Astley Machine

John and I went to Best Buy on Saturday afternoon, and we began seriously pricing big flat tee vees.

Right now, in the living room is a 25 inch screen, and we're actually looking to replace it with either a 37 or a 40 inch screen.

We're only going to be sitting eight feet away from the mofo, which means the image is going to blow us out of our chairs.

I also caught a glimpse of the new Nano.

Holy merde, that thing is *tiny*.

Early Sunday morning.

It's 46 degrees here and there's been lots and lots of wind.

A week ago in Sacramento, it was about thirty degrees warmer at the same time of the day.

Yeesh.

We made a decision as to how we're going to treat our land-based telephone line from now on.

We're going to make the machine answer-only, with no option to leave a message -- and the outgoing noise will be none other than the song "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley.

Yes, that's right, boys and girls -- whomever dares call our land line in the perpetually fruitless endeavor of getting us to vote one way or another?

They will be getting rickrolled.

Okay there. Have a good Sunday.
