Alias going downhill? It sure seems that way. I was skeptical from the start with the intro they've been playing this year, but then there was this week's episode ("Ice"). Weiss' comment to Marshall pretty much summed up that scene, and then there was the scene in the hospital as Syndey is walking away... I like the history of the show, the other parts, and the directions it could go. I just really don't want it to continue going the direction it appears to be.

Apparently Columbia House doesn't know how to manage their systems. They've been wanting me to do one of the 5 movies for $0.49 each and we'll cancel and start your membership over. I figure what the heck, I want some movies anyways. That was in December sometime. Today I get another offer of the same thing (which I have no account currently listed as "good standing", just a closed and new member). I also get a letter from them triggered by the closing of the one account about how I can reopen it and they'll give me the trial offer. I just laugh and wonder how much they're gonna spend sending me these things over the next year. After I canceled the one they started sending new offers to my old address too (which they got the change right once, apparently it duplicated and now both are in there).

Last night apparently all the ideas people had been giving me about our Incident tracking system at work got sorted out by my brain and I ended up writing a long list of stuff to implement. Unfortunately it happened while I was trying to fall asleep, so I was tired (thus the sending myself the long list so I could try to ignore and deal with it later). I got a lot of stuff done today, hopefully stuff will move relatively quickly. It should allow us to streamline a lot of current stuff and add other things easier as well. Should be interesting.

A quote I saw today: "It's the cigarette that smokes, you're just the sucker."
