Internetless
I return. My buddies cable/wireless connection was disconnected sometime last week. Therefore, I’ve been internetless for the past week. The cable guy came by yesterday, he plugged in 1 cable, and was gone. Simple as that. So, here’s my weekly summary.
After an hour of no internet, I took this as a sign to finish the book I’ve been reading, Fahrenheit 451. One of my roomate’s friends recommended this to me in the genre of Lord of the Flies and Catcher in the Rye. It got me thinking about the perspectives of “Can thinking be destructive?” and taking what you’ve learned with you. I’m going to seek out some of the other books by Ray Bradbury, the author.
My Hershey’s Free T-shirt submission is in the mail. The mass of chocolate has been eatin’, and it’s kind of crazy. After I was through the needed UPC’s, I craved chocolate and there was none left. I should have video taped this “eat a Hershey a day” idea like Morgan Spurlock.
The White Sox have won the World Series. I was rooting for the Cardinals all the way, but as I watched them in the playoff, they deserved to lose. They were making errors left and right, which led to many runs. They looked tired and drained, and there just wasn’t any life in them. I met a lot of people who had tickets to the games or were shopping around. One guy had 4 consecutive seats and was offered $10,000. Most single tickets were selling for $1,500. The White Sox franchise had an offer where a season ticket holder for 2006 had first choice on a playoff ticket. So, they sold the majority of World Series tickets that way. Outside my apartment, I could hear fireworks and (guns?) going off after they won the final game.
Yesterday was 49/59ยข hamburger/cheeseburgers day at McDonalds. I was all over that. I think the cheese at McD’s is nasty, so I got 5 plain hamburgers. I slapped on a slice of my own sharp cheddar, stacked the 5 patties and had a hell of a meal. The rest was for the birds.
The line at McD’s was just as I expected. It wrapped all the way from the counter to the entrance. Luckily, the neighborhood I live in doesn’t have the brightest people. I spotted a short line at the far end that wasn’t connected to the larger one and joined it. That trick saved me at least 15 minutes of wait time. I also picked up one of the nutrition brocures while I waited. According to the charts I had 61g of fat from the hamburgers, med fries, + sharp cheddar cheese. But what do I care?
