Played Some Frisbee Golf Today, Finally

Between the greenhouse super heat and all my discs stuck in my broken down car in Greensburg, it’s been at least a month, maybe more since I’ve been out.

I had a good time playing today. My brother uses three discs now. I don’t know what’s up with that. I just don’t know where his head is at, crazy kid.

I stunk up the place until about the thirteenth hole.

Then I bought a new disc. It’s neon green for the fall. With leaves going, the orange disc’s days are numbered. It would probably work well in snow, too.

Now That My TV Has Died

I really want to watch it. Or I think somehow the cable is out and not the TV; I could put in a DVD and it would be magically healed. Boy, some survival Discovery, BBC or even a crap reality game show could go down great now. If my laptop was newer, I could watch a DVD there, but no, just the CD drive. I knew it was a mistake to upgrade the cable to save six dollars a month. If I hadn’t upgraded, I wouldn’t have turned on the damn thing for another month, thus extending its life. So much for new channel glee. To replace or not to replace.

TVs must die in threes. There were just two small ones in the hall of my building, one for the fourth and one for the third floor. Should have stolen one. Oh well.

Cool Kids and Coping

Someday I might come to terms with the fact that it's not that weird that I occasionally fall into the definition of cool kid. I never wanted (LIE!) I haven't wanted to be one for a long time and now look at me. And for being godless no less!

Thanks to Skepchick.

Somehow, atheism – just like homosexuality, which used to be considered shameful and something to hide – is now becoming hip, sophisticated, enlightened, even a badge of honor."

Favorites

The Little Engine That Could has always been a favorite of mine. I heard about hobo nickels from the Areas of My Expertise by John Hodgman an incredibly funny book by a sometime Daily Show contributor and the PC on the Mac/PC commercials. The audio edition is not to be missed.

Well I didn't realize hobo nickels were real, but here's the combination:
