Sorry, weird mood. I've been trying to find the time to just sit down and try and get out a few thoughts. Right now isn't the best time, but it may be the only chance that I get. I'm realizing that, as I get older, I prioritize things differently than I used to. Taking out the trash and cooking dinner now take a higher priority over just hanging out in front of my computer. It's difficult to rationalize sitting in front of my keyboard while there are kids asking, "What's for dinner?" So, my brain fills up with pithy things that I want to jot down and they leak out into my regular speech like non-sequiters from the voices in my head. So, my family thinks I'm nuts and I get wound up and FAR more agitated than I have any right to be. For the love of God and all that's holy, will someone please remind my ego that I'm a father, now, and engaged to a wonderfully beautiful woman that I don't deserve.

*sigh*

Okay, enough self abuse. You've been through enough of that. I'm here, alone in my apartment for the first time since I moved in here. I'm listening to old time bluegrass music, loud. And now I'm inspired to spit out one of the ideas I had earlier this week but haven't had time to write. That's right, it's already time for another top ten!!!

Today's top ten was inspired while looking at the choices for television watching earlier this week while Jackie and I were savoring a few precious moments alone together. There's now three different cities hosting episodes of CSI. The original, affectionately referred to now as CSI: Las Vegas. There's also CSI: Miami and, most recently, CSI: New York.

The Top Ten Cities That CSI Will Never Air From:

10. CSI: Mulletville, LA. Stan has to use caution when he discovers that a voodoo priestess' prize chihuahua was run over by the mayor.

9. CSI: Nashville. Lulu seeks to prove that her "John Doe" was a studio musician done in by the ghost of Roy Orbison trying to take revenge for stealing his music.

8. CSI: Tokyo. A fundamentalist environmental group may be responsible for Toshi speaking out of turn at a company picnic. (HORROR!)

7. CSI: Wingnut, AZ. The heat, wild animals and a freak rainstorm wipe evidence clean at a crime scene but nothing can remove the stink from a bike gang who witnessed the whole thing... if only they'd been sober.

6. CSI: Toronto. Philippe sets out to find out why the entire city can't admit they shouldn't own an American baseball team.

5. CSI: Jerusalem. Three crosses, three bodies and one giant controversy. Now if only they could figure out how to keep from getting shot at while they conduct their investigation.

4. CSI: 90210. The hardest part of this investigation is proving who didn't do it. Everyone wants a piece of these whiney, over-privileged slackers. (refer to previous entry)

3. CSI: Bogota, Columbia. No one saw anything... nope, not a thing.

2. CSI: Malibu. It's just a bunch of people running around in bathing suits while hardbody lifeguards look for clues to petty crimes. I know, it's been done.

and the number one city that CSI will never air from:

1. CSI: Atlantic City. "Yeah, I did it. Whatcha' gonna do 'bout it, tough guy?"

Have a great week, all. More very soon.
