As a small aside:
My daughter needed to ask her Grandpa various questions for a school project. One of the questions was "What is his favorite food to eat for breakfast?"

His answer: "Oatmeal"

So, yes drooling in oatmeal may be a coming of age thing.

I have recently become very enamored of oatmeal for breakfast myself. A little honey, butter and cinnamon and I'm thoroughly happy.

So I watched the Chiefs on Monday Night Football last week because like, I had the channel on already and I was like woah wtf the Chiefs are on tv? And they won, so this week I was like hmm, maybe they will win again so I found a radio stream to listen to, and they won again.

These are the first two Chiefs games I've followed in nearly 10 years (or maybe less), and I'm also pretty sure that these are the first two games they've won in the last 10 years. Coincidence?

OK I quickly skimmed the food debate since I was in Austin all weekend, but I have to stick up for In and Out.

Those fries are wonderful. Sometimes I'll get two orders just because.

Also I'm told it's not normally that humid in Austin but that was horrible this weekend. Awful.

Don't your books tell you that lactose in the morning is really bad (I'm assuming you eat it with milk)?
That's the last trend I randomly picked up. Eat stuff X at time Y, lose weight in your sleep, reduce diabetes risk. Also noone gets enough B12 or something, these health advisory thingies are pretty funny

if you have verizon wireless and are willing to pay $10 a month you can get it through v-cast.

Whoever told you that is delusional. Then again, I grew up in West Texas with ~10% humidity. The storms this weekend probably made it really bad though.

I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your trip in Austin.

I assume that basically all radio stations are streamed nowadays, so it's just a matter of finding which station has the game. As a native Kansas Citian I obviously knew which one had it (listening to the game on the radio was absolutely mandatory throughout the 90s if for some reason you were completely unable to get to a tv).

I tried to find a tv stream first but the results that came up all required a paid subscription.

Wish I'd been able to hear from you though before I went, heh. I had some downtime here and there.

Ummm no, not really willing.

A possible exception might be national evening games. But I can just find those over the air.

Are there any POG Redbox DVD rental fans?

Redbox normally rents DVD's for a $1/day however during September they are running their 1 Billion video rental promo. For every DVD you rent, you qualify for a code for a free rental on your next visit.

I rented one video in August and have been "rolling over" the free rental codes since then... Biggest downside is that you can't reserve a DVD and use a promo code. Boo.

LOL @ Redbox

My wireless router has renamed itself as "Linksys" and is broadcasting unsecure. wtf? How does that happen? I'm fixing it now. When I was over at the owner's apartment, apparently my computer decided to make that network the default to connect to and my own apartment is within its range, so apparently I've been leeching their internet since then and my own router just went psycho sometime between then and now.

It reset to factory settings. Power outages and such can do that to them.

It doesn't need to be plugged in to keep its settings. It was unused for days at a time when I was moving.

Damn this newfangled technology!

And I'm pretty sure this didn't happen while the power was out, because I noticed after returning here that I was still connected to the wrong network and I went in and manually reconnected to my own. So the problem developed sometime between then and now.
