2008 Fall TV Schedule - CW

The countdown continues of my favorite 100 photos... today is number 37...


















This was a timelapse exposure on Xmas Eve last year of Invesco Field that I thought turned out quite nicely...

________

After hiking on Sunday we stopped at a particular convenience store because "the Jesster" (nickname pending) insisted that it was the only place in Colorado that sold Habanero potato chips that she so loves... I had a few and they are indeed hot.. if by "hot" you mean that the act of eating just two of them is equal to placing your tongue inside an active volcano...

...anyway, I again came across one of these signs....



















for the (hopefully) last time... it's not "ATM Machine".... which is of course is short for "Automated Teller Machine Machine"....

that is horribly, awfully, terribly redundant... just "ATM".. okay?

(The next day I saw another "ATM Machine" sign outside of Coors Field... so apparently they're everywhere... but I will not rest until this phrase is removed from our language... along with "PIN Number"... sigh...)

______

Finishing our looksee at the upcoming Network Fall Schedules... today it's the CW's turn...

(looking at their programming clearly if you're not a 16 year old girl then you have no business having this network in your channel lineup... so, if you're not a 16 year old girl and you want to just skip the rest of this entry my feelings won't be hurt...)

... is "The CW" the worst Network name ever? It's gotta be top five... did you know that there is now a "CI" channel? It's the "Crime & Investigation" network... because that's so underserved now on the networks with the 8 trillion "CSI"-type programs... but for those of you who love to watch good looking people with lab coats do stuff in a lab with rock music in the background... well, your time has come....

anyway....

Show I'd rather be eaten alive by boll weevils than watch: 90210 (worst promo for a new show I've ever seen... yes, including "Knight Rider"...)
Shows coming midseason: Are you kidding? They don't even know about Sundays yet... I'm slowly beginning to suspect that the reason all the shows are geared towards 16 year old girls is that the network is actually run by 16 year old girls...

2008 Fall TV Schedule - CBS

Number 40 of my 100 Fav photos is....


















a shot of the inside of a hot air balloon while it inflated... we took that trip a few Christmases ago....

If you're a huge Star Trek geek fan, you would have to always rent a car from Enterprise, right? I mean, there's no other option there... You call, someone answers "Enterprise, can I help you?" and you're imagining Lt. Uhura on the other end of the line, right? That's got to be a thrill I'd imagine.... Why isn't Enterprise Rent-A-Car an active participant in the ad campaign for the new Trek film coming out next summer? Isn't this just obvious? Kind of like UPS sponsoring Big Brown in the Preakness Stakes this weekend? I'm probably overthinking this.... or I need coffee... it's a tossup at this point....

Alan: Look, it's my first date in over thirty-five years; I would like memorable instead of low-key.
Don: Low-key and memorable aren't mutually exclusive. You know what my favorite date ever was? Pepperoni pizza at a laundromat.
Alan: Yes, which explains the conspicuous absence of grandchildren.
