If there’s one thing that can drive one nuts about a 10-second power outage, it’s the fact you have to reset every clock in your house.  I’ve found out that 9-volt battery backups for alarm clocks never work and unless your other clocks are hooked up to a system like a cable box, you’re busy resetting clocks each time this happens.  It’s bad enough that Daylight Savings Time forces me to do this twice, including all non-electronic clocks.  But when the power goes out inexplicably several times in the past few days, I’m OCD enough to not be able to deal with blinking digital displays or ones displaying the wrong time.  Must...reset...blinking...clock.

I was actually going to write something this week about how crappy it is to be a sports fan right now with all the terrible athletes acting at their worst, but the Onion beat me to the punch.  I bow to their wit nightly.

And for my final dastardly act, I’m going to send two links to songs that are bored into my head.  One was sent from a friend and the other one was mentioned and played on a morning radio show.  I dare you to listen to both all the way through.
