			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sleep. It is so glorious. I haven&#8217;t gotten enough of it lately. Maybe that&#8217;s why I got sick. Maybe too many nights at the bar got me sick. Maybe running in the early stages of my illness was a bad idea.</p>
<p>But I used my propensity to lie in bed to take advantage of my 360 as a media center. Many episodes of golden age <em>Simpsons</em> were watched, with Homer at the Bat standing out. Man, that episode is so awesome.</p>
<blockquote><p>Mr. Burns: Mattingly, I told you to shave those sideburns!</p>
<p>Homer: You&#8217;re Darryl Strawberry!<br />
Strawberry: Yes.<br />
Homer: You play Right Field!<br />
Strawberry: Yes.<br />
Homer: I play Right Field too.<br />
Strawberry: So?<br />
Homer: &#8230; Well, are you better than me?<br />
Strawberry: Well, I&#8217;ve never met you, but&#8230; yes.</p>
<p><strong>And of course the credits song:</strong></p>
<p><em>Well, Mr. Burns had done it.<br />
The power plant had won it,<br />
With Roger Clemens clucking all the while.<br />
Mike Scoscia&#8217;s tragic illness made us smile,<br />
While Wade Boggs lay unconscious on the barroom tile!</em></p>
<p><em>We&#8217;re talkin&#8217; softball,<br />
From Maine to San Diego.<br />
Talkin&#8217; softball,<br />
Mattingly and Canseco,<br />
Ken Griffey&#8217;s grotesquely swollen jaw,<br />
Steve Sax and his run-in with the law.<br />
We&#8217;re talking Hoooomer&#8230;<br />
Ozzie and the Straw!</em></p>
<p><em></em></p></blockquote>
<p>The most surprisingly hilarious quote out of all the episodes I watched had to be this one, though:</p>
<blockquote><p>Lisa: Dad, what if I told you you could lose weight without dieting or lifting a finger?<br />
Homer: I&#8217;d say you&#8217;re a lying scumbag. Why sweetie?</p></blockquote>
<p>Scumbag is just a hilarious word, and I was shocked by &#8220;scumbag&#8221; coming out of Homer&#8217;s mouth back in 1992.</p>
<p>Other than <em>The Simpsons</em>, I actually started up <em>Lost</em> again. I hadÂ given up a few episodes into Season 3 after realizing I wasn&#8217;t paying attention each week. I had watched Season 1 on DVD, and watched Season 2 on TV and torrent alternatively. I almost gave up halfway through Season 2.</p>
<p>Why did I start again? 1) I&#8217;ve heard that Season 4 is fuck awesome. 2) My entire office watches it, so instead of being totally out of the loop and wanting to kill people talking about it the next day, I figure I should catch up before new episodes start again &#8212; whenever that is.</p>
<p>I watched 4 episodes of Season 3, and I&#8217;m surprised I stopped watching. It&#8217;s not bad at all. I think this cements the fact that <em>Lost</em> is infinitely better in short-term viewing. Man, I love streaming shit to my 360.</p>
<p>Did I mention I slept in between all this TV watching? It was awesome.</p>
<p>I also did play some <em>Team Fortress 2</em> as well, but not enough to unlock any of the new Heavy weapons. Maybe because I was too busy being a Medic to heal all the Heavies, or being a Pyro to run circles around them and burn their faces.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll end with this cool little thing:</p>
