Someone who wrote for the cartoon show Futurama loves the Umbrellas of Cherbourg. There is an episode that flashes back to the year 2000, before Fry gets accidentally cryogenically frozen. In the past, he has a dog. Anyway, Fry finds the dog's fossilized body and is about to clone it, when they figure out that the dog was 15 years old when it died ( Read more... )

((n.b. If you're new to the Play-Yan Micro, it's an mp3/mp4 media player that Nintendo makes for the Game Boy Micro and the Nintendo DS. It goes in the GBA slot of the DS ( Read more... )

Well, it was a good two months listening to you on the subway, at work, on a long, sleepy flight to PDX and back. Maybe you didn't like the constant replay of Use Your Illusion II? Or was it the Meat Loaf? Maybe you wish I listened to more U2, like the archetypal iPod listener from tv ads. Whatever it was, thanks...for nothing ( Read more... )

Just after crossing 47th St. next to 6th Avenue after work today, three office jocks, standing around on the sidewalk, talking ( Read more... )
