Sunday
Today definitely came under the heading of “Pleasant Valley Sunday.” After sleeping in, I was quite lazy for the better part of the afternoon. I finally got in gear and headed to Borders for a while for some drawrin’ time. Then, it was off to The Gateway to see The Recruit. I liked it. Interesting twists, although a touch predictable in spots.

Stray Toasters

  • Colin Farrell reminded me of Carson Daly.
  • This is going to be Colin Farrell week, it seems. I’ll be seeing him again next Sunday in Daredevil as Bullseye.
  • It seems as though there is going to be a movie based on the old TV show S.W.A.T. It seems as if it will feature Mr. Farrell (in the role played by Robert Urich in the series) and one Mr. Samuel L. Jackson. I remember S.W.A.T. being one of my favorite shows… and this was before my says as a fan of Robert Urich. In fact, I remember it being pretty popular with everyone in my then-Kindergarten and First Grade classes; we used to play S.W.A.T. during recess.
  • And, while on the trip through yesteryear, let me just say that I enjoyed watching a couple of classic episodes of Johnny Quest and Fantastic Four this afternoon.
  • …now if I could just rationalize my like of Stargate SG-1.
  • Looks like my brother will be spending part of his Spring Break here. Which is cool. He said that he wants to go/learn how to snowboard. That’s fairly easy to arrange since a friend of mine is a snowboarding instructor.

Answer to Last Week’s Trivia Question
No one was able to discover the source of the quote that I used as last week’s TQotD. So, here it is: It was the opening line to a short-lived ABC series called Salvage-1. It was about a junkyard owner (Andy Griffith) who wanted to (and did) build a rocket and send it to the moon. The series also starred a pre-Silver Spoons Joel Higgins and a pre-Spenser for Hire Richard Jaeckel.

Tomorrow starts yet another work week. And, if I’m not mistaken this week also marks the end of Joe Millionaire. Thank God. I will admit that I there is a part of me that wants to watch this episode – I want to see the reaction of the “lucky lady” when she finds out that Mr. Millionaire is really Joe Average. Personally, I’m hoping for a knock-down, drag out, hair-pulling, name-calling smackdown. But, I’m fairly sure that whatever makes it to the airwaves will be pretty tame. Oh well.

Namaste.
