The grand Sirius experiment is over, 2 months early.
Sirius is Ok, but nothing great. The programming is repetitive
and superficial. If they truly dig deep, you have to dig deep
through the programming pap to find it. The on air Sirius-pimping
is tiresome. The Box is a PITA - keeps the seat from moving all
the way, blocks the temperature control on those rare days where a
little heat might actually be nice.
(To be fair, I am glad the the original VeeJays from MTV have a home
there. Except for Martha Quinn. And JJ (who is dead).)
I just stopped tuning it in after Xmas, in favor of
reguilar radio, a Kiss CD, another Kiss CD, Some random iTunes, a Shatner + cool iTunes CD, a Midnight Oil live CD and a CD of rockstuff that I can almost play on teh bass.
KISS? W?T?F? If that lyrical and musical trainwreck
outshines Sirius, well, they're fucked. At least in the blowhard
sock puppet demographic.
Thanks ebay. One buy it now and this satellite radio experiment is history.

Did you miss me?
I had to take a couple of days to get over a week of complete shit, which ended when a teleconference that promissed 11ty billion degrees of suckassness turned out OK and didn't cost me my job. Yet. Saturday was kid company. Meh. Our out of town guests didn't actually come over to the palatial estate, but we cleaned so they could. Wifey had the bright idea of promising monkey and bear a trip to Build A Bear for a certain level of effort and results. Since neither one was present, somehow the criteria changed so that both of them qualified. $90 dollars later, there are MORE stuffed critters. Just fucking shoot me now. Build A Bear is like crack. My kids have been there monthly or more since November. Yesterday was go see the out of towners day, plus some BS shopping that just couldn't wait. [Note to said OOTers - it was Monkey on the phone, not wifey. No worries.] Oh and I rediscovered Need For Speed 2 for PS2, which had been sitting in my closet for about a year, forgotten. It's never too early to teach your kids about outrunning the cops, I always say. |
