Beeps Or Electric Shocks?

February 23rd, 2008 · Comments Off

I stayed up too late last night playing with my PS3 (especially Heavenly Sword, which is beautiful). Very tired today even though I’ve got tax-related stuff to do.
In the news today:
The U.S. is ready to go live with a “virtual fence” on the border with Mexico, in the hopes of curbing some illegal immigration. [...]

February 22nd, 2008 · Comments Off

Favorite recent Google search term that led someone to this blog: “is the television a good or bad friend”. The television is a bad friend, my friend. Oh, you think it’s giving, but it’s really just taking and taking (mostly your time). It can’t help you move. It can’t drive you [...]

The Pie Is A Lie

February 18th, 2008 · Comments Off

Not much going on here. N and I watched the DVD of Waitress last night. We both liked it. Interesting combination of comedy and pathos, without overdoing either one. Some really nice cinematography. And some great looking pies. It starred local girl Keri Russell, and Nathan Fillion (whom I’ll watch in anything). [...]
