TW-3 for July 18-20, 2008.....

Fri 7/18: Didn't do much. Cooked up some bratwurst and sausage on the grill for lunch. Skipped Dark Knight because I didn't want to shell out $10 for a movie. Got a phone call with some great news: a job offer.

Sat 7/19: Didn't do much, although I probably should have. Skipped the Dayton Air Show, since I didn't want to shell out money for a ticket and stand outside in the hot humid air. Had steak and eggs at the Waffle House. Went to bd's Mongolian Grilll for dinner, using my free birthday meal coupon.

Sun 7/20: Brought M to church with me for some UU churchy goodness, as one of my LJ-friends calls it. Went to Hardee's for lunch and then to Splash Moraine for the afternoon. The evening was capped with a dinner at Sake Japanese Steak House with friends from the Bismarck -- Jack, Suzanne, Kevin, Lisa, Rebecca, Rick, Dennis, and Eric.

Today I go the the local U-Haul store to get some boxes and label tape.

Sturgeon's Law as applied to television....

After several hours of flipping channels over several days, it's true: 90% of television programs are crap. No wonder I watch so much sports on TV. That and the Weather Channel.

Most sitcoms leave me unimpressed, and the rest of the network fare is just plain boring. And infomercials? Oh please.

The worst times for programming are in the afternoon and late evening/early morning.

I realize that TV execs view their medium as commercials with a program around them. But if you want me to watch the program, make it interesting for me.
