Well, Stephan had said that I should post some pictures… so, I took a few quick pictures of some random things.

My Bookcase. Plenty of good books… my Strongbad DVD set is the most right hand thing on the middle shelf, if you look hard. Mase autographed CD is up there, for the moment, with the ever present stuffed frog…

My Desk. Where it all happens. I’m sitting here right now! As you can see, we have all of the stuff I posted about buying here in the past. Also, my rarely used PDA (Tungsten T3), my MP3 player, remotes to the TV and sterio, a regular calculator (I just prefer using it - quicker) and, of course, my iFroggy.com mousepad! Oh and my lamp, which I like. My PC’s desktop is a wee bit cluttered, as you can see… but the rest of my PC is very organized. I’ll be cleaning up the desktop soon. And I don’t know what that spot on the wall is because it isn’t there in real life. Some reflected light or something.

My Laptop. Compaq Presario V2000. NetGear wireless PC card plugged in.

My New MP3 Player. Turned on with the backlight on - yes, that is my thumb. Also, a picture of it in it’s case.

My TV/TV Stand. The TV is a few months old, but the stand was bought under a week ago. Took me a while to find something that I liked. Like it a lot. Yes, those are my Homestar figurines. The wooden thing is a wooden frog. Also, you can see half of my CD collection to the right.

Finally, our cats. Yin and Yang. Actually, Digit and Polar.

So… yeah. There’s some pictures. ;)

Yeah, that’s right, Luis Sojo is playing again. In the Winter Leagues, of course, at the age of 40. According to the article, he’s hitting .333 (7 for 21) with one home run for the Lara Cardinals, who are 1-6 in the round-robin postseason.

Well, my new toy came a couple of days ago. I have been playing with it as I have time and I like it. Very neat. My entire CD collection x 9.5 can fit on it. AWESOME!

Not too much to blog about lately, as you have seen. :) Sorry…

I’m not playing too much AA as I am pretty busy right now, but I did hit 30 honor about a week ago, so that’s something…

Well, it’s over. I guessed right and Shawn won. Overall, it was a pretty good show that I enjoyed watching.

The one thing that gets me is that the prize wasn’t really what we were led to believe the whole time. He’s not going to be President of Virgin Worldwide. Mr. Branson is creating a position at Virgin that “effectively” makes him President of Virgin Worldwide - he’ll “share” the job with Richard Branson. And it’s only for 3 months.

But, after those 3 months, IF Shawn has done an outstanding job, Shawn will be named President of a new to be determined Virgin company and be given an equity stake in it. He also got 1 million dollars. A pretty cool prize - but, not exactly what we had been led to believe. You can read more at Reality TV World.

I did a little look around and found that Shawn has a personal website, featuring a blog. Also, if you look down and to the left on his blog, you can find links to all of the cast member sites.

Well, I watched a good bit of the Randy Johnson press conference. Went well. He looked and sounded very good. Gets you excited, for sure. I loved this quote:

Good stuff, good stuff.

The Channel Two (Duke something or other) guy seemed to be a bit of a stooge. Randy made a mistake, he apologized profusely. It wasn’t really that big a deal. If he punched you and beat you up, that’s a big deal. The guy gets a chance to ask a question at a major press conference and that’s what he asks? Jump in a lake and enjoy your “claim” to fame.

Well, The Rebel Billionaire ends tonight. I don’t watch hardly any reality shows - or shows, at all, really - but I have managed to watch this one from beginning until (hopefully) end. Anyone else watching it? Who do you think is going to win?

I thought Shawn was going to, but with the way Richard (rightly) pointed out some of the things he had done, I am questioning it. Still, I think he is closer to Richard, so I will guess that it will be him, in the end. But, we shall see…

A few years ago, I was a member of the BMG record club. It was great. There weren’t the newest CDs, etc. but all CDs would eventually make it AND they had a great selection of older ones. For instance, I like Will Smith, so I was able to get almost all of the DJ Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince CDs, which was great.

But, it seems times have changed. I have been looking at the record clubs that are out there (BMG and Columbia House - is there anyone else?) and it looks like selection has gone downhill. For instance, BMG has 0 P. Diddy albums (although I own them all, I am using this as an example) and I think either 0 or 1 JJFP albums. It kind of stinks. I’m not sure when or why it happened. Maybe something to do with consolidation in the industry? I wanted to get the Bad Boys 2 Movie Soundtrack (it has been out for 1 and 1/2 years, so I don’t think its too new!) and can’t find it at either. It stinks.

Anyway, does anyone know of any other record clubs besides those two? Would like to hear of them.
