Heroes is back!
Well, for a limited time it is. I hate the schedule that show is on. 8 episodes, month and a half break, then 6 episodes, another break, then the rest. It’s back now, for the final 5 episodes.
The show was great last night. I hated the 7 minutes of show, 4 minutes of commercials however. Can someone tell me why NBC played a fucking 6 minute commercial for that stupid Wedding Crashers show, when they were playing the first episode right after Heroes? So after we covered all the advertising dollars, I felt a little cheated. One hour later, I watched 20 mintes of the show I’d been waiting for. Next week I’ll have to watch it on Tivo.
I can’t wait to see what the future will be if they don’t stop Peter from exploding. The future looks fun. Great show.

Night before last, I went to bed around 12:30-1:00am. That’s about right for me. I can get through the day, with 5ish hours of sleep with no problem. So I’m lying there, sleeping, minding my own business, and all of a sudden I get hit in the face with this horrible smell. So bad, that it wakes me up at 4:15am. I immediately recongnized the smell from last year, when Jaz got sprayed in the face by a skunk. There is a distinct difference between smelling a skunk driving down the road, and a direct hit. The direct hit is much, much worse, and this is exactly what this smell was.
But how? Where? I was a little out of it, but…did I get sprayed by the skunk? Why’s the smell so friggin bad? Wait, wake up and shake the cobwebs off. I got out of bed and looked around at the windows. None of them were open. WTF? The house stunk so bad, I could barely take it. I sprayed FaBreeze all over the house, to try to at least mask the smell, but it didn’t do anything to help. I lay back down, and 5 minutes later, Kel gets up. She opens the window to the backyard, and doesn’t smell it outside. So she turns the fan towards the window to try and force the stench out of the house. Then she lays back down.
The wind must have changed because 5 minutes later the smell got worse, so I got back up and shut the windows. It was kind of comical when you think about it. So here we lay, neither one of us can sleep because the smell is so bad, and we have no idea where the hell it’s coming from. I layed in bed, wide awake straight past 6:45am when the alarm was set, and wouldn’t you know it, I finally dozed off about 7:05am. Right when I should be getting up.
So I finally get up, get ready, and leave the house. As I backed out of the driveway, I noticed where the smell was coming from. Turns out, when skunks die, they release they’re smelly…juice…or whatever the fuck it is. Anyway, good news/bad news is that the skunk got ran over in the street in front of our neighbors house, but when that happened it stunk so fucking bad, that I wanted to move. In case you were wondering, animal control will pick up a random skunk carcass from the city property in front of your house. Although the guy did say, and I quote, “well, I don’t WANT to come get it, but I will”.
