Tiny reflections on life

New Fall Shows

The commercials have started for the new fall shows on the major networks. I have seen a few that look interesting, like the one on CBS called “Same Name.” The new shows might be worth a look, but I don’t have time to watch a lot of TV and I’m going to have to prioritize which shows are worth making a sacrifice to watch. So far, I want to watch Sons of Anarchy and Harry’s Law. Other than those two, I might pick up two more. So they are going to have to be really good.

Best Burgers

When I want a hamburger, I can’t stand the idea of another McDonald’s burger. I’m sick of the burgers at Burger King, too. So that leaves Wendy’s or Hardees, or maybe Jack in the Box. If that’s all I have to pick from, I’ll go with Jack in the Box any day. Their sirloin burgers rock! But I have an ace in the hole. The best tasting burgers in this town are at Backyard Burgers – it’s worth going out of my way or driving an extra 10 minutes to skip the other chains and find a Backyard Burger for lunch.

Happy Fireworks!

fireworks

This year we blew off going downtown and stayed in our own neighborhood. The crowds downtown just keep getting bigger and making traffic that much worse. At home, we set off about $100 worth of fireworks and so did each of the neighbors. We had a pretty good show.

Bugged

Tried to sit outside and talk with the neighbors for a while tonight. We couldn’t do it. The damn bugs were so bad we all got chased back in the house.

The mosquitoes are especially fierce this year. I’m heading out tomorrow for some kind of yard treatment to get rid of those blood suckers. I hate mosquitoes and they spread all kinds of disease. You can’t just slap a few off your arm or leg and be OK with it. By the time they bite you and you know they are there, it is too late.

Lady Gag Me

This Lady Gaga is making me gag. I’ve started calling her Lady Gag Me. She is one sleazy, hot mess.

She is not pretty. She has a nice body, but so what? So do a million other girls in their teens and twenties. All of her extreme makeup and almost nude costumes do not impress me. If she can sing, great. If she can’t sing, put her in a circus with all the other freaks.
