For the Love of the Game

Filed under: Uncategorized

That was a decent movie from back in the day.  But I would like to take this opportunity to complain about the horrible umpire calling during the AL Playoffs. The Umpires are making horrible calls that always go in favor of the Yankees.

We could use some better umpires. And this is a great case for why we need replay’s in MLB.

Monday, Monday

Filed under: Uncategorized

Normally I’m not one to complain about Monday’s. But today was rough. Tired all day. Work dragged on. The Monday sleep schedule isn’t so great. Oh well.

Life is good here in Wells. I’m looking for some grants to help with a few projects I’ve got cooking. I’m staying busy with the P&Z aspect of my job. It’s really interesting. It keeps me busy, which is also good.

I had a meeting tonight I almost forgot about. I need a good solution to sync my work outlook with Google. The Google solution only syncs to your main G-Calendar, which isn’t a solution.

But now I think it’s time to get ready for bed so I can hit the sack after Big Bang Theory tonight.

What happened to fall?

Filed under: Uncategorized

I’m not sure where the season that was once called fall went to, but I think we missed it.  Darn global warming, or whatever they call it these days.  A lot of the leaves are off the trees and they are still green. It’s slightly sad.

I’m not a fan of the snow that we got yesterday. It was kind of fun, but it is just too early. And there’s too much snow coming our way tomorrow. It could make the drive interesting. I’ll probably get up a little early and give myself some extra time, just in case.

On the plus side I got some good exercise while raking today! And even climbed up on the roof and cleaned out the chimney today. We have a nice fire blazing in the fireplace right now. I’ll miss the fireplace.  It’s really nice!

And the pumpkin bread that Beth made is done! It’s delicious. Time to eat another slice and have some hot cocoa while we sit in front of the fire.

The Office

Filed under: Uncategorized

It’s Thursday night and I’m looking forward to The Office tonight.  It’s quite possibly my favorite show on TV right now, along with How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory.  It’s just a good show all the way around.

So I saw on my facebook news feed today that Pam had posted a new video blog on their wedding site: www.halpertbeesly.com It was a good clip.  I looked through the site and it’ set up just like a real wedding site.  They even have a guest book and people signed it like they are real people getting married.

I would assume that the public knows they are not a real couple, but it got me thinking about that.  People identify with tv characters a lot.  They want these people to be real, on some level anyway.  They want these people to be their friends, after all, they know all about them.  But they’re just actors/actresses!

It makes me wonder if people get too involved with television and why that is.  Is their life just not that exciting?  Are they that enthralled with the show that they’ll leave comments for these not real people to read?

I don’t know the answer to that. It may be an interesting social experiment for someone in the sociology or psychology field. So if you’re looking for a thesis topic here you go!  Just credit me in the title page and I’ll be happy!
