really bad movies

there's a new station among the digital tv stations i get with the new digital converter box i connected a few days from now (catching up on a week in one night makes for strange time references that i enjoy for the potential confusion they might present that becomes a puzzle for posterity, but that's beside the point) and there's no info on this channel so i'll look it up on the web one of these days but anyway, it's apparently a station that the science fiction 3000 club would love cuz there's a really bad black and white sci-fi movie complete with the obligatory human moralizing on at the moment and earlier there was a silent movie on so it's an old time station that shows really bad movies and shorts about whatever, like the really detailed visually descriptive first-person narrative philosophical short from the 1950's or 1940's, even, about what it is like to be and how to be a top notch janitor, or other oddities...

an odd week, i believe i might have mentioned that somewhere...

yeah, so anyway, i pigged out on italian tonight, which is actually several nights from not, based on date-time stamps, for what they are worth or matters, and mountain dew too... but that wasn't actually what i was going to say in this entry... tv can be quite distraction, like the infomercial for the dvd of the midnight special that would probably be oddly nostalgic to watch and listen to, which leads me to mention that another technological failure for this week (the same day, ironically, call if black sunday for tech, i supposed) was the digital converter box that the government paid for (you get what you pay for, once again) and wal-mart was not offering refunds and they no longer carry digital converter boxes so i am stuck with it and out the money unless i call the rca company to find out how to get them to stand behind their product that did not last half a year... yeah, so more american tech joins the parade of suckage this week...

so i bought the new converter box and it gets more stations more clearly, but it shrinks the aspect ratio of the pitcure so there's a black border which just makes me wonder all the more (as i did in the next entry or the one after that) why i stay in this over-priced place that has crappy tech service so maybe i'll get out of here before the end of the year which would be a nice holiday present to give myself...

what else is new? :)

If people had visible signs or meters that told something about them, what would you want it to tell you?

dumb poll (above), smart responders

all the previous poll votes were somehow erased, so, nevermind... ironically or coincidentally or whatever, the results were very close in practical numbers to the results above shown with just three votes, if you understand the mathematics behind that extrapolative reasoning... i will probably remove the poll at some point... it is a ridiculously useless feature...

SEARCH ME

the thing is, with my tendency to babble and meander and whine and allow distraction to take the lead more often than not, even in this blog that sort of meant to merge brevity with focus like some bloggers do, searching for key words does not always lead to specific information about the subject of that key word... but... here is a start at an easy way to search for key words in this blog... use the search box at the top of the blog to search for words not listed here... if ya wanna, that is... and feel free to suggest words to add to this search shortcut section... click on the words below :)
