So I’m back at Jaxan’s. Watching the football. And trying to figure out Jaxan’s TV. because right now it’s all standard def and pretty much not worth watching. Yes, Hi-Def has absolutely spoiled me rotten, and rightly so. Have you seen this shit?



Miles only making it Yards at a time now
My doggy is now officially 10 years old. He’s gone like a bat out of hell and the Engergizer Bunny rolled into one for most of that time. But now, he’s beginning to show his age, and it seems like all at once. This started last year from what I can remember. It used to be last summer that when I’d go running a couple of mornings through the week, we’d go to this nearby park and he’d chase the ground squirrels with zest. 6 months later, and he got to the point where he didn’t seem to care. Before, he was like “GROUND SQUIRRELS! I WANT ONE! I MUST HAVE ONE!” Now, he’s like “GROUND SQUIRRELS!! Those are far away. Eh, this patch of grass is pretty interesting…”

Today, we were racing through a field next to a dog park I take the puppies to, and Miles was keeping up with me. Keeping up with me. For the last 10 years, he’s made me look silly for trying. Now he’s keeping up with me. Sigh.

I’m extremely saddened by this. I mean, he’s still healthy as a horse, but now I have to really try to keep him in shape. See, some of his recent slowdown is related to an ankle injury he suffered about a month ago that sidelined him for the better part of two weeks. Miles has been on the sidelines for the better part of this last month or so. He’s gotten to the point where if he’s not exercised like every other day, he gets sore if we do something big, like hiking. BUT, if we get out regularly, he stays fit enough to NOT get overly sore from our adventures. But how much longer can this last? How long until he’s just a porch dog? I know he doesn’t want that, which just makes it harder. He’ll always want to go, but at some point I’ll have to make the executive decision to leave him behind.
And maybe I’ll have to get a Miles Replacement puppy a lot earlier than I had wanted/intended. Neither Miles nor The Girl will be very happy about this. Hell, I’m not very happy about this. Dammit.



Coors Light: Shut up…
What is up with their new damn commercials? The overly fake dubbing of Bill Walsh and whoever else conversing with some stupid dumbasses pretending to be only mildly amusing, and failing. Makes me want to go and buy some Miller Genuine Draft or something right now. And I don’t even drink, but I just want to stick it to them for insulting all of our collective intelligence. You know, like a boycott or something.

Seriously, can’t they just show those commercials south of the Mason-Dixon line? Targeted marketing, I’ve heard of it.



Heroes
“Save the Cheerleader, save the world.”

Have the writers seen their own show? Look, the cheerleader doesn’t need saving, she needs some platform shoes and that’s about it. And maybe a bodyguard, what with all the perverts thinking she’s a little too cute in that outfit.

I like the show. It’s exactly like Lost, only a little different ;-). I mean, they have superpowers, man! But the whole design of the show is such a Lost ripoff, it’s not even funny. Well actually, that’s not entirely true. The first episode I watched, they used the exact same fade-in/fade-out sound effect that Lost uses. So that us Lost viewers would feel right at home. And I laughed, because it was funny. So there.

Peace.
