So -that's- what he's doing...

One of our two interns tends to whistle while he works. (Insert many, many jokes here.)

I kept trying to figure out what he was whistling, because it sounded REALLY familiar, but not quite right.

Today, it clicked, because I figured out that he was whistling Sad But True, just in a very jaunty, carefree way instead of anthemic mid-90s metal.

He's been whistling a Muzak version of the Black Album this entire week, and I'm trying to decide if that's the funniest thing I've run into this week or not...

In other news, I actually got to sleep for an uninterrupted 8 hours last night, so I'm back on at least a moderately even keel again, and we'll see what happens from there.

Well, neat.

Tonight was low key. Dave comes over, we introduce him to the joy of Perkins, and we decided to go to Best Buy to look for Dr. Who season 1 (or Season 27, depending how you look at it.)

They were sold out, but we go a raincheck. However, while walking through the store, I did find something neat.

You see, I've always loved the Master Replicas lightsabers...but I couldn't justify $120 on one. Even when they dropped to $80, it was pushing it.

So finding an Open Box, otherwise complete and unused Darth Vader MR lightsaber on the discount aisle was surprising, to say the least.

Finding out that it was only $39 was pretty much the dealmaker, especially when the CSR offered to let me put batteries in and start it up at the register, and he'd refund everything on the spot if it didn't.

It started up.

Now, a semi-restless night ahead of me - I never sleep that well on OD weekends because I'm too used to being awoken at least once or twice - but a pretty neat end to my day regardless.

( An obscenely long TV meme from Phil, that I'm completeing out of curiosity. )

How many of these came from Waiting Room TVs, Nick at Nite my Mom, Aunt, or Sister's control of the TV remote at various points of my life, having a paper route at oh-god-it's-early, or being home sick from school is a rather interesting and scary question.

Things I was disappointed it didn't have:

Dobie Gillis
The Incredible Hulk
U.F.O.

Oh, well...
