Popcorn Songs

If all goes as planned, I will be picking up my new bedframe after work today and assembling it tonight.

I have one of those Tempurpedic mattresses and I like it. I do not like the 'platform' style box spring that it comes with. The tempurpedic mattress works like a futon, it has to be on a hard flat surface. Since I broke my bed frame last Sunday, I've been sleeping with the mattress on the floor. It is *so* much more comfortable that way. I thought, this is perfect: I'll find a platform bed frame and just use the mattress.

Well, many platform beds just use more slats, rather than a solid bottom (especially the cheap ones). And, it turns out that platform beds are only 'all the rage' (or whatever I said) on my froogle searches. Local furniture stores don't seem to carry them. My trip to three stores netted me one $1200 bed frame option. At least it had a solid wood bottom.

So, I'm still searching for a bed solution.

No kidding. I'd like to make up some fantastic story about what I was doing that caused a clean snap in the metal. I think I'll let your imagination work. No, sex was *not* involved in the harming of the bed.



So, I'll be shopping for a new bed frame on Saturday. Platform beds are all the rage now it seems.

I will be at Bud's Bar in Audubon Wednesday night (12/14), drinking and singing. I have it on the authority of at least one woman who never wants to see me again, that I'm damn good at karaoke. (As if I needed any more evidence that I don't get people in general, and women in less-general.)

I hooked up my Comcast HDTV tuner/DVR today. We'll see how addictive that gets.

Hello, [adult swim].

No kidding. About an hour into what became the 2 hour driveway extravaganza, I bent one of those fancy, 'better-for-your-back' snowshovels in half. Luckily, I didn't impale myself on it. So, a fter a 30 minute trip to Sears Hardware, I was back in business. It was like intermission. But they didn't have the popcorn machine going. The Sears Hardware up the road from me has one of those old-fashioned popcorn machines on wheels, but I guess the only bring it out on Sundays. Phooey.



How about that hat! Yea, it's nap time.

As you can see, I took some shortcuts. I didn't want to be out there 2 more hours, or break another shovel.



Since clothes come in tall sizes, why don't snowshovels? Even the ones with the curve in them aren't tall enough for me. I still have to bend way over and destroy my back. Am I doing it wrong? Anyone want to demonstrate the proper way to shovel my driveway?
