Well holy CRAP. A few more sleeps, and freedom. My wife and kids are flying to grandma's for a week. That's 7 full days and nights of absolute FREEDOM.



YEEHAW!!!



I get to live like a single person again. A week of fast food, beer, pub food for supper every night... this is going to be great.



To tell you the truth, I'm wondering if I'll be able to fill the time in. I'm so used to the whole "supper/bath/play/1 hr of TV/bedtime stories/sleep" routine that I'm afraid I'm going to be looking for things to keep me busy. Good thing all of my old girlfriends and booty calls live 3 hours+ away from me.



Uh... uh oh. I can stay out all night now and have a new vehicle... shit.



So, any single guys here want to tell me what the hell single guys are doing these days? All my friends (real ones, not the "on the internet" ones.. heh heh) are are serving life sentences... I mean... married, too. I have no idea what free men do nowadays.



If I do anything too crazy I'll post pics. I have the weekend to plan it out.



heh heh

    Go to a bar.

    Drink.

    Go to another bar.

    Drink, maybe eat a bit.



    Repeat until blur.

    You could read some editorials, do a crossword, wonder what color of panties Fairuza Balk is wearing (I'm guessing black), play guitar, go online, go out and have a beer and meet some new people and chat, people-watch, think about what toe-ring would look best on Sheryl Crow, drink another beer, check out the news on TV to see the latest, go on iChat, log off iChat, post at AppleInsider, get a call from a friend and meet them for a late dinner, have a beer, come home, change guitar strings, work on a personal website that never gets finished, break down and do the easy crossword, flip around the channels, ignore AppleInsider, encode some more CDs, organize your iTunes playlists, go online and look at font collections, take a hot bath with a beer and the latest Macworld, watch some more TV, invite the neighbor over for a (you guessed it) beer, get into bed and pull the covers up tight, set the TV on 60 minute sleep timer and watch Craig Kilborn until you doze off.



    Oh wait...that's what I do.

    'Craig Killborn' is that the tall blond guy on the late late show?



    If so, he is the worst of the worst!!!! . . . every time I see him I can't help but think that he got the job because of someone that his father knows . . . or some east-coast private school frat boy networking pay-off . . . cause it sure has NOTHING to do with his "skills" as a host... or his so called humor

    Lame Lame Lame!!!

    So what are you trying to say?



    At his absolute worst, he beats the hell out of that old gasbag Letterman. Want to talk about someone not being funny and possessing no "hosting" skills?



    I've been watching him the past few months (because I'm usually up that late) and I can't believe just how tired, lame and unfunny that show is. Paul Schaffer is still doing the same stupid schtick with that same stupid laugh as he was 10-15 years ago.



    Norm McDonald NAILED that Letterman impersonation on SNL a few years ago: detached, inside jokes, goofy faces at the camera, awful interviewing, non-sequiters, giving away self-consciously hip "parting gifts" for participating audience members like canned ham.







    Talk about someone who needs to grab the money and retire the lame little dog-and-pony show.



    Kilborn and O'Brien both mop the floor with their respective lead-ins Letterman and Leno.



    If there was any justice in the world, Leno and Letterman would be canned immediately, O'Brien on NBC at 11:30, Kilborn on CBS at 11:30 and Jon Stewart on ABC at 11:30.



    THEN you'd have some latenight entertainment worth giving a damn about.



    Kilborn is funnier walking to his desk than Lettermen is in 60 minutes of heavy-handed mugging and increasingly idiotic and labored "Top 10 Lists".

    He went from Sportscenter to The Daily Show -- which I think he did a good job with, since Jon Stewart is just too damn cynical even for me -- to Late Late. While I do prefer Conan immensely, Killbourne hosts what I'd call a very pleasant show, and I have a bunch of friends who seem to like it.

    O'brian is actually funny





    killborn is like watching a film-school geek at a 'cast' party...





    letterman is stale





    but all of it is a waste of time anyway...





    go out and DO something....change the world.....on your week off

    Some Weird Sin - Iggy Pop



    I never got my

    License to live

    They won't give it up

    So I stand at the world's edge

    I'm trying to break in

    Oh I know it's not for me

    And the sight of it all

    Makes me sad and ill

    That's when I want

    Some weird sin

    Things get too straight

    I can't bear it

    I feel stuck

    Stuck on a pin

    I'm trying to break in

    Oh I know it's not for me

    And the sight of it all

    Makes me sad and ill

    That's when I want

    Some weird sin

    That's when I want

    Some weird sin

    Just to relax with

    Yeah some dumb weird sin

    For a while anyway

    With my head on the ledge

    That's wath you get

    Out on the edge

    Some weird sin

    Things get too straight

    I can't bear it

    I feel stuck

    Stuck on a pin

    I'm trying to break in

    Oh I know it's not for me

    And the sight of it all

    Makes me sad and ill

    That's when I want

    Some weird sin

    That's when I want

    Some weird sin

    Just to relax with

    Yeah some weird sin

    For a while anyway

    With my head on the ledge

    That's wath you get

    Out on the edge

    Some weird sin

    Some weird sin

    Some weird sin



    And now Artman @_@ bids farewell. Off to Dirty Franks...follow me, murbot! <img src="graemlins/cancer.gif" border="0" alt="[cancer]" />

    Oh man, this is funny. I was going to reply to some of these posts, but I have to go change a couple of diapers and put one daughter to bed.



    *sigh*



    Just a few more sleeps...

    Jeez...



    a) That's a matter of opinion. One man's "waste of time" is another's enjoyable "wind down" period. It's 12:30 at night, for crying out loud. Give the world-weary angst a rest.



    b) Again, it's 12:30 at night. "Changing the world" can wait until morning. No protest marches or rallys really going on at this time of night, it seems.







    It's not my week off (not quite sure where that came from), but thanks anyway for all the life advice and encouragement. Unsolicited, of course...always the best kind.

    I'm in a similar position. No kids but the wife and I are in two different cities due to a job change coupled with a slow job market. During the week I'm in Ann Arbor and then on Friday I head back to Chicago.



    Things I do? Wash my car once a week. Work extra hours and take half of Friday off. Post here like a ranting lunatic. Go out to eat at least once a week. Buy CDs for the drive. Cook and make lunch. Go shopping twice a week at least. Other stuff.



    It was fun for a while but now I just hate it. Either have to find a job for the wife in Shithole Arbor or get a job back in Chicago.

    You need to go for the world record that was meant for you murbot.



    1.) Sell old Mac.

    2.) Buy new Mac.

    3.) Sell new Mac.

    4.) Buy new Mac.

    Repeat as necessary.



    See if you can own every single one of Apple's current lineup within a one week period.



    Or you could just get drunk. What do I know? I'm only up because I'm visiting my brother at his dorm this weekend and the fire alarm went off at 4:45. Nothing like standing outside in your bathrobe in below zero wind chill temperatures for 45 minutes to get your day going.

    Thanks for the tips, guys. I'm thinking my week will look the most like pscates' nights do, minus the crosswords.



    I think I'll get a head start on my golf season too by hitting the heated outdoor range at least a few times. It's pretty neat, huge gas heaters mounted above the mats... hands still get a little cool though.



    Too bad it wasn't a week or so later... won't be able to order the new iMac until Tuesday it looks like, and I'm sure it won't show up until the next week. Would have been a perfect chance to have a few days uninterrupted setup time. Oh well.



    Of course, the other tips to "go out and drink" haven't been ignored either!! I'm sure I'll do that a few times.



    I'll love the first few days, then I'll get kind of bored and miss having them around. Won't hear that "DAAAAADDDYYYYYY" when the doorknob turns.... that's pretty damn cool.



    BTW, Scott, that really sucks man. Have you had to do that for long? I can't imagine how tough that would be... a week is one thing, but long term would be tough. No wonder you leak out the odd nasty post.

    I watch Leno all the time. Like every Monday for 15 minutes.



    Headlines are freakin' hilarious. Unfortunately, it's mostly downhill from there.



    Conan is the king of late night. Long live the king.

    Yep. The Headlines are definately the best reason to watch.
