It was New Year's Day in El Zona.
Yesterday, in the Vernalmas Madness college basketball tournament, 512 games were played. Today, there were 256 games played with 512 teams out of 8,192 that survived the past four days of tournament play.
I spent New Year's Day listening to some radio podcasts. I came across the Tom Leykis podcast website and listened to one show where he was discussing the irrelevance of today's rock radio in today's culture. Most anybody were not learning about new music from the radio stations in the real world because the diversity of the music just doesn't exist within their formats. Tom tore up a New York radio station that claimed that it had a revolutionary new format when all it played was mostly classic rock songs. Oh yea. It was revoltionary when they were first played on then-independent FM rock radio way back before I hit puberty. Oh yea, the New York radio station is run by some moron who screwed up 91X when that station was once controlled by Clear Channel.
Here in El Zona, there are radio stations that are formatted, but are not cookie-cutter playlisted to death or run by suits from a distant corporate owner. The formats are even more diverse than what you hear on college radio, which are nonprofit operations and don't depend on ratings.
All of the radio stations in El Zona are completely digital. Analog is gone forever. The transition went well, but Scotty sent me some e-mail from San Diego regarding some of the people in San Diego county who were mysteriously hearing radio stations without a radio. Scotty e-mailed them back and asked them if they could name some of the stations they were hearing. Funny enough, they didn't name a single AM radio station. When wired correctly, a human head could receive AM radio signals like Gilligan did in one episode of Gilligan's Island. The radio stations that they picked up inside their heads were digital and had names like Party 92.70, Groove 103.33, Disco 98.64, Metal 107.48, and Geek Radio 95.84. For some reason, some of the San Diegans were picking up digital radio stations from El Zona inside their heads! Huh? How could that be? The phoenomenom went on for hours until the engineers at the affected radio stations fixed the phasing and looping effects which were causing signal leaks so severe that they were penetrating the realm envelope and leaking into nearby realms, causing human heads to receive digital radio signals from another realm.
Albert called Scotty and told him that the ones that were coming to Atlantica Island had to come early Tuesday morning by plane. We had to pack up and be ready to leave early in the next morning.
Due to our trip, I may not be publishing any more blog entries until I get back, but I invited Chachi to post in the blog. I plan to send him e-mail messages to his computer so that he could edit and repost the logs while he adds his own entries and posts to the blog as well.
I, Scott, Hoss, Lenny, Alyssa, and Carlotta packed up our stuff and were ready to leave the next morning.
In the past two days, the hydrogen gas satellite Rush glowed so bright that it was keeping Erf too warm to cool off at night. We had to act fast to stop the inhabitants on satellite Al from firing any more rockets into Rush or else Rush might explode and engulf all of us within the exploding and expanding ball of fire.
Just the other day, CNN has just reported news about a star that exploded 7.5 billion years ago. Talk about the slowness of reporting the news, this has to take the cake!
Anyway, a star 40x bigger than our sun exploded 7.5 billion light years away (each light year is 5.9 trillion miles), equal to about 1/2 the way to the edge of the universe. The light from the explosion, which occurred about 7 billion years ago, just reached the planet Earth and was visible in the night sky by the naked eye. The record before this explosion was from an object 2.5 Million light years away, a far cry from the 7.5 billion light years away that this mammoth exploding starlight came from. The galaxy this star blew up in is unknown; any planets near the explosion were vaporized. Essentially, light from the explosion, travelling at 5.9 trillion miles per year, took roughly 7 billion years to reach Earth. And, this distance is only roughly 1/2 the size of the known Universe.

CNN: Exploding Star Sets Record
Now imagine what could happen if Rush exploded into a Supernova. Think about the Death Star in Star Wars vaporizing Princess Leia's planet. The citizens never knew what hit them.
This is why we got to stop the inhabitants from Al from possibly causing Rush to explode.
Things calmed down considerably from yesterday. No reports of demons coming out of under Sunnychip to attack people. Conan and Ollie were getting ready for tomorrow as Conan was going on his own trip to P-Niz while Ollie gets turned into Conan for a day by Mr. Smith the wizard so that nobody would notice that the real Conan slipped out of town on a fast flying dragon. Mindy got to know Sid better since Wilma introduced them to each other yesterday. Chachi and Angelina went out on the town to have some fun.
That's it for now. I gotta get some rest. Chachi or Angelina or whoever will post for me while I and a few men leave Erf as we fly aboard the Starship Enterprise. Live long and prosper. Cya tomorrow.
