season goes on.

Registered my kids for school yesterday, school starts here on August 17th. I am past ready...they on the other hand are not so excited about. Weird how that works, eh?

Ummmmmmmmmm, wow...sorry this is so boring but I really have limited crap to talk about. I have an iPhone and I am waiting for Cingular (AT&T) to support the next picture text that is now available with the 3GS. I still have the first generation of the iPhone but I have the new 3.0 OS that was recently introduced. I despise the plastic backs that the 3G and the 3GS have...but I am thinking I am going to have to make the leap and upgrade because my first generation phone is starting to have some issues. This makes me a sad kid.

Well I guess this about sums up what I have going on...a whole lot of nothing. I will blog again soon.

Later Taters!!

Wow...

Yep that one word about sums it up for me for this week. Hollywood is on the Grim Reeper's hit list and he is plucking them off one at a time. One blow after another to the heavy hitters of Hollywood has to be making fellow hollywoodites wonder who is next. We all know we live, we pay taxes and we die...but holy cow this is getting kinda out of control. Let's recap...

Ed McMahon - March 6, 1923 - June 23, 2009
Farrah Fawcett - February 2, 1947 - June 25, 2009
Michael Jackson - August 29, 1958 - June 25, 2009
Gale Storm - April 5, 1922 - June 27, 2009
Billy Mays - July 20, 1958 - June 28, 2009

The tragedy this week is in mass proportions, one shock after another. I guess I am the typical nosey person, waiting for cause of death in Michael Jackson and Billy Mays. Each of these people was known world wide for one thing or another. Their deaths are affecting millions across the globe. Be sure to check out Tv.com's Michael Jackson tribute. Say what you will about the man, but he was amazing at what he did.

Ya know, I could come up with something else to talk about, however it doesn't seem right. For the people who have passed their families are left with grief and sadness for their loved ones. Not only are we as a world mourning the loss of these people, they left behind children and families. My thoughts go to them at this time.

For the rest of us non-famous people that have lost loved ones, my thoughts are with you. While our pain and grief is not all over the news, it hurts us...the family, just the same. With that being said, this year has pretty much blown so far, hopefully it will make a change for the better soon.

Edit - While typing this up preliminary cause of death for Billy Mays is heart disease. Still waiting final cause of death pending toxicology.
