Wednesday
Another decent day. I don’t know who decided that mid-September was the perfect time to turn down Utah’s thermostat, but I wish they’d given me a little more notice.

I finally saw last season’s Law & Order finale. Very nice. I also saw, for the first time, the episode of The Simpsons where Maude Flanders dies. Funny. In an animated death kind of way. And it even had Shawn Colvin. Double Bonus! And, I even saw one of the many episodes of Smallville that I missed last season.

Stray Toasters

  • Talked with Mom, briefly, this morning. All’s well with the southern contingent of the family-unit.
  • Common Errors in English Usage (, help spread this one around…)
  • In the “Best Near-Blasphemous Game-Related T-Shirt” Category: This
  • “I’m expecting you to drop dead any second…”

  • By way of Backwash: Pimp Watch
  • R2EB. *braincramp*
  • Someone in Yahoo! Groups’ Lilguyz Group made a duck template and now people are making MicroHeroes out of ducks. There are a few Justice League ducks waddling around… and it reminded me of the Justice Ducks from Darkwing Duck. And that made me laugh.
  • “AAAH! Work?! Where? Don’t let it get me!!!” –
  • Also from Backwash: Big Brother Writes Down Stats
  • Those “Thank You” commercials from Citi Financial…? Stoo. Pid.
  • This is worthwhile, if only for the caption.
  • I knew that The Dukes of Hazzard movie was in the works. What I didn’t know was that Jessica Simpson will be Daisy Duke. Given the way that many TV-to-cinema translations have gone of late, I didn’t even need this news to decide not to see this.

Quote of the Day
Like I said earlier: The duck-templated Micros made me think of Darkwing Duck…

Steelbeak: If dere’s one t’ing I ‘ate, it’s excuses!… Make dat two t’ings I ‘ate. Excuses, an’ a seven-ten split!

Namaste.
