This is the worst night of the week, because tomorrow is Monday, the first day of the work week. Sunday is otherwise a very nice day, sleep in, big paper with lots of ads to dream about, lunch out, movie in the afternoon and celtic music from the Thistle and Shamrock from 6 to 7 PM. After that the dread starts in, have to shave and shower and go to bed – next thing you know it is Monday and the crap rolls in for the next 5 days.
My wife wants to go for a drive in the Miata in a few minutes. I told her that would ruin the whole thing. She asked, “What thing?” I told her we had yet to drive the Miata this weekend. No sympathy, a ride she wants, a ride she gets. “Please Brer Fox, don’t throw m in that briar patch.” 🙂
Started down, still down.

Miata didn’t move at all today – kinda like a Sunday, but only it is Saturday. Drove to Columbia to run an errand and made it a family affair by taking along Mom and using Mom’s MSV. While we were there we made it a mission to eat our favorite Capitol City institution, Maurice’s Barbecue. Rained most of the afternoon and evening so we stayed inside and watched movies.
Started down, still down.

Wasted the evening on the couch watching “Men in Black.” I don’t remember specifics, but NBC was promoing some show called “Dog Eat Dog.” I am hopelessly out of touch or old or quite possibly both, but I recognize crap when I see it (after all that is what this blog is) and anything from the producers of “Fear Factor” and “The Weakest Link” copying/combining elements of those crappy shows will be CRAP!
When I first bought a DVD player about 2 years ago, everyone asked my if the picture quality was so much better than video tape. My response was always, “Not that much, in fact if you have a good copy of the tape it seemed about the same as DVD.” I won’t say that any more. Tonight a friend lent me a copy of Blackhawk Down on VHS. First off is wasn’t letterboxed so that seemed way different, but the movie didn’t seem as sharp as I have gotten used to. The real difference was in any subtitles, signs, words, etc. The real kicker was at the end of the movie they scroll some updates about the real people involved and they were practically unreadable.
Anxiously awaiting Monday – Leather shift boot, leather e-brake boot, pearl magnum Voodoo shift knob and pearl Voodoo e-brake handle are on their way from Serious Auto via truck.
Started down, went up, back down, still down.

You’ve seen them on the backs of cars, those symbols of Christianity placed so you can tell that the person in front of you is a religious sort. Tonight I was behind a car that had a variation of one on the trunk lid that I had not seen before. In place where the eye of the fish would be, there was a small cross. I suppose it was there to maybe clue in the uneducated as to what the fish symbol meant, but I thought the x-ed out eye made it look like a dead fish.
