  My Simpsons Season 4 DVDs showed up in the mail today. Sometimes that Amazon free shipping will surprise you- it just left their warehouses on Monday.
This season contains several of what could be called my favorite episodes (which is hard to say, since I have so many "favorites") including Homer The Heretic, A Streetcar Named Marge, Marge Vs. The Monorail, Brother From The Same Planet, Mr. Plow, Whacking Day, and Treehouse of Horror III. Not to put down in any way the other episodes in the season, since as we all know The Simpsons never had even a mediocre episode between seasons 2 and 8.
Each and every one ranks between great and genius. Tomorrow I go down to LA. For a while there today it was looking like the trip was going to fall through, since a certain game company was being snooty about the amount of space they were getting and threatening to call the whole thing off.
But in the end they folded like a card table and the trip was back on. So tomorrow I have to get up early and hop on a plane out of San Jose at 8:50 and head down to LAX won't get back to San Jose 'till around 7:15 at night. I'll probably be killing some time down there, unless they let me play the game for all 8 hours. You know the saying "there's no such thing as a free lunch? " Well, today I got a free 5x5 from In-N-Out, and the only price was having a picture of me stuffing it in my face printed in a nationally published magazine read by around 300,000 people.
On top of that, I got free pizza courtasy of Sony Online Entertainment while checking out EverQuest II. I am, after all, the MMO guy... for some reason. After all that on top of this last weekend of gorging myself, I'm thinking it may be time to get back on the whole diet thing again.
