My lawn mower is broken, and since it's the rainy season and all, my grass is growing and growing and growing. This creates something of a "problem". Especially when it comes time to cut the grass. What to do? Ask the socially awkward neighbor with the mower that barely runs, fire up the Invisi-Mower 2000 or buy a brand spanking new mower?

Now I know the Invisi-Mower 2000 sounds like a good idea, but you haven't seen the pure havoc it wreaks. Pure. Anyway, I'm thinking of doing the latter. I want to get a brand spanking new reel mower -- and Menards has a decent looking one for super cheap, but it's been continuously out of stock for a week and a half now. It was in their weekly flyer the weekend before last and I went in and got a rain check for it, but, unfortunately, I lost that little tiny piece of paper. Or rather, it went through the brand spanking new Frigidaire washer that is Bling Blinging all the way through our basement at home. Bling!

Also new and also Blinging? New Frigidaire dryer.

And you know what else? If you venture upstairs to the kitchen, what ever will you find? The sexiest gas range produced in modern times, by, of course, Frigidaire.

Ideally, next we want to get the fridge that Rachael Ray uses on 30 Minute Meals on Food Network -- which I'm watching more and more the older I'm get. The only problem is that the fridges are pricey. But they're retro and come in kickass colors. Lins and I want want want!

I went jogging at lunch today, just now. Ick. Note to self: bring water next time. Also, maybe try to jog more than half of the time. Oh well. First time since the last time I've been out.

I still haven't made it to Star Wars II yet. Maybe tomorrow night, after a relaxing day off of work spent gardening and looking at engagement/bridal rings with Lindsay. I can't wait for that.

Jack Black was on Kilborn last night ripping on CWebb's facial expressions. Meanwhile I was ripping on Kobe's look back and look all pissed off about something facial expressions that were so on display in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Good stuff all around there. I do believe that that made Lindsay laugh.

I miss having all of my made up faces in my NHL 2002 game. It used to work on a consistent basis, then it stopped working. Then I moved the game to a different drive on my computer. Then it worked again.

When you finish a season in the game, it automatically creates a new season for you, and it keeps the old (finished) season on there, too. So, for some reason, one day I deleted the finished season -- no reason for it to be there anymore, right? Right after that, the faces stopped working. I tried moving the game to a different drive -- that doesn't work anymore. I reinstalled the game. Nada.

So I'm still playing, I've got a kickass team and the second season I made the playoffs. The first season, I didn't so much make the playoffs. I was tied for the 8th spot and didn't make it.

The playoffs, friends, are intense. Normally, your hero players are only heroes with 10 minutes left in the game -- and only when you're losing. In the playoffs, all the heroes are heroes the whole game. Makes it much more fun and much more volatile. Good times.

Man. Six Feet Under. Wow. What a terrific show. The season finale was so great. So. Great. It was tremendous. I cried, I laughed, I loved the show. I love the show. Great acting, great writing, great directing, really perfect music, all interestingly done. It's going to be hard for me to wait until next spring for more new shows.

Tiding me over? Hopefully Curb Your Enthusiasm comes back to HBO soon. And the Sopranos, I guess. And all the West Wings that I missed. And the last few new Greg the Bunny shows. And Crank Yankers. And Trading Spaces. And Wapner. Definitely Wapner. Yeah.

But they all feel, I dunno, less than Six Feet Under does. It's just so good.

Happy Five Oh to my Mommsy yesterday, too.

And with that, I'm done with my brain dump. Hopefully now I'll be back to writing on a daily basis. It's just good to clear all the shit that's holding you back every once in a while.

Thanks for reading!
