The Simpsons in HD

Well, this week's Simpsons didn't turn out as bad as I thought it would. The new opening is fine, but it's going to look dated once everyone has HDTV. As for the episode, there were a few good moments, but the dragging along of long, unfunny gags continues. Add to that, the second half of the show was really confusing once all the flashbacks started and when I noticed that they seem to have added an extra commercial break.

My growing rage over YouTube's in-video pop-up ads and more anger at copyright Nazis like News Corp. and WMG led me to swear off of YouTube on Thursday night. Tonight, I gave up that fight. It seems like there are so many lost causes in my life. I tried to stop shopping at Wal-Mart, but they ended up being the only store in Clayton that has good milk (I still don't know what happened to Lowes Foods) and I was forced to shop there.

OWWWW!

Every winter, I get shocked constantly. I don't know how it happens to me more than other people or why it hurts me so much when it doesn't hurt others. All I know is... OWWWW!!! For some time now, whenever I have to touch something metallic such as a file cabinet, I hesitate. Shouldn't there be a way to prevent this? It's well known that static sparks can cause explosions in certain environments. I mean, we can send a man to the moon, but we can't keep a man from sending himself to kingdom come merely because of a tiny spark. In the meantime... OWWWWWWW!!!!
