what a gawd-awful game.  7-3 going into the 4th quarter?  are you kidding me?  at least there was some scoring in the 4th to make it a game, but too bad it was another fucking manning that won.  too bad the pats will be remembered for losing to the giants, and not starting out 18-0.  [...]

well here it is.  the biggest day of television and gluttony on the north american continent.  it just started.  i’m pulling for the new england patriots to win it b/c i want to see them go 19-0 (only 2nd perfect season in nfl history) and i don’t like eli manning b/c he’s a whiny bitch, [...]

So I just got my new toy tonight.  A 1080p up-converting DVD player.  I was thinking of picking up an HD-DVD player, but the cheap one (ie. $300) only does up to 1080i.  And I can’t settle for that shit.  :)  So I picked this up online for the low-low price of $230.  Pricey, but [...]

So I just got off the phone with Westinghouse, the manufacturers of my tv, to see what the deal was with it and how I could get it serviced and/or replaced.  The customer service rep told me to try unplugging it for 30 seconds and plugging it back in.  I did so, and voila! it [...]

bj and dave basking in the glory of the screen.  right before this game dave told bj “i wouldn’t be surprised if i slaughtered you.”  it was hilarious.

well, it’s been a lazy day…. it started raining pretty good on thursday and i haven’t worked since b/c it’s been so wet, so that kind of sucks.  i’ve been back at work for 3 weeks, but only have one full week in so far b/c of the weather.  the first week i worked we [...]

what a bunch of useless assholes.  “murder simulators” and “trainers”.  what a fucking joke.

turns out i’m a giant douchebag.  brought the tv in this afternoon, buddy looked at it, said the stuff was missing.  they started doing all the transactions to get this one returned, then order a new one to sell to me, and then set up home delivery.  then my friend alex says, “are you sure [...]

so i’m sitting here this morning setting up my tv.  i install the wall mount, open up the box and start setting up the mount part that goes on the back… only to find out that there’s no manual, remote, or power cord.  the bastards sold me an open box for full-retail price without the [...]
