How About A Gold W?

As I mentioned on Monday, Mitch Hedberg released an album of mostly new material that was recorded in 2005 just before his death. If you’re a fan, listen to it, you will laugh.

In addition to that, I also had a listen to Metallica’s new album Death Magnetic. I had heard the single “The Day That Never Comes” on the radio a few times, and everyone who talked about the album said it was a lot less like St. Anger and a lot more like Ride The Lightning. I’d say that I mostly agree with them, aside from James’ singing. I’d say it’s worth a listen, especially if you were a Metallica fan that was turned away by the atrocity that was St. Anger.

In other news, today is my day off. Last night after work Ben and Jenn accompanied Robert and myself to the bar. Mae was in River Falls with friends so she didn’t make it. I broke the pinky toe on my left foot over the weekend, and the swelling is just starting to go down. The black and blue coloring in my foot is going away too. I guess I picked up a cold somewhere this week too because I felt like crap on Tuesday and Wednesday, but DayQuil is helping out with that.

There is a little over a month left for our remodel at work. We’ve slowly been getting more and more cameras online and moving further and further away from the archaic CCTV system and moving to the new all digital system. Soon our office won’t be cluttered with the CCTV system alongside the two digital video workstations and we can reclaim our desk space.

I’m not entirely sure what the plans are for the rest of the day, Mae has school followed by work tonight, so she won’t be around until 9:30 or so. Might head over to BWW with dad and Liz (and possibly Jenny) for dinner. Otherwise ramen will suffice.

That is all.

Two Things Of Note

Not a whole lot to update on, it was a pretty average weekend. I broke my baby toe on my left foot, everything else was pretty boring..

Two things of note though for today:

1) Minnesota Twins name new stadium “Target Field” – Target Corp. signed an estimated $100M deal with the Minnesota Twins for naming rights in a 25 year deal for the new 40,000 seat stadium.

2) Mitch Hedberg released a new album on September 9th, Do You Believe In Gosh? If you’re a fan, or maybe even if you aren’t, you should listen. I did, twice, and I laughed more than I have in a while. There are a few of his older jokes mixed in, but it’s nearly all new material.

That is all.
