Socks are not the problem and other pieces of random shit.

• Back when I worked for Lord&Sons I had several pairs of good work gloves. Today? Can't find any of them.


• A trip to OSH is in order.


• Or back to L&S. Be nice to see people again.


• On the other hand, a culling of my socks is in order.


• Have to get rid of the odd ones, worn ones, and the few that just don't fit right.


• Still wondering what happened to one of my awesome fuzzy socks.


• Our TV decided to die.


• No Earth-shattering kaboom, just refused to turn on.


• Luckily, kshandra was on the job and found us a new set on Craigslist.


• Got for way cheaper than what it was going for online, and we have a proper, if small, widescreen at last.


• Of course, this means I need to save up for another Ikea run now.


• Needed a new set for several reasons. Mostly that playoff baseball is beginning, and the Giants and A's both won their divisions!


• The A's did it by sweeping the Texas Rangers in the final three game series of the year. Very dramatic and a great story.


• But over on the SFGate, when Giants fans tried to congratulate the A's and their fans, we got attacked.


• I have never seen such an inferiority complex before in sports.


• I blame Bud Selig.


• The 49ers are doing well, the Sharks are locked out, and I couldn't care less about the Warriors.


• Oh, and the Raiders SUCK! (again)


• Going to see the restored Lawrence of Arabia tonight as part of the 50th anniversary celebration.


• I got to see this years ago in a restored 70mm print. Unbelievable.
