He got me a great price, but at the wrong time. The ticket had me flying out on the 1st of october, one day after I leave work, that wouldn’t work. So I have him getting a schedule ready for me…

It’s hard for me to believe how different two radio stations can be even though they claim to have the same format. As I’ve mentioned before, WBIG has degenerated into a nonstop Steely Dan, Boston, Kansas, Styx, Doobie Brothers, and REO Speedwagon lovefest. I kid you not, those bands seem to make up a solid third of their playlist, it’s about as bad as I can imagine. They are also the first so called classic rock station that I’ve ever heard that does not play Led Zepplin, which seems really odd to me.
On the other hand, 94.1 has become a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine. They played “Two Hearts Beat as One” by U2 the other morning. I don’t think I’ve heard that song on the radio since the 80’s and it made my morning. I’m also enjoying hearing Led Zeppelin again. It’s taken about 20 years, but it’s fun again… This station’s playlist is one of the better ones I’ve ever heard for this format. Very little of the bands I mentioned above, or at least thy are so diluted I don’t notice. They do of course play the typical scourges Rush, Yes, etc. but I guess that’s unavoidable. It’s become a nice change of pace, that makes FM fun again…

Took a little chance
Won an Ebay auction last night for 100 rolls of Koday 400UC 120 film. It’s slightly outdated, but I’ve had good luck using past date film and his feedback is very good, so I don’t feel like it’s too much of a risk. Of course the only reason trying this at all is that the film ended up being 87 cents per roll (97 cents a roll after shipping). That’ll save me about $200 over buying it from the store. I’ll give it a try and test it out once it gets here…. Now I just need some black and white film…

OW! Groan… Whew! Groan…
Bit down on my lunch today and got a real zinger in my teeth, it really hurt. I figured that I had cracked another tooth or lost a filling or something. Great, all I need is another $1300 bill… Left work early and went to the dentist. He says that I chioed a tooth (in a rather odd place) and that I don’t need a crown or anything. He does think that I’m grinding my teeth at night and that is leading to my sensitivity in my teeth. He suggests getting a type of mouth guard that protects my teeth, it’s only around $500… Well, that’s better than a crown I suppose, but it’s still $500… Guess I’ll have to tighten the belt a little more…
