Happy Hump Day everyone!
_____
Check this out: Shortly after the All Star game last Tuesday, I was in my bedroom watching the post game wrap up and working on my computer, when all of a sudden, I heard a loud snap that scared the bejesus out of me. I looked up to see the picture on my plasma TV go out, followed shortly thereafter by the sound going away, and now it doesn't even turn on. Thankfully I got the warrantee and so far, the Best Buy folks have been easy to deal with. I couldn't find my receipt since I bought it 2 years ago, but when I went into the store, they had it on file and it was easy to schedule service and they are coming over soon. Hopefully it'll be just as easy to fix or replace it.

I still haven't seen the Dark Knight. I hear it's excellent. I am waiting for the crowds to die down.

The other day I picked up the laptop connect card from AT&T and it's awesome. It's almost as fast as the broadband I have at my house and it's just so nice and convenient. No more hotel Wi-Fi connect charges for me! The thing is going to end up being free once I get the mail in rebate.

Last night I head a song at a bar and I really liked it. The Shazam app on my iTunes couldn't ID it. It was a clubby, techno, funky obscure tune that I really liked. The only lyrics I remember were "I like chocolate cake". It was a girl singing and a guy talking/singing. I wish I paid more attention to the song, but I figured Shazam could figure it out, and by the time it said it couldn't, the song was over. I doubt the song was titled chocolate cake, it just had it in the melody a couple of time. I tired Google, but not luck. If anyone can find it for me, I'll be your BFF.

Is anyone up for going to the OC Fair this Friday night? Leave a comment if you are down!

There's a new U2 release on the iTunes Music Store. It's from a live concert in Paris from 1987. It has a 10 minute version of "With or Without You"... awesomeness!

Be sure to check back tomorrow for a very disturbing post.

And lastly, for the past year or so, my water heater has been slowly dying. With each shower, my hot water time has grown shorter and shorter. After a 2 and a half minute shower the other day, I decided enough was enough. My dad and his handyman friend installed a new water heater, and I love my showers again! I am sure the water bill will be going up, but at least I won't feel like I'm camping in my own home.
My new best friend:
Happy Hump Day everyone!
