David’s Random Thoughts

Many months ago I found an online article claiming the return of the Jell-O Pudding Pop. Since that time I have searched the grocery store over looking for this elusive delicacy but to no avail. Until this past Saturday when a close friend of mine, who knew of my Pudding Pop obsession called to inform me that she had finally found them.

Well, today I went out and bought myself a box. I was half excited and half scared. With most things that were once discontinued and then re-introduced from my childhood I was afraid that the taste of the Pudding Pops would be different than I remember and thus a huge let down. To my surprise they taste exactly as they did before. Though the new ones are a bit smaller than the ones I grew up on but that’s a trade off that worth making.

So rejoice my friends! Go, buy Pudding Pops until your hearts are content and your stomach’s are aching! We must make sure they are still around for our kids to enjoy!

So, last week I switched cell phone providers, from Verizon to Cingular. I had service with Verizon since 1999 and never had any problems until I moved to Cape a little over a year ago. I won’t go into details but after dealing with the problem for over a year my contract finally expired and I made the switch.

After extensive research I decided on the LG CU500 model phone. My past two phones have been LG and I really like their devices. This one is no different. It has great functionality, a nice big LCD screen and overall it seems to be a good phone. The only draw back is that it doesn’t have built in voice dial capabilities and I won’t pay $4 extra a month to use Cingular’s version. Anyway, the reason for this post is to rave about how much fun it is to create my own ringtones.

I simply love the USB interface provided on all the Cingular phones. I opted to buy my USB cable from a third party because it was much cheaper and it came with software to help edit/create ringtones as well as manage data, pictures and video on the phone. I’ve already filled up the phones built-in memory with ringtones. But not to worry last night I ordered a 2GB microSD card to help alleviate that problem.  With that much space I’ll be able to create a specific ringtone for every one of my contacts if feel so inclined.

In last nights dream me and my friend Pete, a.k.a Spider-man, were hanging out fighting some run of the mill thugs when Carnage attacked Spidey. Now I know how difficult it is for Spidey to beat Carnage so obviously I started helping. Knowing that my super powers would greatly help out. As I pulled Carnage off of Spidey he was in his symbiote blob form and it was like pulling stretchy jelly off of someone. Then Carnage began to attach himself to me. I knew that would be bad because he could possible take on some of my powers which would make him extremely hard to beat.

When I had finally gotten him pulled of me, I wadded him up in a ball was holding on to all of his tentacles to prevent him from re-attaching to me. I asked Spidey how we should handle him now and he said that he didn’t really know. I thought for a moment and decided that I should throw him into space. Thus eliminating the Carnage symbiote threat forever.

Sadly, my real like human side couldn’t believe that I could throw him into space and as I learned long ago, if I don’t believe I can do something in a dream then I can’t do it. So I wound up spinning my arm around as fast as I could and then letting go of Carnage to hurl him into space. I watched as he went up, didn’t quite break the atmosphere and then came back down to earth. The good part was he landed very far away from us so I figured we had at least taken care of him for now. About that time he came swinging back to where we were and tried to attack again. I repeated this throwing attempt several times but always with the same result. Finally I decided to fly up as far as I could and then throw. Again being limited by real life I could fly up as far as I wanted to so I found the highest rooftop, landed and threw him again. Still he came right back down where we were.

So I thought about it again and decided that we could freeze the symbiote he would be out of commission and then we could figure out a way to get him into space. So, holding on to him tightly I tried to find the coldest freezer I could find. Luckily I was now at a mall. I asked all of the food court restaurants until I found one that said their freezer held a steady temperature of nine degrees. I explained that I was carrying an alien that if not frozen could ultimately destroy humanity and I needed their freezer to stop him. (How Carnage could destroy humanity I’ll never know.)

So I went in to find the freezer. I had assumed I would find a big walk in freezer but instead it was a standard refrigerator freezer. I knew as long as it was cold enough that it would still work but when I opened it it was slightly warm. I checked the controls and it was set at medium so I lowered and closed the door waiting for it get colder. All this time the Carnage symbiote has be wiggling around in my hand/arm and I had to keep readjusting how I held him so he couldn’t escape. Finally I decided to put him in a sandwich sized zip top bag, put that inside a gallon sized zip top back, put that inside a plastic grocery bag, tie it off and throw it in the freezer. Trying to get a living goo inside a small zip bag was not easy but I finally accomplished it and threw him in the freezer.

Unfortunately I woke up before I could retrieve my frozen Carnage symbiote and figure out a way to launch him into space.

For those who may not know I’m a huge fan of Scrubs.  The episode that aired this past Thursday was the Scrubs Musical.  It is by far my favorite episode of all time.  I will go so far as to say that it was probably the half-hour episode on TV this season.

If you haven’t watched it, or any of Scurbs, I highly recommend that you do and soon.  You are truly missing out on one of the funniest shows on TV.

In other news, once again I was let down by the weather man.  No snow this past weekend.  :(

Well it looks like we may finally get some snow this weekend.  Whoo-hoo!  We did have some a couple of days ago for about 2 or 3 hours but it didn’t even turn the ground white.  This time it looks like we’ll at least get a good snow shower or two and maybe a dusting on the ground.  I would be extremely surprised if we got more than a half an inch accumliation.

In other news, we finally posted “John Woo” Star Wars on YouTube.  So be sure to stop by and rate it and even leave a comment.
