The San Diego Comic-Con announced their next attempt at mass on-line registration: Saturday, Feb. 5 at 9:00am PST. Guess I know what I'll be doing for two hours that day.

I love Martin Freeman, but it turns out that the only way I can stand to watch The Office (UK) on DVD is to turn on subtitles, play at 2x (the subtitles are still visible), and then hit Play at normal speed when Tim comes on. The US Office falls in to the same uncomfortable-to-watch category as Seinfeld for me. I figured that the UK version ( Read more... )

While I was running errands yesterday, I saw a black Trans Am-like car approaching me with a set of red scanning lights right where you'd expect them on KITT. As it passed me I saw its license plate: TETSAIGA.
