Long time no write

So the updates have been lacking over the past few days due to a few things:

1. not much of interest going on
2. family in town
3. religious holiday

So now I am back and have a few things to report on.

Cool Toy:
How could I have never thought to get this invention: Slingbox. This thing looks like it is the coolest thing since TiVo. So TiVo allows one to timeshift (i.e., watch a show whenever you want not when the network tells you to). The Slingbox allows you to not only timeshift but placeshift (i.e., watch your TiVo'd shows ANYWHERE!!!). Again how do I not have this YET? This allows one to manage and set their TiVo remotely as well as watch TV at work. Shhhhhhh.

Baseball:
Last night's game kinda stunk. Colon gets 2 outs then proceeds to give up 4 straight hits (each batter had 2 strikes on them). Just a frustrating loss where the Angels failed to get anything going offensively. Hopefully they can win tonight as they have Lackey going. Go Angels!

Football:
Cal looked flat against UofA which is a bit concerning with the UCLA game coming up this weekend. Ayoob needs to step to the plate and show that he is both a solid QB and a leader. UCLA will more than likely dare him to throw and he needs to exploit that fact. UCLA are 2 point picks and ugh..... The good thing is that UCLA looked pathetically bad v. UW (worst team in the PAC-10). So maybe they are a bit overrated and we can sneak out of LA 6-0. Go Bears!



TV:
So I finally decided to own up to the massive amount of TV that I actually watch so here is the run-down day by day of what Drucker watches:
Monday: Arrested Development, Kitchen Confidential, Prison Break, How I Met Your Mother - 2.5 hours
Tuesday: Gilmore Girls, My Name is Earl, The Office, The Amazing Race, L&O SVU, WSOP - 6 hours
Wednesday: Veronica Mars, Lost, Invasion, L&O - 4 hours
Thursday: Survivor, The OC, Alias, Everbody Hates Chris, ER - 4.5 hours
Friday: Nothing!
Saturday: Nothing
Sunday: Extras, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Simpsons, Family Guy, West Wing, American Dad, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy - 5.5 hours
Total: 22.5 hours. More than a halftime job.

Here are the shows that will more than likely be purged in advance on a trip to Hawaii (4 weeks from today): Alias, The OC, West Wing. Bringing me closer to a 19.5 hours. The other things to consider is that during the baseball playoffs all the Fox shows are in re-run mode, or just not on at all. Also the WSOP is only on for another month or so. So basically I don't watch any TV. Yay Slingbox!
