Live TV on my Computer?

I used to be able to watch live TV on my computer through the verizon fios website. Then one day I opened up the site so that I could watch The Walking Dead and it didn’t work. Google told me that verizon took the service away. I switched to watching via the fios app on my iPad and never looked back.

I’m not sure why but I just tried it again and what do you know? It worked! I don’t know if it’s the same address as before, but it works so who cares.

Now when the sprung ahead clock strikes 9:00PM (formerly known as 8:00PM) I’m gonna watch me some zombies.

Gone Forever

It’s zombie night on the AMC network. Jen’s not a fan so I set myself up in the bedroom, watching live TV on my iPad. I’m listening through my Apple AirPods.

When Fear the Walking Dead* ended I moved from the desk to the bed. As I was putting stuff down I dropped the AirPod case. It bounced off my leg, bounced off a guitar case, and flew at great speed…

….under the bed.

Well, it was nice knowing ya AirPods case. Gone forever but never forgotten. RIP.

*Season five of Fear was the worst season of TV I’ve ever watched. How did season six episode two compare? It was better than season five, but it wasn’t good.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter, where applicable.

Easter is a day that, much like the name Anakin Skywalker, no longer has any meaning for me.  Even if it is the truth and I’ve only forgotten about it.  I don’t think so.

To continue on the blasphemous theme of this post, why didn’t the AMC TV network use today as the start date for season three of Fear the Walking Dead?  Easter… Zombies… it seems like such an obvious marketing win, doesn’t it?

We are going to Nana and Papa’s today.  The kids are looking forward to it.  Jen has a bad cold, and I have a flare up of what people tell me is an undiagnosed case of plantar fasciitis.  As a result, we’ve both been on edge and overly snippy.  Jen, my love, I am sorry if I’ve had a bad attitude over the last couple of days.  It is just because my foot is hurting a lot and I can’t seem to think around it.  I love you and don’t want you to think that my grumpy is related to anything other than the ouch factor.

Once again, happy zombie Jesus day, everyone!  Brrraaaaiiiinnnnnsssssandforgivenessforallsinnnnnnssssssss.

Good Friday

I should wish everyone who believes in Good Friday a Happy Good Friday.

I don’t get it though.  Why not just say Happy Day in Which Your Personal Savior was Slaughtered Like an Animal in the Most Humiliating and Agonizingly Painful Way Possible in Front of the Whole Entire City?

Stick to Easter.  Or what non believers call, The Day Your Personal Savior Came Back From the Dead as a Zombie.  How do you moan, “braaaiinnnns” in Aramaic?  What about Hebrew and Greek?

We usually do family things on Easter Sunday.  This year I’m on call so Jen and I are just going to stay home.  The kids are with their dad this weekend so there won’t even be Bunny festivities, zombie or otherwise.

I find some humor in the fact that this year Easter Sunday is immediately followed by April Fools Day on Monday.

For years I have been on the fence as to what if anything Easter really means to me.  This year it’s just another day for me.  I am much more excited about next weekend, when the kids have some huge events to participate in.  There’s no doubt in my mind as to the reality and importance of next weekend.

I don’t know… maybe I’m just getting my butt whooped at work today and am in a crummy mood.  I don’t know.

Do you think there is any hidden meaning to the season finale of The Walking Dead taking place on Easter Sunday?  Does anyone care?

I don’t know.

World War Z Trailer

This could be fun.  This could be all kinds of zombie movie win…

I read the book.  This doesn’t seem too similar.  In the book the main character is interviewing people after the zombies have been beaten.  As you can see, that is not quite the case with the movie.  Still… looks fun.

Important Reading Material

I finished Derek Sanderson’s book “Crossing the Line” today.  I had planned on reading Terry Francona’s book on the Red Sox next, but I thought I’d read something off of the sports biography topic first to sort of clear the pallet .

Must Read

I figure I should read this carefully. You know… just in case.
