Surprise...?  (Bucky)
I just got this email from my father, and it cracked me up...

Today is Dr. Wendell L. Moseley's birthday (shown in our newspaper) at which he is 80 years old.  This is the doctor that brought you into this world.  Remember?  Nah.

That's my dad for ya...

Uhm ... Alton?
Yesterday was a celebration of all things banninated. Today, I'm trying to help Ken Jennings get the word "celebrinerd" out here in common use, or at least onto the Internet. I figure with you people haivng things like Google toolbars and whatnot, it will take no time before the word actually has a Google hit or five. =)

Info at his blog as syndicated on [info]kjennings_blog here.

We now return to "Who Wants to Screw My Sister?", already in progress over this NBS station...

This icon was too funny not to share... As seen in [info]im_a_pistol's journal, credited to [info]opiumgaze.


The LA Times sent out an insert with the Sunday paper stating they would be discontinuing their TV Times as part of the Sunday paper, unless you opted in for free. Presumably, the LA Times did some sort of focus group or survey, and found out that most people don't use this paper guide anymore, and the cost of giving it to everyone versus only to those subscribers that want it pushed the decision to drop this by default. My pessimistic nature says that it will be free for now. But it shows how the tide it turning. Gone are the days when you had to have a TV Guide or local paper guide in order to know when anything was on. Enter the days of on-screen guides, PVRs, and Internet based listings.

Ironically, this leads me to a point -- I forgot that "The Amazing Race" was on last night, but thankfully, TiVo has it waiting for me. Oh, and for nyone who likes "Psych", it's been renewed for a second season. And George Duran of "Ham on the Street" made a funny in his blog, as syndicated here on LJ. Sure wish Alton Brown still kept a blog.

Not sure if anyone needs an external USB 2.0 hard drive or not, but here's a fairly good deal for a 160GB -- $57.95 shipped after rebate. Oh, and amazon.com has a sale on Harmony remote controls right now. Go. Get one now. Go on. I'll wait.

The Santa Ana winds have picked up over the weekend, resulting in me being down for the count on Sunday with an allergy/sinus headache. Took one of my "good" pills this morning, and that seemed to help. I can't take these at night because they make me jittery and therefore I can't sleep. Of course, I already couldn't sleep last night because of said headache, so I'm in a world of hurt today.

I did pick up The Death of Superman, World Without Superman, and The Return of Superman this weekend. Never read any of these stories, and thought I should finally get to them. I also picked up Dan Meltzer's The Millionaires and The Zero Game in hardcover for $3.33 each. Wasn't so fortunate on the pricing for Shadow of the Giant, which I am SO looking forward to reading.

Uhm, yeah. I suppose I should get lunch, since it's now 1 pm.

EDIT: Had I just waited for one more song to go through on the XM Radio, I would have said I was listening to Baha Men - Who Let the Dogs Out? *snerk*

I see you poking your newly refreshed head in here, mister. I don't care. You know me -- anything I got I show, and what I don't want known won't go here either. For kicks and giggles, drop me an email if you read this, as I suspect you might.

I'm preparing for the onslaught of "All your base" comments shortly, since Google Base went into public "beta" yesterday.

Seen in an advertisement for Sun servers in InfoWorld -- "Given how hot and slow our competitor's servers are, it's no surpise their name rhymes with hell." Ouch!

Headline from Fark -- "Single winner of $315 million lotto ticket from suburban Los Angeles. Speculation is that they may use all of it for a partial downpayment on a house in suburban L.A"

And news from the surrounding area where I grew up -- Woman to marry man who shot her. I guess love will conquer all.

Jen's got a doctor's appointment tomorrow. Though y'all don't know what this is about, push good thoughts her way around 9 am Pacific time, mkthx.

For you people who keep track of various carbonated beverages (*cough*[info]lambertman*cough*), the Beeb is reporting that Vanilla Coke, Vanilla Diet Coke, and Diet Coke with Lemon are on their way out, and Diet Black Cherry Vanilla Coke and Black Cherry Vanilla Coke are coming in.

And for those that care about Jessica Alba (*cough*[info]dorwrath*cough*), well, just click here.

And for those that care about the show "Babylon 5" (*cough*[info]rialtus*cough*), you might want to check out the Babylon 5 Script site. And yes, #1 has already been ordered for the Cube de Rialtus.

Oh, and for those of you from my work that read this (*cough*Dave*cough*), when are you going to break down and get a *free* account? You don't have to, ya know, post!
