Scrubs switched over to ABC from NBC. So far, I'm not digging the move. Not sure what they've done, but the quality of the film looks different. I'm sure they're filming it for HD, so that must be part of it, but still. It looks overly large (the top of JD's head is cut off on my old standard TV, which was never the case before) and just, well, ( Read more... )

So, time was when BF was a major assault for Mary and I. We'd plan ahead, have our lists (with photos) and attack plans ready. I'd have to clean out my car to make room for all the things we'd come home with. Normally, it was on BF that I would buy the majority of gifts for the under-16 set in the family, and any spiff electronics. It was always ( Read more... )

Why is Disney now referring to Tinker Bell as a fairy? She's a pixie, not a fairy. Throughout the movie, she's referred to as pixie. Pixie dust, etc. Never as a fairy. Why is she a fairy now? The two aren't interchangeable. Fairies are elegant, magical, supernatural creatures. Pixies are much baser, less well-dressed, and generally helpful to ( Read more... )

I am so done with the heat wave that has had us roasting lately. I *thought* we were supposed to be cooler this week, what the heck happened? It's 8pm, and still over 80 degrees outside. What's up with that? The kids act like complete wild things when it's this hot, it's so hard to get them calmed down after recess, everyone's cranky. Enough ( Read more... )

Mark and Bill did WELL this week. I think they would have been first to the Pit stop if Mark's pack hadn't broken, and if Bill had been able to be a little more deceptive with the whiney blond wife of the football player. Interesting that they were the only ones to try the computer route rather than the physical one, definitely a better move for ( Read more... )

Tonight was the first episode of the Amazing Race, and Mark & Bill had a viewing party. They did pretty well for a couple of forty year olds...came in fourth...but it was pretty interesting to hear some of the things that didn't get included in the tape. Bill also apparently taught himself Portuguese on the plane on the way there, with the aid of a ( Read more... )

So, I just found out a couple of friends of mine are going to be on the show The Amazing Race this season. And it's not like they're distant friends....no, they're local. I see one of them at con meetings every month, and worked with his wife at the office in June/July. Of course, he travels constantly on business, so him being missing at a meeting ( Read more... )
