Short Takes

I don't feel like a long rambling post (and I'm sure you don't want to read it) so here we go (in the tradition of Larry King) with some short takes:

- I like Studio 60, the new Matthew Perry show on NBC. It's funny and witty. I hope it doesn't get cancelled.
- I discovered how "not with it" my wife was when I bought her an iPod for her 40th birthday yesterday and she didn't know what it was.
- I really like the cat we bought for the kids last Christmas. She's just cool and I think she knows it.
- This Summer and Fall have been spectacular here in the upper NW. The leaves are just turning and it smells like Fall. I love this season.
- People who love Halloween are the coolest people. We put 25 pumpkins (some fake) in my yard and my neighbors responded with the Disneyland of Death. I'll try to get some pics up.
- I won't buy a DVD version labelled "unrated". I have enough marketing savy to know that's for f'ing stupid people.
- There's nothing better than discovering a new pizza place you like.
- Someday work will slow down. It probably won't be tomorrow. Or anytime soon.
- The XBox 360 is getting harder to resist. I KNOW I don't video game enough to warrant one, but the announced lineup of games is just awesome. I honestly have no interest in a PS3.
- I wish, just once, someone would buy me an awesome gift that just blew me away. I don't think that has ever happened in my life. It doesn't have to be expensive. It just has to push that button.
- Why does Rachael Ray have a talk show? I mean, why?
- More frequently than not, I'm the oldest person in the room. That saddens me beyond belief.
