This Picture a Day thing is fun, but it gets hard to think of things to take pictures of.  Especially now when it is cold out and the Sun goes down so early.  Days like today when I work all day I don’t get to see the Sun.  I get home and it’s cold and dark outside and I have about three hours to thing of something before it is my bed time.  So if my pictures suck and are boring that is why.  Want to see some better pictures?  Then give me some ideas.

I got home from work today and the house was all decorated for Christmas and the tree was up.  Kind of early for me, but I so glad I didn’t have to help.  I hate putting up the tree and decorating.  Yeah, I am a scrooge, so what!

It’s been quite around here lately.  Not because I have nothing to blog about.  When I am not around a computer I have all sorts of stuff to blog about.  Once I sit down at a computer I have nothing.  We are taking off in a bit to go and eat too much.  We should be home in time to watch the Broncos game.

I usually don’t put creamer in my coffee.  Not because I don’t like, but because it’s just one more thing to have to buy and have around.  Well, the other day I picked up some pumpkin spice creamer.  This shit is great.  Now I am always going to want it and it is only available for a limited time.

I guess I live pretty close to the the world’s tallest structure, the KVLY-TV tower.  I couldn’t even tell you where it is, but here it is on Google Maps.

So the concert last night was awesome.  We got right up front again.  We got lucky.  We ended up being on the mellow side of the stage.  We didn’t get kicked in the head at all.  We brought the “real” camera this time and got much better pictures.  Reel Big Fish was awesome like always.  The opening bands were pretty good too.  Two of them I didn’t know Westbound Train and Suburban Legends.  Both of them were awesome and full on energy.  Streetlight Manifesto also opened up.  I didn’t like them much before and I still don’t like them very much.  I hope good bands like this keep coming to Fargo.

I didn’t get home until midnight last night.

Woke up at 4:30 AM.

Worked for 12 Hours.

I’m going to bed early tonight.

I am a huge fan of The Ataris and have been for years. Today they announced the release date of their new album. It will be out February 20th. I can’t wait. They also posted the first single on their MySpace page. It sounds pretty cool.

Tonight is the Reel Big Fish concert.  Most of you probably know them from their 90s hit “Sellout”, but they have continued to put out good music since.  Just recently they put out a double live album that I have been listening to a lot.  They are a really good live band.  This is going to be my third time seeing them.  It should be pretty cool because they are playing at The Venue.  It’s the same place we saw the Gin Blossoms last month.  We should be able to get right up front.  There are three ska bands opening for them, so it’s going to be a fun night of ska.  Maybe I will discover more ska bands that I like.

I wasn’t to sure how I was going to like the NFL’s new flex schedule this season.  So far I like it.  It almost guaranties a good games Sunday night.  Lasts nights game was the Giants and Bears and was a pretty good game.  Next week my Broncos will be playing against the Chargers and that should be a great game.  Now the week after that will be the Eagles and Colts.  That should also be a great game.  Now if only they would get rid of Pink singing the intro.
