So 'Canceled' means it's good?
I'm watching a show called Journeyman over on Hulu, and it's really good! Of course, it only aired one season before being canceled, but now I come to find that the guy behind it worked on both Sports Night and The West Wing ( Read more... ) -
In Which Ben Throws Out his Back, and then Goes to the Gym
So last Sunday I sneezed. This was not just any sneeze, but one that immobilized my lower back. I spent all of Sunday on Sara and Dave's floor in horrible pain.

This book went through phases for me, from the interestingly intellectual, to horrifying, to lulls and monotony to wonder and sheer 'wow.' After finishing this book, I have a mind to look at the bible, among many other things ( Read more... ) -
Donald and the Gorilla
Thanks to Fred, I've rediscovered that fantastic Disney cartoon from the when we were kids! They don't make cartoons like this anymore! Of course, I remember it being much scarier, but that radio announcer still has an omnious tone. Anyway, here's the cartoon thanks to youtube!
