under construction/Reboot

I sit here in a quiet apartment. Everyone is at work or sleeping in. (xBox live keeps the masses occupied for hours into the night! So they all sleep in to all hours of the day.) I'm waiting on my "boss" to get here with my (her) kids so I can start a new work week. My last set of off days was riddled with sickness and congestion. I waste time looking up Reboot stuff on the net.

(You remember that show? I have always quoted Mike the TV "Free for only 99.99.99" and that is how I have kept the show alive in my head. Years later I started to wonder where the HECK that phrase came from. I had vague images of green and purple "sprites" that live in my computer. But I couldn't remember the names of the main characters. Then I thought of the first real restaurant Shawn took me to back in the day. (not McDonald's which was our first date.) We went to Zio's; this Italian place that serves really good dishes (and large plates). The place was nice with the lighting set low and you could color on the table clothes. LOL Anyways I connected that place to the cartoon and thought "Hey wasn't that the kids name?" It wasn't but it all reminded me of it. When I lived in Bountiful, UT I had a subscription to Netflix and I looked up all the stuff I could think about having to do with the cartoon and finally got a name. Reboot! Netflix had SQUAT! Nothing. It never came out in full on DVD at that time. Bastards! So anyways. I think my sis did a Mike quote too in a sketch but I don't know if she knows where the legacy originated from. She was selling "Chia Faith and gift with purchase Mormon Boy in a Box Free for only 99.99.99!" Anyways.

Where was I? Oh yeah!

So before I got sick a couple of weeks ago I started to You Tube Reboot and low and behold!! Someone loves me. There it was in all its streaming video glory! Straight from Cartoon Network (through some guy named Y2... something) every episode including the 2 mini movies that made up the last season. SWEET!!! so what o I do? Well obviously other then the times i was bedridden with a fever of unknown heights I planted my arse right here in this chair and watched every episode! I'm not a renewed fan and baseline expert of the show. Did you know supposedly they're going to make a theatrical movie this year? But they said that about 10th Kingdom and Quantum Leap too. I'll believe it when I see it.

Anyways. While I sit here waiting for my "job" to get here I while away the time doing a whole lot of nothing on the Internet. Directly across from my building the rest of the complex is under construction. And for 2 days now some alarm in the hallway of the building over there *points* keeps going off. Like its malfunctioning. There's no fire or anything. And the office people just let it go for minutes (like, 20 of em) at a time. Like they could care less. Its the boy who cried wolf. I'm going to hear one one of these days and think "OMGsh! There it goes again!" and roll back over and die a horrible death. The papers will say "The alarm went off but she could care less. It was her own undoing."

So my complex is under construction and I really hope the amenities (When they finally open) will undo all the heartache the noise of building has caused me. And Reboot Rocks!
