Star Treking across the J.J.-verse

May 18, 2009

I saw Star Trek over the week­end.  I thought it was a fun, refresh­ing “reboot” of the Trek fran­chise.  I could get into what I liked and dis­liked about the movie and its plot, but I’m not a movie review blog, I’d be hard pressed to talk about that with­out spoil­ers, and there are plenty […]

That thing?

February 14, 2008

That thing?  On the tele­vi­sion and inter­nets tonight?  Was that an episode of Alias?  Or was that an episode of Lost?

The Daily Show on iTunes

March 8, 2006

Hmmm.… it would appear that you can now sub­scribe to The Daily Show on the iTunes video store.  It's prob­a­bly eas­ier and less buggy than the whole RSS+Torrent thing I tried a while back, but I am not sure I quite care that much about the Daily Show or even have the time to watch […]

Mostly TV stuff…

May 29, 2005

Mmmm… big, juicy heel blis­ters make walk­ing fun and excit­ing!  Going back to CitizenX's mole­skin ref­er­ence from the other day (was that the blank book or the cloth?), does mole­skin work on blis­ters after the fact?
In down­loaded tele­vi­sion news.…  there are only a few shows I watch (all done via Bit­Tor­rent) and I missed out on […]

An open letter to yo’ motha’

February 8, 2005

Dear Spam­mers: I have no desire to increase the length or cir­cum­fer­ence of my penis, nor do I want to increase the vol­ume or pro­jec­tile dis­tance of my semen.  Thank you.
Dear Musi­cians (includ­ing you, Peter Mur­phy): putting your mod­ern, dig­i­tally recorded, multi-track music through a fil­ter that intro­duces the hiss and pop of a bad needle […]

12-Sided Died!

January 18, 2005

Do they make dog bis­cuits for cats?  Ebenezer seems to have a thing for hard, crusty, vir­tu­ally ined­i­ble bread–the sort of thing that has about the same den­sity as a Milk­bone.  It has got­ten to the point where I can no longer leave a fresh loaf of bread unat­tended on the counter.  He decides he […]

[Title Goes Here]

September 15, 2004

“Father, for­give me, as it has been sev­eral weeks since my last post­ing.”  I fig­ured I would start this one with a few enter­tain­ing pictures:

Since the last post, a num­ber of things have occurred that I thought at the time would be great for writ­ing about here.  Now, though, I have dif­fi­culty remem­ber­ing what […]

REVELATIONS AND OBSERVATIONS!

January 14, 2004

The rea­son The Pre­cious was hav­ing occa­sional puke­fests is that she has been eat­ing Kate's fancy soap–a bar soap that is extremely soft and kept in a lit­tle bowl, not unlike a cat bowl, in the bath­room.  I recently had to start leav­ing that par­tic­u­lar bathroom's door open to equal­ize tem­per­a­tures and pre­vent frozen pipes.
The […]

I dislike origami, but enjoy pop-up.  Go figure.

January 13, 2004

So, I went back to Bor­ders today to get a nec­es­sary tech­ni­cal book, and picked up Pop-Up Spooky Cas­tle on the way to the check­out counter.  I think that I am not the tar­get demo­graphic.  Regard­less, I man­aged to find one that was not miss­ing any pieces.  The thing was heav­ily dis­counted, plus had another […]

“Be Back Before Dawn”

December 13, 2003

Buffy Sea­son 5 is much more dark and sad than the rest of the Buffy sea­son.  Added bonus: the guy who plays Burgel in the movie Kafka plays a sort of fee­ble bad guy.  I would say it ends on the ulti­mate cliffhanger because they knew the show was being moth­balled on the one network […]

News From Around My Mind

December 3, 2003

Some­thing about the abil­ity to store food that should nor­mally be refrig­er­ated (like cheese and meat) at room tem­per­a­ture does not make me say, “wow!  Look at what we can do with SCIENCE!”  It instead makes me say “what's wrong with it?”  From those microwave din­ners you did not have to freeze (they were big […]
