Alright so started off my week with the season primer of The Riches (Eddie Izzard) on FX. The only thing about moving to Colorado that has ticked me off so far, is what time something is coming on the telly. I don't watch alot of telly, find most of the programs to be trite if not down right crass and insulting to one's intelligence. So I had it narrowed down to 3 shows: Sopranos (now off the air), The Riches and South Park. Well the writers strike delayed the primer of many a t.v. show but I was really waiting for The Riches, I was not disappointed; still a very vibrant and well written show. I usually don't get sucked into telly drama, even after 8 years of Sopranos I just didn't get totally pulled in, so when it ended I just chuckled to myself.
Anyway back to The Riches, this series has truely sucked me in, maybe it's because it is very cleaverly written or that the premise is so astromically insane? But here is my problem, time zones. It would appear that all programming on FX is pacific time, so there I am waiting fot the 1 billion th running of Batman returns to finish as Riches was to be on at 10:00 p.m., but it was pacific time. Really once I had looked up to see what time it was well Batman had saved Gotham once again and it was ten minutes to eleven Denver time, CRAP! Well I had stayed up this long staying up another hour was gonna matter a hell of lot. Hell 6 hours of sleep, yeah I'm good. In the end it was all worth it, a great show and I'm now looking forward to a great season.
Right so we had walk through on the house yesterday, I guess one should not judge the power of the professionals doing the work. When the Missus and I saw the house 3 days prior we were pretty sure that it wouldn't be close to ready for us yesterday. OK turns out it was pretty damn close, touch up paint stuff mostly getting my wiring into the homeruns and finishing the hardwood floors. The missus is always excited about these things while I think about the work that has to be done, once that is completed I'll be excited about the new house. always needing something to worry about the missus is hitting me with questions about the wiring and how she is going to be able to work for Medquist if it isn't finished. You know it funny she gets on the Beezer almost nightly for asking questions no one has answers to, gee wonder where he gets that trait from??? I really hate getting hit with technical questions the minute I roll out of bed, usually my first thought is making the bladder gladder, once done it's 5 minutes of convining myself that being out of bed is a good idea. Exchange good mornings with the missus and think about getting dressed and ready to roll out to work. When conversation is started you can trust that two things will happen. One: What ever you asked me for, I will most likely forget. Stop at store get milk; yeah forgotten by the time I've lit my first smoke of the day on my way out the door. Two: I'm most likely not really listening, my ears take at least 2 hours to start working in the morning, most of the time any kind of input has entered but much like talking under water, yeah that is what I hear.
Right so didn't really finish this on the day I had started it, but now that it is actually March 26th; closing day on the house figured I'd finish this off on a positive note. Everything got done, the place looks good, the missus has calmed down at least a little bit and it appears I'm a home owner... again.
Only bad thing, my renter is once again delinquent in his rent payment, tell you what if he wasn't me best friend I'd be down in Vegas kicking someones teeth in, sigh guess me in laws were right, he will forever be me eldist boy.
