TV and Other Thoughts

We are headed back to California for a friend's wedding this morning, so just some quick thoughts today....

• The house phone in our rented home keeps ringing every few hours. When I answer it, there's no one on the line. Or it's a telemarketer. I'm not sure why I keep answering the phone, since I don't even know what the phone number is. Probably better stop.
• Saw this on Monday, and the best description I came up with was that Vanilla Ice is now the mayor of Munchkinland. Once the music hit, I was convinced that I must be hallucinating.
• I was watching some TV today, and they were advertising the upcoming Chicago Bulls basketball season. Which made me realize that I will probably be seeing a lot of this guy if I watch any basketball this year. Which seems to me like a good reason to not watch basketball this year.
• I also saw a commercial for a promotion that US Cellular is doing out here. It's called BatterySwap, and it is actually a very interesting promotion. The basics are that if your cell phone battery is dead, just go into one of their stores, and swap it for a new one. No cost. I wonder if anyone else is going to do this soon.

There's a post scheduled for Friday morning, but probably nothing until Tuesday after that one.
