Famous Failures

Y'know, I actually have the last TWO BSG write-ups done. I just never remember to post them. Ah well, three is a magic number.

Anyway, this was cool. Jordan? Seriously?

Ladies Night

While I am relieved that a stupid lawsuit actually got dismissed (in NYC no less!), I do wonder how it would have gone if the gender situation had been reversed.

What an amazing world

It just struck me that today, on the 62nd anniversary of the United States bombing Nagasaki, that I received an email from a German friend of mine with an mp3 of music from a video game about World War II. Hmmm. Things get better after all. Eventually.

Typography

This was up on Yahoo the other day.



I like it. Very sharp.

Here is a great article so that you to can get uppity when someone confuses font with typeface. I know *I* needed more things to get uppity about. (HT to Todd from a million years ago.)

Pop vs. Soda

Now it can be told! (Always said "soda" m'self.)

The Random Thoughts Blog

It's Friday!

I haven't read any news this week. Last thing I heard was the Foley stuff and the Amish. Now I'm Current Event free. I'm more relaxed than I have been in months! I guess ignorance IS bliss!

Big Thunderstorm right now. In Phoenix that's a big deal. She Who Is My Wife is in a room full of thunder-phobic kindergartners, so good luck, honey!

Saw the latest Bond trailer. Casino Royale. I actually recognized scenes from the book! Is that allowed? (Not to worry: Lots of scenes that Ian Fleming never even dreamed of.)

Of course, the big news is GALACTICA STARTS BACK UP TONIGHT! I haven't watched the first act that Sci-Fi put up on line. I haven't even watched all the webisodes yet. Maybe we'll do that tonight. Then the two hour premier can be a THREE hour premier.

Coffeemate creamers now has rasberry-chocolate. This may be better that Galactica AND Star Trek. No, really. (Ok, just looked on the web site - both the Pumkin Spice AND Gingerbread flavors are available now. I may be drinking WAY too much coffee.)

I got Danny Elfman's first concert piece this week. Serenada Schizophrenia. Quite good. Very Elfman, sure, so you might have a couple of Beetlejuice flashbacks, but a little bigger than his latest film work. I'll put it up there with Nightmare Before Christmas. Bernard Hermann should get co-writing credit as always, but that's ok too.

Still no Scarecrow and Mrs. King on DVD. Just so's y'all know.

Keep flying!

How's the weather up here? Smarter!

C'mon. You had to know that I'd link to this.

As some of you have noticed

I cannot spell thier correctly to save my life. Which means saving yours is out of the question. I'll try. Really I shall.
