Totally Random Tidbits

susandennisIt has been more than 50 degrees out for many many days now and there is still a 4-5 foot pile of snow surrounding the light poles in the Qwest Field parking lot.
The Mariners' broadcasting schedule is so far showing major foo signs. The website is either wrong or leaving out major info. The radio station that bought the games is using FM for the Spring Training games (this is actually good news) and AM for the regular season games (this is screwed up). The Google group calendar has not been updated for 2009 and the TV schedule is AWOL entirely. Do not fuck with my baseball. Please?
I know there is a never-before-used shower curtain liner in this house. What I do not know is where it is. The only sure fire way to find it is to go buy a new one. I'm guessing the current one will show it's plastic holes within a week of buying a new one.
There is a new and so far reviewed favorably burger joint near here. Just north of Costco in a new little tiny strip mall. I have it on the list of things to do.
The replacement USB backup drive arrived today instead of tomorrow like UPS promised. What's up with that?? Backup now happening. I'll do one onto that USB drive and one onto another spare drive I have and then probably do the Windows 7 install.
Since I gave up reading the local daily newspaper in print form (that's gotten to be a rather cumbersome way to identify something that used to be able to be done in one or two words) - I've found a lot of very satisfying news sources that I now consult daily. I'm loving all of them but geesh it's a real time soaker. I just got capsule coverage of an important local governmental meeting going on this morning - in tweets. I'll get the full story later but I love getting the tweets. I'm fascinated to conjure on what all daily news gathering/disseminating will look like in 2 and 5 and 10 years.
Stephen Lynch - my favorite comedian/performer of all - is doing a concert in Seattle in May. It's at a small theater downtown. I don't know how I'm going to get home (probably cab) after but I am going to figure out some way because I'm going to have to go.

Fox Sports only bought the (exclusive) TV rights a month ago, considering what a crap season Seattle had, I'm not surprised they haven't put out a schedule yet. I figure you'd be okay with the webcasts...

If I worried about crappy seasons, I'd be routing for another team altogether.
