Ground control to Major Tom....

I've turned into some kind of voyeur. I discovered EarthCam, live webcams all over the world. Not sexy, just streets, etc. Red Square, Times Square, Penguins in a zoo in Germany or whatever. I especially enjoy watching the New York scenes. There is a streaming camera with sounds and everything. Sometimes I am horribly certain that this is the closest I'll get to these places and I just want to wallow in self-pity. What if I die before I get to see everything??? I realize what a moronic statement that is but I have such a hunger, no a yearning, to see these places that it feels ... well unfair! I know that sounds alot like whining, especially since I went to South Africa earlier this year, but that seemed to make my need more urgent. I swear to God nothing acquaints you with your own mortality like having a kid. Another cool way to pass time -Google Earth!

Chipmunk Banter

Somehow Ken and I ended up discussing Alvin & the Chipmunks the other day. I said their name makes no sense. It should be Dave & the Chipmunks, The Chipmunks, or Alvin & the Other Two Chipmunks if you see my point. Alvin and the Chipmunks implies that Alvin is something other than a Chipmunk! Looks like a Chipmunk to me. Perhaps they should be called Alvin-the-Imposter & Simon the Real Chipmunk & Theodore the Other Real Chipmunk. Ken informed me that it's actually pronounced "Elvin" to which I wondered why is there an A on his shirt and he said there wasn't and he was going to kill me blahblahblah. See picture below and let me just say "Ahem."







I'm so glad I blogged this, my life has purpose again!

Next week's topics:
1. Why Do the So Called Chipmunks Have No Tails?
2. Who is This Dave and Why Does He Hang With 3-Foot Singing Rodents?

Back in a jiffy.

Alright, alright I haven't posted for a while. I have nothing to say that's more interesting than me watching all of the Sopranos episodes in chronological order. I'm almost at the end of season four so I should be back in action in no time. Damn Joe! Also, due to recent blogging events, I have a feeling -a very bad feeling- that the bad-pun floodgates will be opening and I will be all over that like white on rice. Enter Troy. So, to recap: 1. I'm not dead. 2. Sopranos rock! 3. I'll be back in action soon. 4. White is on rice. Over & out mofo.
