Why am I so excited about the Office Season 5. Because it was awesome!!! Michael Scott Paper Company, The interactions between Jim and Charles, the big news at the the company picnic party, Michael dealing with his breakup with Holly.

So many gringe worthy moments were in this season that I can easily say that this show has only gotten better since the first day. If you don't find the Office hilarious, you just don't have a sense of humor. Season 5 is out on DVD now and Season 6 starts Sept. 17th 2009. I've got my DVR fired up and looking forward to another season of laughs.

That's more than a clever title for my latest blog entry. That's also that tag line for the on-line survey panel Survey Savvy. But it is also true of using the service. I signed up for Survey Savvy in mid-2007. And although I don't take a survey every day, sometimes not even every week, I've managed to make over $115. Now some of you might be thinking... is this for real? Well yeah, it's for real. I didn't get a lump sum of cash, but every few weeks, I'll get a check from Survey Savvy for $1 or $2. Sometimes I even get some for more. Last one I deposited was $9. And all that money is going into my daughters savings account.

It was the fall of Spring of 2006. I would search for interesting radio I would listen to in my office. My mornings would be Kevin and Bean on KROQ. Mid-mornings with Jim Rome. Then the Loose Cannons after Rome. I would easily get bored with the Cannons. And found myself wandering the station dials to find something entertaining. Well one day I found it on the former 97.1 FM TALK. The Frosty, Heidi, and Frank Show quickly became a mainstay on my afternoon on my radio dial. As I previously wrote about earlier this year, FM 97.1 Closed up shop and the trio hadn't been on the air.

Well that changed somewhat back in March. A weekly podcast became available on iTunes. The FHFU show. The FHFU one hour weekly show is an uncensored program of the previous show on KLSX. No apologies necessary, the FHFU show has recently debuted as a daily one hour podcast available on iTunes.

You should check it out.

If you know anything about me, you know I love Seattle Grunge sounding music. The trifecta of awesomeness of that era can be summed up with Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and of course Alice In Chains. In 2002 tragedy struck one my favorite bands. Layne Staley, co-singer of Alice In Chains lost his battle with drug addiction and passed away. I never got to see that incarnation of AIC. However the band reformed back in 2006 with new co-singer William DuVall, Jerry Cantrell, Mike Inez, and Sean Kinney. I have been fortunate two see them twice. Care to read my review?

Alice In Chains' have two new singles available for download. I recently pre-ordered the newest album from iTunes, Black Gives Way to Blue. I downloaded the newest single A Looking View as soon as possible. Distinctly Alice In Chains, the initial rifts reveal all to well what I'm already familiar with. Listening, I do miss Layne, but Will picks up right where he left off. The second single that is available on iTunes is Check My Brain. I heard it first on KROQ. I think their is a reason this one is getting more air time than the first. This song is very reminicant of AIC edgier sounds off the later albums. If you are a fan of the original AIC, you'll certainly enjoy this incarnation.
