I just had my first visit to IKEA today..... For a while there I thought I might need hospitalization.  That store is HUGE!!!!!  I have never seen so much stuff with so many people swarmed around it in one place.  I found some great bargains on strange stuff... I guess it was a good day but it is insane in there.  I am really glad I did not go on opening day.

My new hobby for the summer (in between all the other stuff I have to take care of) is watching british mystery programs.  They really make me feel smart.  I have watched enough episodes now to figure out who did it before Poirot, Miss Marple, Lord Peter Whimsey or the guys on Midsomer Murders.  Strangely enough it the American show that still gets me sometimes.  I have watched Murder She Wrote episodes all week and I am still only figuring out the killer one step before Jessica Fletcher.  Back to the drawing board.  Or maybe I should just watch Colombo and not even think about who did it. *SIGH*

I think that it is strange that the most organized thing in my life right now is my information about this web site.  I am in the process of trying to get a new apartment and I am changing locations at work and so everything in my life is upside down and backwards.  Except of course for my notebook and source books for the information at tv.com.  I just think that is weird.  This place forces me to be organized even when everything else goes to a very very hot and firey place.    :twisted:

Sorry PSUIrishDave!  But thanks for noticing. My parents went on vacation so I had to go stay with my younger brother while they were gone.  I am back and I am doing just fine.  I hope I get a vacation of my own some time this summer :D

I put up a new banner at my gamespot account.  I seem to have lost the program that I used to make cool banners.  Now I just have paint and it is very sad.  It doesn't even have a blur effect for the edges.  :(  Oh well I like my banners anyway.

I thought that once you were a member of one section you were a member of all.  For some reason though I have never been able to log in at gamespot.  I wonder why?  Does anyone know if there is something special I must do?

You know that backhanded compliment that people are always complaining about?  The one that goes "You look really nice today"  while you are wondering in the back of your head.... Do I look like ^%$^ the rest of the time?  Well I made myself happy last week by buying two new pairs of shoes.  (If you have not felt the cleansing sensation of shoe buying recently you should try it)  Well I wore my new shoes to work and people keep commenting on them.  Its nice and all, but did my old shoes look like I stole them off a hobo?  I don't know maybe I am being picky, but it just seems weird.  Of all the things to notice.... hmmmmm......

I had a bad day today.  It reminded me of that quote from "A Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day"  I wish I was in Australia....then I wouldn't have to go to work tomorrow...

I often find myself sitting in front of my computer wondering what to blog about.  Should I blog about my day?  Should it be happy themed? angry themed? petulant? can I spell petulant?  Should i blog about food? clothes? stupid people? annoying people? animals?  If you ever wonder why my blog just usually sounds confused... now you know...  So today I have decided to blog about blogging.  Blogging is such a strange thing.  Its like fake journaling.  I mean its kinda real journaling but not that annoying journaling that your fifth grade teacher made you do to improve your writing skills and make you open up to your own deep down hidden demons (or was that just my fifth grade teacher)  I mean the kind of random wierd sort of journaling where people actually want to read your endless writing (except my mindless drivel)  Where else do you tell total strangers things about your own life.  (Except for me of course... I lie.... :)  My life is much more exciting than this...)

My family thinks that my obsession with television shows is unhealthy.  I change my obsession regularly so it doesn't seem to me to be too scary.  I buy a lot of DVDs, but my credit card is never overcharged.  I don't consider it unhealthy.  I know I am preaching to the choir here... but what do you think are the signs of unhealthy obsession?  At least obsession means you are alive inside.... if you never got truly attached to anything are you really alive?
