Another day done. I didn’t get as much done as I wanted… or would have liked.

But, there’s always tomorrow.

Stray Toasters

  • Gummy worms. ‘Nuff said.
  • By way of Slashdot: Article about Star Wars (Eps. IV – VI) DVDs.
  • I just saw a very cool commercial for the Clark Planetarium.
  • Goodbye Kitty
    (Disclaimer: No real cats were harmed in the making of this journal entry.)

  • …speaking of which: , click here.
  • Keep on looking forward, no use in looking ’round;
    Hold your head above the ground and they won’t bring you down.

  • “I got points off for writing ‘incesters’ instead of ‘ancestors.’ Same difference.”

  • Even though I don’t care for Sealab 2021, I have to admit that the “trailer” for Tinfins made me laugh.
  • I just finished watching Pluto Nash. Not a great movie, but it was mindless fun… I’d still have to put it on the Cool World-Long Kiss Goodnight Scale. Mid 7s to low 8s. I’ve been an Eddie Murphy fan since… oy… his early Saturday Night Live appearances. While I watched Nash, was giving me the play-by-play of her latest Bollywood fare. As scary as it might be, I may have to watch it.
  • Time Squad!
  • By way of Backwash: Marry Blaire.
  • I just received spam titled “Re: Spiderman Pharmacy”

Poll of the Day
Based on a couple of things that I saw while driving around today…

Quote of the Day
Comedian Alonzo Bodden, on The Late, Late Show with Craig Kilborn:

I think there ought to be a rule: If you’re hanging out with a bunch of women and they don’t help you get laid, one of them should take one for the team.

Namaste.
