Has ESPN hit an all-time low? I understand that there is a lack of sports during a weekday, but there should not be 2 hours set aside for juggling. I admit I've watched poker, pool, and The World's Strongest Man. And what guy hasn't sat around watching the cheerleading and dancing competitions? But JUGGLING? Show reruns of NBA playoffs, show European soccer, show an actual sport! But, ESPN probably knows that people will watch no matter what is on. I'm proof because I actually watched juggling for 10 minutes before I had to leave to pick up my wife at school. Had I not had to leave, I probably would have watched more. I'm not sure what compelled me to watch. Was it Penn from Penn and Teller fame giving terrible commentary with some equally terrible British guy or all the movement of the bowling pins? Maybe I was patiently waiting for those bowling pins to pop somebody in the eye or on top of the head. How pathetic am I?

The updates are here. This session is by far one of the biggest since I started. Take a look at my review of Sin City in Now Playing, learn about Nintendo's history in Old School and read about the Weekly Rundown in The Gameroom. If that isn't enough for you, the next challenge is posted in the Message Boards. This month I'm focusing on arcade games, so take the Arcade Screenshot Challenge in the Trivia section for a chance at some cash.

Here's a little calculation I did at lunch yesterday. If you wanted to eat 2 Thin Mints a day for an entire year, you would have to buy 23 boxes. It doesn't matter if it is a leap year. At $3.50 a box, you would have to spend $80.50. A box has approximately 32 cookies, so you could eat a box every two weeks which would put you at 26 boxes a year for a total of $91. I really have no reason for calculating this. I just happened to be eating some Thin Mints yesterday after lunch and noticed they had been in the freezer for months, but amazingly, they were not stale or frozen. They were rather crisp to be sitting in a freezer for 2 months.

I've got some major updates coming up this week. I'm going to wait until I have them all finished before announcing them, but feel free to browse around to see some of the new stuff that's already out.

I'd love to be writing this out on my balcony in my hammock chair on my new Dell Inspirion 6000 laptop. Unfortunately, I have not completely finished setting it up. I think I spent more on this laptop than any other previous desktop. So far I am very impressed. I'm as giddy now as I would be at Christmas. I have to say that wireless Internet absolutely rocks. I guess what's even better is that there is a wireless router within proximity of my apartment. All the benefits, none of the cost. I love it.

Apparently, to be a bagger at the grocery store, all you have to do is be able to move your arms. Reasoning and logical packing are not required. As I became of employment age, baggers at the grocery store had to be friendly and load similar items into bags not to mention pushing the cart of groceries out to the car. Such is not the case now. Today, your bread gets flattened by the soup cans, your eggs are at risk of high levels of toxins from the laundry detergent and your produce ends up looking like someone used it for bowling down aisle 3.

You would think that as a person who eats food, the bagger wouldn't want Clorox and steak in the same bag for fear of contamination. However, as is the case with many retail employees, they could care less about customer satisfaction as long as they are getting their $7.25 / hour. Most retail employees I encounter would much rather earn their money by standing around gossiping or smoking. I sure wish I got paid for doing nothing. Ok, I guess I do since I'm doing this at work right now.

If you hasn't visited recently, the Weekly Rundown is back in the Gameroom. Take a look at what's going on in my little world.
