Tuesday
Two days of ColdFusion programming without something going horribly awry. Add to that the fact that it was a gorgeous day out and the fact that I received a phone call from a friend saying that he and his family unit were coming out this weekend… shake gently… and the end result is a very good day.

Song of the DayThanks to , today’s songs are:

  • Mr. Anderson (a parody of Mrs. Robinson… about The Matrix)
  • Starfighters in the Sky (a send-up of Ghost Riders in the Sky) about Star Wars: Episodes IV – VI)

Stray Toasters

  • From the top, let’s go ahead and get this out in the open: I have a dilemma.
    • My dislike for “reality TV” is well-known.
    • My affinity for Tyra Banks is fairly well-known… at least to most of my close friends and family.

    The dilemma comes in dealing with the fact that Tyra is hosting a new show on UPN called “America’s Next Top Model.” According to Stuff Magazine (hey, it was a free subscription… AND Tyra was on the cover of the first issue – this month’s – that I received), the show is along the lines of “American Idol meets The Real World.” I have to find a way to reconcile that one of the banes of my existence is being hosted by one of my favorite people. I must have had a very negative karma balance from my previous life.

  • “Super Dell” of Totally Awesome Computers should not be allowed in front of television cameras. If you live in Utah, you know why.
  • and another friend have told me that today was the release of “Poodle Hat,” the latest offering from ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic. I hope that they enjoy their new purchases.
  • I think that this weekend will include a Park City excursion.
  • In a very atypical move, I watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer tonight. I think that I did so because it was the series finale. It wasn’t bad…
  • …but, I was mainly just killing time before the Smallville season finale. Interesting. A definite departure from the “traditional” Superman mythos. And, as an added bonus feature: Terence Stamp lent his talents as the voice of Jor-El. (Fans of Superman: the Movie and Superman II will remember him as General Zod.) Press releases had kept the actor behind the voice under wraps until tonight’s broadcast… but had dropped the hint that it was someone connected to Superman lore. Next season should prove most interesting…
  • Utah drivers!!! Not all of them, but some… *shakes fist*
  • Toblerone White Chocolate Bars.
  • It seems as though Cartoon Network has once again shuffled their lineup.

That’s enough for tonight. Sleep comes.

Namaste.
