random thoughts at 11:11 on a tuesday night

  • integrity insurance/granger insurance, the insurance company of the man who hit my car last week, has decided to total my car and after their calculations they think it is generous to offer me a grand total of $1,042 for my car or $700 if i keep it. this seems like a complete cheat to me (and the others i have discussed this with). now i have to determine how i respond to them and what i do next. i think i’ll begin by saying that i will most definitely never be a client of integrity/granger. i’m quite unimpressed with them and wouldn’t want them as my insurance company. i hope none of you use them or are ever hit by one of their clients.
  • i sent my xbox 360 in for repairs today. it developed 3 red lights and then started freezing. it’s past the machine’s warranty but it appears that 3 red lights usually equals a free repair. we’ll see. anyhow on a lark i’m buying a used original xbox from a friend who sells vintage game consoles and i am considering running xbmc on it. i’ve never run xbmc so if anyone has any experience with installing it on an xbox i’m all ears.
  • pam and i just watched 3/23’s episode of “lost” – interesting. i’ve been a little disappointed with this season until this episode. like i said … interesting.
  • i also just caught up on this season’s “24” – c.t.u. must purposefully go out and recruit traitors. it seems like every season there is another person inside the agency working for the bad guys. how many times can this happen? thus far it has happened around 9 times. i would have ditched the show a long time ago except for jack bauer killing everything in sight. every now and then  i feel like i get a little closer to being a pacifist but somehow  i still enjoy watching jack do his thing – but i sure do hope we don’t have any agents like him.

  1. You need to tell them to sharpen their pencil! State Farm gave us a ridiculous offer at first as well, we kept haggling until we got at least pay-off…my van was pretty new. I was just not going to go in the hole for a kid who hit me in the rear going 40mph!

  2. Do not accept a low-ball offer! Talk to an insurance person you know and trust. Also, most states have agencies over insurance companies and you can call them.

  5. As for C.T.U, they also recruit the most emotionally unintelligent people in the world. That’s the main reason I quit watching the show (though I am catching it this season). Does anybody really act that way? I much prefer Chuck – that show at least recognizes how emotions affect their work.

  8. I almost gave up on 24 too since it is same ‘ole story line, but its like a train wreck…I cannot seem to look away. There is ALWAYs someone on the inside and Jack always get tortured and so forth and so on. However, I am in a different camp on Jack…i hope that ALL of our agents are like him if you are referring to his interrogation techniques.

    Lost has been very average this year until this last episode. It was nice to finally learn Richard’s story. Still seems they are trying to cram too much stuff in instead of teasing like they did in the past. Should be interesting to see how it all ends up, but I am expecting to be disappointed.

    1. @jim – i agree “24” is like a train wreck. i’m watching the 3/29/2010 episode right now and it’s absurd. another cabinet member decides that the president has gone off her rocker and is deciding to go against her orders. how many times can this same plot device be used. now an american tactical team is shooting at american ctu angents. come on. i’ll watch to the end because i’m stupid BUT I AM SO READY FOR THIS THING TO END!
