That's Not PowerPoint

Sunday, Oct. 07, 2007 - 2:52 a.m.

We never left the house on Saturday. Well, *I* haven't left the house.

It started as a Pajama Day and *stayed* that way. Especially after John returned from where he went.

Where he went... was the Post Office.

I missed hearing the mail carrier buzz yesterday, which is happening more and more because of my hearing loss, so it was returned to the local station.

John, the darling, offered to go get it, and brought back the special little 'no screw needed' camera tripod I purchased for use with the Flip Camcorder.

He then pried it out of the package and handed it to me to investigate -- where I basically immediately found out that I could unscrew the doodonkus that was actually the 'no screw needed' part -- and have the standard screw tripod if I needed it.

Why the seller charged me ten dollars for a tripod and a doodonkus when the doodonkus could probably have easily been purchased separately is a puzzlement, but so be it. I suppose I could have done more research, but once in awhile, for the sake of convenience, I'll go ahead and purchase the first sparklie thingie I happen across that will suit the purpose at hand.

Oh, well!

Oh my god oh my god oh my god there was a WONDERFUL surprise on Cinema Insomnia!

John Stanley, who was one of the Creature Feature hosts, forcibly usurped the hosting dutes of Mr. Lobo.

Poor Mr. Lobo was the victim of a 'random' abduction, so John Stanley was gracious enough to step in.

Heh. Well done!

When oh when are politicians going to learn to keep their memory sticks in their pants??...

"Wait, that's not PowerPoint," indeed.

I'd mark this one as 'Pwned'.

Finally, thanks to the powers that be for putting KLSX on iTunes at a broadcast speed that my computer can translate without too many breaks.

Okay, there we go. Have a good Sunday.

And if you are as blessed as John and I are, to live in the Bay Area somewhere from which you can see the Blue Angels -- look up and enjoy.
