But No Mention Of Lasagne

Some more odds and ends…

I can’t believe it, but I actually laughed at a Garfield strip in the paper this morning:

This seems like a throwback to the original Garfield strips, which were actually, y’know, funny at times. Hard to believe, but true.

Or maybe my sense of humor is just getting… old. That must be it, since today’s Dennis The Menace also made me laugh. Or at least nod in agreement.

Speaking of getting old, Pioneer has announced it’s finally going to stop making LaserDisc players. What the…? Who knew they were still making them after the advent of DVD and then Blu-Ray? Maybe there’s a market for my old LD’s after all…

The mid-season premiere of Battlestar Galactica from last Friday night continues to haunt me. Wow. The Chicago Tribune’s Maureen Ryan has compiled a number of writer interviews and such about it in her column. (MAJOR SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN THE EPISODE! Even the URL was a spoiler, so I had to tinyurl it.) I spent a long time this morning reading through that, and it was very illuminating. I was a little disappointed with the first part of this season (from way back whenever it was on – last summer?), but it looks like they’re going to be making up for it heading into the final stretch here.

Speaking of Spoilers (and BSG), commenter yellojkt has an interesting discussion about that in his Foma* blog entry yesterday. Yellojkt also recently had a fascinating in-depth series on what he considers to be the four big failures of the Bush administration, which starts here. Well worth reading. Yello brings the whup-ass!

Latre.

    I stopped short of actually laughing, but I concur that Garfield strip is pretty funny. You’re not getting old, nor is your sense of humor.

    Hey, I can tell when I’m being deliberately baited, remember?

    Thanks for all the links. People want to discuss what they have just seen which is why it is so hard to stay spoiler free. Several of the links from that article you linked to are horrendous spoilers just in their headlines. And I think the big reveal at the end of the episode was a cop-out. But the rest of the season has my hyped.

    I think the big reveal at the end of the episode was a cop-out.

    I kinda thought that way at the time too, but Ron Moore’s comments in the above linked article changed my mind.
