We could always dress up like our favorite Pokémon and do some live action role playing

Or not...

Beware of the illness. It's out there. It's horrid. You can't eat for days. Can't drink more than an ounce of water at a time. These are the rules. If you find that you have been infected any attempt to override these rules results in violent vomiting. Do not dismiss this warning. I fought it for days, but now I've prevailed...

Props to the Judge Bolton for putting a hold on the more controversial parts of the AZ immigration law. It's just the first step though. This is destine for the Supreme Court...

I started watching Heroes again. I'm up to the end of season 3. I'm not sure I'm going to watch the last season. I didn't realize that the show was cancelled without proper closure. I think that might just drive me crazy. I did like season 3 though....

Moved back into the X-files. Good stuff. I'm still on season 4. I really enjoyed the two part episode where Mulder gets captured by the Russians. The "Musings of a Smoking Man" was pretty lame in my opinion. I understand that they want some mystery around this guy but to suggest he was there for the JFK assassination and MLK jr. is a bit far. I think that they could have come up with a better back story for him. More to do with aliens and less to do with conspiracy in general....

Coca-Cola is going to give 100K to which ever park gets the most votes in it's online thingamajig. Y'all should vote for some local park. I put up for N. Cascades NP...

Here's another story that I've mention before, the W Seattle Totem Pole. I'm happy to see its finally back up where it should be. From the picture it also looks like they did a nice restoration job. I'm going to have to head out there for a first hand inspection soon....

And we'll end today with a lil JFK quote, "If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich."

It's comin' no matter what I say

All of you need to watch this. It's absolutely amazing...

I finished up season 2 of the X-files this weekend. Definitely better than the first season. There were a few notable episodes. "Humbug" is most certainly a classic. "Fresh Bones" and "Excelsis Dei" were both great episodes. "End Game" is so far my favorite of the conspiracy episodes. That bounty hunter was damn creepy. I'd also like to point out that I wasn't very pleased with Scully's abduction. Now I understand that the actor was pregnant, however that shit just pissed me off. It isn't the same without her. They better not bull that crap on me again until after Season 5 (I've heard it takes a big downturn at that point). That being said, I've been enjoying Season 3 so far. I had to dive right in since they left 2 on such a cliff hanger...

There's supposed to be a storm coming through this afternoon. 50 mph gusts and lots of rain. Hopefully we lose power here at work and I get to go home early. Very doubtful though...

Went frolfing for the first time yesterday. Great fun. I'm definitely going to have to do that some more. It was ridiculous getting down to White Center though. Took my like 2 hours. It was nice though, I hadn't been to the old hood in a while. It's crazy to see what they've been doing. All the new developments look good except for the paint job. I was happy to see that they didn't just do another cookie cutter project like was there before. It's got a little more depth now, but we'll have to see how it ages...

Obsessions, irritations and new found love

I'm watching the X-files in chronological order. I was never really into it in the past, but I figured it's about time I give it another chance. Damn. It's so good. I'm almost through the first season and have yet to come across an episode I didn't like. So far my favorite episode has been "Beyond the Sea". The guy they got to play the Boggs was creepy as all hell. I also was into the role reversal they had going on. I'll probably finish the first season tonight. At this rate I'll watch them all in the next couple months. By then it will be time to re-watch Lost or maybe the Outer Limits or Alias. I don't know...

Since my iPod failed a few months ago I've started listening to a lot of Pandora on my phone. I've actually been very pleased with it. I like that I'm able to hear things that I haven't already without having to deal with the bullshit on the radio. It's led to me realizing that I'm a big fan of somethings that I wouldn't have expected. I went through that 80s phase for a while, but that's faded (probably for the best). I guess the two best finds I've come across so far would be Interpol and Eminem. Interpol fills my need for new wave without being over synthesized like most of the 80s stuff I'd been listening to. As for Eminem, I know, "are you serious?" I am very serious. I used to listen to his stuff back in high school. The first two albums have always been a guilty pleasure of mine. However I'm finding that I'm a fan of his newer stuff as well. Not all of it, but enough that I have to give the man credit. Makes me wonder what I'll find next...

Youtube pisses me off. They really need to find a way to regulate the volume. When I decide to listen to a playlist of music I don't want one track to be so quiet I can't hear it and then the next blaring so that they can hear it down in the warehouse. Maybe I'll write an angry letter to Google - haven't done that in a while...

The new obsession is quickly becoming Fishing. I need to go out and get a pole and some tackle. There isn't a day that's gone by in the last month that I haven't thought about how I'd rather be fishing. I finally understand all those shirts/bumper stickers. If anyone else is down let me know. I want to go at least once a week but hopefully it turns out to be more like 3-4 times a week...
