9:00 PM

Just some randoms tonight as it's a Sunday night and I'm sitting at the computer desk with my right foot taped up. About four hours after my last blog the phone rang and I smashed my foot into the door, breaking at least one of my toes in the process. Didn't go to the doctor and it took me half the week to listen to the advice of those wiser than me and tape it up.

The computer is doing okay. Had some driver issues with my graphics card. I ended up completely uninstalling them today and reinstalling them. Things seem to be running better. I mean I can do the Maxx Payne tutorial level without crashing, which I was previously unable to do. Going to try Everquest later to see if the problems I was having are fixed.

Right now I'm watching TechTV's best of CES. Good to see Robyn Huggiebear on the air again. Weird to see her civilian military gear, err TechTV CES uniform, and not all dressed up for the now dearly departed interact desk.

I had Fox's new gameshow, "the Chamber" on earlier. I turned it off after a couple of minutes. If I wanted to see people being tortured while answering asinine questions I'd go back to Jr. High School. It was the lamest thing Fox has ever presented. Even worse than Boot Camp or Temptation Island 2 or X-Files with Mulder.

I'm also spending time defragging my d: drive. I was getting buffer underrun errors when I ran my cd-rw earlier so it said to try to defrag my hard drives as part of the solution. So, of course, I lost my mind and decided to defrag the bigger of the two hard drives. Of course all my html and work files are stored on that drive so lol I'm sitting here trying to figure out what else I can do without interrupting it for the rest of the night.

Found an internet radio station from Chicago to listen to while I'm flipping channels now. The best of CES led to Cybercrime and there's nothing that gets me to flip the channel away from TechTV faster than Cybercrime. I mean even if Jennifer London is a living Barbie Doll, it can't salvage that show. It's lame beyond compare and the segments are even lamer. I saw something on Laughing Gas and wished that she and Alex Wellen had outtakes getting high on the stuff so they'd come off as HUMAN for once.

Currently thinking of getting back into tae-bo once my foot is healed. The Screen Savers reminds me every night about how much weight can be gained during the holidays. I mean seriously, even MARTIN gained a ton of weight this year. I'm begining to miss Jessica more and more. I mean, thinking about it, she was the only normal person on the show. Each night it's been getting worse. Between everyone turning into nerds and all the weight gain the show has gone from THE Techie show on the air to what looks like a reject from some sort of obsurce Russian public access channel. Or better, they're turning into a living version of the muppett show. Leo is, of course, Ms. Piggy. Fill in the rest of the characters yourself.

Have the TV on E!'s "E true hollywood story" of Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Going to flip to cheers at 10. I love Cheers. While the ones with Diane were good, the show really got funny once she left. They were able to explore the characters outside of the Sam/Diane romance and expand the scope of their universe a bit more without the ever present story limiting things.

On that note, take care.
