People with absolutely no life may notice that I removed the link to "Sounds Like A Plan" over there on the side bar. I still read this site, yes, but I can't say I feel comfortable supporting it, not as long as a certain Charles Brumley is still making conservative Republican-supporting comments and is against gun control. I do, however, like Steve over there, him being a good friend of mine and all. Steve will be asking Charles to stop, and if he does, then perhaps I shall put the link back up.

Hot. As a hair dryer in my face. Hot. As a hand bag, a can of mace. Hit 91 degrees yesterday in Minneapolis, breaking the old record of 82 set way back in 1915. It's mid-April. It should not be that hot.

It's been in the 70s today, and was in the 70s all weekend. We had three days of warmth after a long, cold, whiney Winter, and already people are complaining about the heat. Welcome to Minnesota.

Programming Note: Tomorrow on MTV is the Aerosmith Icon special. It should be an excellent tribute to an excellent band.

Baseball Note: Tonight the Twins play Kansas City at the Metrodome. Chuck Knoblauch was traded to Kansas City. Will it be last year's three game series with the Yanks all over again? If it does happen again, should we really feel sorry for Chuck? The answer to both is probably no. Twins fans, and Minnesotans in general, are nice people. I can't explain what happened on that Wednesday last season, other than it was Dollar Hot Dog night, and it was also one of the Salute To Education nights. High school students get cheap tickets in left field and cheap hot dogs. Throw an enemy in left field, and something is bound to be thrown. Will it happen again? No. If it were to happen again, should we feel sorry for Chuck Knoblauch, who wanted to be traded to a "team who could contend"? No.

Well, it's over. I finished the 1000 MP3 project just after midnight Saturday. Hooray for me, even though it did take me nearly a week more than I was planning on it taking, and around five times the total amount of time it could have taken me if I listened non-stop. But oh well. It's done, and I'm never doing it again.

It's a sign of the times when you visit CNN.com before bed to see if anything has erupted in the Middle East. And, as of right now, nothing has. But a plane crashed in South Korea. Pleasent. I'm off to watch CNN. Not to await some kind of news of a Middle East attack, but, rather, to see if they have any breaking news on the plane crash, or if they're continuing coverage of the Middle East conflict. And I'll fall asleep during the commercial.
