Surviving My Life

Jolt The Pacemaker

So, it's Monday, and while I waited by my cellphone all day at work with baited breath, Adelphia never called. Come to find out, they were closed today - because it's Martin Luther King Jr Day.

Speaking of anticipation, is anyone else watching the new season of 24? They really should run a disclaimer on the bottom that warns people with pacemakers to not watch the show. I always find myself sitting on the edge of my recliner when I watch it.

For fun, go rent or purchase one of the Seasons of 24. Good luck watching just one episode.

Tomorrow's Tuesday, and being that I still work for Utica.Tv, my job is to tag promos. Tomorrow night on Fox is the Season Premiere of American Idol.

I've seen about 12 different promos, and let me tell you - the Lord has blessed this season with the largest group of tone-deaf contestents EVER. While that's bad for the contestents, it's good for me.

Now I've got a whole bunch of people to make fun of.

In the other TV viewing schedule, Wednesday night is when "Lost" is on. The show that always leaves me saying "WHAT THE HECK?!?"

So, that's the update. Hooray.

24 + Lost + American Idol + Stargate SG1 + Stargate Atlantis + Battlestar Galactica = 6 hours of TV per week.

Wow. I haven't watched this much tv in years...

And now, for my rave of the evening:

Is it really necessary for the garbage trucks in Utica to come at 3 in the morning and be blaring "Boston - More Than A Feeling" out exterior speakers while guys shout at each other over the noise? Coupled with the fact that the truck itself sounds like a caterpillar parallel parking on top of a monster truck. PLUS - That doesn't even account for the lights on top of the truck!

Seriously. The Superbowl called. They wanted to know what technology the Utica Waste Management was using on their trucks.

I can't believe it.

They've got the headlights. Coupled with the light rack on the top (8 lights on that) Add to that the 4 lights on the back of the truck. And, the cherry on top, is the singular 1,000,000 candlepower rotating yellow light on the roof of the cab. It's like a traveling Epileptic Seizure.

I mean - COME ON. What the heck?!? It's 3AM!

For those of you that don't understand what I'm talking about - imagine this:

Waking up from a dead sleep at 3am to Neil Diamond in your bedroom performing while Gravedigger (The Monster Truck) does an interpretive dance on your nighstand while a Virginia family of 12 in their bass boats use their flashlights to light the scene.

On that note, Advil called. They're now sponsoring my sleep.
