Hooray, My InterWeb Is Back Up!!!

Oh the horrors to wake up on Monday morning to find that you cannot connect to the internet. Much like ATMs I cannot imagine a life without my DSL. I can't go back. No, I won't go back.

Maybe They Should Be Called 'Foolgle'?
Good Ole Haiku Lou brought this to my attention (via Kat's blog comments). How's that for namedropping?

Go to Google and into their search box type the word failure and see what it returns.

Oh the nerve of Google! How Dare They? How can they list Michael Moore so high in their search results! (discuss)

Running In Circles. Uphill. Both Ways.
Yesterday the Sunday morning running group ran a sick, twisted, Escher-like ~6 mile course. I suppose I should be thankful that my legs are strong enough to drag my fat ass (okay, fat belly) up hills, but somehow I wasn't that thankful yesterday. The 16.9 ounce Bass Ale cans (oh, the humanity!) awaiting my return were the only thing keeping me going. As a testament to my love of beer I even ran past a Waffle House without stopping in. And by now you should know that I loves me some Waffle House.

Somehow I think the workout was lost with the beer, bagels w/cream cheese, eggs, and that Biggie Sized Wendy's #6 combo I picked up on the way back to mi casa.

Some eat to live. I live to eat (and drink).

TV Worth (Re)Pimping
I am pretty sure that I have mentioned the hilarity that is Drawn Together. I love this cartoon. Now keep in mind that
  • I have a sick sense of humor
  • I am hard to offend
  • I have watched enough RealityTV to get some of the subtle humor
If you are of a similar mindset and have yet to start watching Drawn Together, you are missing out on a great series. I even own Season One on dvd.

Speaking Of DVD Collections
I have a sizeable cd collection, but by anyone's standards my dvd collection is small. This is intentional. I don't really understand owning dvds because unlike music I rarely want to play the dvd more than once. My collection consists of a couple of "standards" that I can watch at any time ("This is Spinal Tap" for instance), and animation (mostly Christmas related). Why would I want to purchase a show like "Alias" on dvd? Don't get me wrong, I like the Jennifer Garner as much as the next guy, but I still don't need to own her tv series on dvd.

And now for some ideas stolen from LiveJournal...
Current Mood - swollen from the large breakfast I ate today
Current Music - none specifically, listening to the "KCRW Morning Becomes Eclectic" podcast
Website Of The Day - More Music! More Playlists! All from the kids at WebJay.

If you ever want a quick glance of the sites I've picked for my Websites Of The Day, you can check them out on del.icio.us, my user name is InsideThePerimeter (go figure), and they are all tagged as "blogged."

Exercise (b)Log - running, ~6 miles
Weekly Weigh-In - tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll get on the scale tomorrow

Cheers!
