Doo-Wop, Shoo-Wop
Shafe'd call it Global Warming, I'd call it Standard Illinois Weather, and loonies would call it the Wrath of God, but whatever you call it, the Weather continues to be bezerk out in these parts. Yesterday was in the sixties, then the massive storm hit all across the state, now it's in the teens. Lovely. Here's hoping I don't get sick again today.
It's kinda funny how in today's day and age, where everything seems to be about Choice, how few I've got. On the TV front, I've got four channels that come in: 1) The world's worst Fox affiliate (how bad is my Fox station? They preempted American Idol for a College Basketball game. Now, admittedly, I wasn't going to watch either Idol (screw that stupid show) or the Ball Game (snore), but my point is that my local Fox preempted the most popular show in America. Yeesh), 2. PBS, 3. Channel 13 which shows a mix of infomercials, religious programming, and old, old syndicated TV shows (Guess who watched Gomer Pyle last night), and 4. Channel 24 which is like an even lamer version of Channel 13.
Radio's no better. I've got four channels that come in that Don't play Country music. One of those channels mostly plays Pop or Golden Oldies, so I don't listen to it much. One channel used to play Classic Rock, but they changed formats and now play Lite Rock, so I don't listen to that channel anymore. One channel still plays Classic Rock, although their playlist could use some work. And, finally, one channel plays College Alterna-Rock (which nowadays ain't much different than Pop...). How lame is my morning drive to work? Three of the four channels play the Illinois Farm Report at the same time, which is the most boring broadcast EVER. Yet, I still end up listening to it almost every morning because that's how much I hate most of the songs on the College Radio Station.
The Moral: I need to get rich so I can afford Dish Network and Sirius Radio (or at least a CD Player for my car). For today's cheap plug, you can help in that endevor by heading over to www.torcpress.com/comicshop.html and buying a comic or three. (Actually, I'm kidding. Any money I make on comics goes right back into making more comics, not purchasing cool stuff. Responcibility and whatnot.)
Speaking of the Comic, got two pages inked last night. Hoo-Ha!
