43!

Skip and I are going on a cruise tomorrow. It's our first and I'm starting to get excited. I went to the Doctor today to get a patch for motion sickness (just in case) and evidently my resting heart rate is down to 43 beats per minute. She said that must be wrong and did I exercise? Well, 5 - 9 hours of cardio a week along with stretching and lifting will do that to ya.

Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along

Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is working on a new project titled Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along.

How can something with Joss Whedon, Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillon be anything but incredible?

You can check out the trailer here.

How was your day, Jeff?

Well, I broke a record. 9 and 1/2 hours of meetings in 11 hours. That's after doing 1 hour on the eliptical cross trainer and then chest/arms/abs/stretching.

Then I had a wonderful Indian dinner.

RIP Mitch Mullany

I always thought Mitch Mullany was so cute and funny. His show Nick Freno: Licensed Teacher was horrible but I watched every episode because of him. I'm certainly not used to reading about someone my age dying.

What the hell?

TNT has started a new way to advertise. They literally pause a show while it is airing, the ad shows up in the bottom corner and when it's done the show starts again. I just saw this during Family Guy on TNT. Well, Mr. Bill Engvall, there's one more reason I won't see your show.

Despicable.

Karma and Vista

I replaced the graphics card on my Mac Pro on Friday. A side benefit is that the card supports DirectX 10. So what does my brain do? It tells me (totally without my permission) that I should now upgrade my boot camp partition to Vista. I had tried the Release Candidate and totally hated it, but now that Service Pack 1 is out I decided to give it a try. First I decided to be bad and try an actual upgrade rather than a clean install. It took forever of course and ended up leaving to take Blossom to Day Care and to go to the gym.

When I was in Day Care buying some more tickets for Blossom, a guy came up to me and asked if I had a white Honda. Well of course I do, and he told me that the car had rolled backwards. Into another car. Down a slight hill. It was one of the groomer's cars and there was a very small bump which she wasn't worried about. Skip had to bang our bumper back into place but that was the extent of the damage.

I think, though, this was the universe's way of punishing me for doing a Vista upgrade.

I got home and the install was totally hosed. I ended up having to do a clean install. It actually turned out pretty well (minus the microsoft normal abnormalities) and I haven't had any real problems yet. Fingers crossed.
