9976 – too much tv.

Leave a comment

Making a change in the house – switching off cable television. (well, actually, DirecTV)

We decided a while back that we watch way too much tv… then, when the dvr broke, and DirecTV gave us shoddy customer service, that clinched it. They promised us a new box and instead they wanted to charge us more for a refurbished model than give us our replacement for free, like they said that they would.

Looking at the shows that either BHK or I record, we figured it was a good thing to just cancel our service, and get what we want via netflix or online.

Here’s what we had on the save list to follow and/or catch up on. It may be a bit obvious which I lean towards, and which are BHK’s.

Hint, BHK’s are in italics, mine are in bold. Both… are both.

9975 – weekend update

Leave a comment

William, Bryce, Dominic, Dalton, (and Donnie , but he was outside, and didn’t come in) came over for a surprise visit and afternoon of Wii gaming. It seems that Bryce and William’s own Wii was broken, and so they figured they’d swing by our place for some goofing around and general fun.

Bryce was the rare talent today – creamed us at Wii bowling and barely lost mario party 8…. not to mention being a surprise champ at Hey, That’s my fish, and Labyrinth. 

It was a pleasant, though chaotic visit… the kids were all very well mannered. They all just piled out of the house to go home to dinner.
 
(Damien wasn’t here tonight, but he did check out haunted.scottobear.com for the Callis Haunted Adventure earlier this week.

In other gaming news, I won mario party 8 and blokus at the Nailles on Friday night — the trophy is ours once more!

trophy!

Won the trophy back – my win was via mario party 8 and blokus at the Naille’s house.

So far, the trick to winning was to play as a visitor, rather than a home game.

William, Bryce, Dominic, Dalton, Donnie and Damien were here tonight, to check out haunted.scottobear.com for the Callis Haunted Adventure. My friendly effort to help out William.

halloween poe tour gig is over – heading to the diner for some grilled cheese and maybe a natty boh for late night din-din. bhk says that a canadian lesbian in a crab hat was "into" me. i suspect otherwise, but it’s nice to be thought handsome by a random passer-by.

Halloween -War of the worlds , monkey’s paw, classics

Leave a comment

Classic, and certainly needed!

An aircheck from Halloween night 1973. A night of radio drama starting with a local version of War of the Worlds, Arch Obler’s "The Darkness", a show on Vampires, A ghost story called "The Bed", "People Places and Things – a 30" piece on UFO’s. Including actual commercials from the time period in Buffalo, NY. All pieces were performed by DJ’s at the station at the time.

The DJ for the War of the Worlds was known as Shane, who seemed to be the archetype for the hip DJ of the time.

The first time the station aired their version of WotW several years previously, even though it was promoted heavily, police departments were called and even the National Guard was called to the Grand Island bridges! For several years afterwards it was aired with a new beginning for newer songs and dj’s but the final cutaway to the newsroom on track 10 is original.

The other pieces are very good but my favorites are ‘The Darkness’ and ‘The Monkey’s paw’. Please enjoy!
