Is Anything On?

So the other day as I pecked away at the ol' keyboard with the T.V. on in the background, I thought to myself is that a girl or a guy? The "that" being one of the contestants on American Idol. At first glance and listen it could of gone either way like most of the contestants I saw. Then the channel was changed and I realized I didn't care that the channel was changed. Not only did I not care to hear the performances or watch the show, I was so uninterested in the program I didn't want to find the answer to the question of what "it" was (guy, I found out the next morning from a radio program). Then I began to think about T.V. in general and thought, wow, there really is nothing on. Think about it, one network will think of a "new" idea and do several versions of it (C.S.I., C.S.I.:Miami, C.S.I.:NY, Law and Order, Law and Order:SVU, etc.) or that same idea will be used on all the networks with their little "twists" think doctor/hospital shows. Then the thought came to mind that the writers are back certainly they will have gotten inspiration during the time away in the strike, but that thought died quickly strangled by the fact that these are the writers that wrote that other crap in the first place. Perhaps I am missing the happy land of cable or satellite T.V. but I doubt it. Yeah its nice sometimes to sit down relax and just watch a little boob tube, but at the end of the day does it really matter to you if Joe Dirt, from Littletown, U.S.A. wins $285,000 on Deal or No Deal? Does it really change your life if pretend agent so-and-so defuses a bomb in time, the fictional criminal finally is caught by the D.N.A. he left on a Q-tip in a garbage can in the neighbor's bathroom two houses down from the crime scene, this character is finally dating that character, or what's-his-name got voted off? No, its just entertainment. So who cares if nothing or something is on, we all have better things to do right! Who's with me?

Alright, now that I've got that off my chest, could you pass me the remote? I'm just going to check if anything is on. CS

Puzzle

Have you heard of a mystery puzzle? If you haven't, mystery puzzles are like a normal puzzle except there is no picture to look at to put it together, there is included with the puzzle a short story to read and from the finished puzzle and the story you solve a mystery. It is actually quite fun and extremely frustrating/addicting. With the help of some friends, shout out to Darren C, and some family members, Jeff and Barb, this particular mystery puzzle was solved. I hope that I don't ruin this for anyone, I am putting it here as a trophy to those who labored in solving it but were unable to see its completion.

Puzzles are like people, some have weirder looking pieces than others.
