Absurd Singularity

Lordy lordy, it's September already?

Well with a new month comes a new version of MovableType, the blog software that runs this silly lil' thing. Upgraded without a hitch although I'm having a heck of a time trying to get the new MTBlacklist 2.0 to work. It is beta after all. Plus the programmer's incommunicado for another week so no help coming from that end for the time being.

And of course, this entry would be remiss if I didn't mention the biggest event in the past week, my wedding. It turned out much better than I expected. Big "thank you's" to those who were able to join us in the festivities. To those who couldn't make it, we missed y'all and thanks for the well wishes. We'll need to catch up soon. I'm still gathering pics of the day so I'll post links and pics once I have everything organized. I'll write a dedicated entry later as well. Thanks for your patience. =)

Last week was just perusing the web like I generally do and ran into the following article on the rather disjointed downfall of The Drew Carey Show. Answered my questions on what the hell happened to the show this last year. Was rather puzzled by the sudden disappearance of the show last year and just as sudden reappearance (with zero fanfare too) this summer. I have to admit the show hasn't been as good as it used to be. Amazing that it was around for NINE years. Agree that it probably jumped the shark when Kate left (possibly a little bit before that).

Anyhoo, took a tv break earlier tonight and as luck would have it, managed to catch the very last two episodes of the show. Somewhat of a typical 2004 sitcom ending but still had its moments. Ah well, it was good while it lasted. Have a good life in syndication Drew, Lewis and Oswald.

Caught the song 1985 by Bowling for Soup on the radio while driving home the other day and thought it was hysterical. Well, maybe not really that funny but I can relate. Full lyrics after the break. What is it with the '80s when it comes to music? I don't recall radio stations having "Flashback '70s" hours or nights back in the 1990's. Anyway, I guess there's a lot of our generation out there cause the song's currently #1 on the iTunes Music Store. Rock on!

While downloading the aforementioned song from Limewire I accidentally downloaded another song of the same name but by SR-71. Seems to be the exact same 'cept with slightly different lyrics. My guess is this was the original.

Normally, receiving a "Your order has shipped" email from an e-commerce site is no big deal, promptly being moved to the appropriate mail folder. But the one from Split Reason was worthy of a thorough read at least:
