Geek moment on Knight Rider
Let me be clear: the new Knight Rider series is pretty much crap. But their Halloween episode redeemed itself when one of the characters dressed up as Captain Jack Harkness. And everyone in the KITT cave recognised him as the "time traveling bisexual," including Bruce Davison's character. (Bruce Davison being the other redeeming feature of the -
New Blog
As some of you have undoubtedly surmised, I've largely given up on LJ. My circle of friends here has diminished considerably over the years, and I'm just not currently in the mood to write about the mundane aspects of my life. I will be keeping the account, since I know how my moods change, however. My main blogging activities for the forseeable ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Choose a Power
Depends how fast i could fly, but "fly" is my gut reaction answer here. There's all sorts of places I'd like to visit, but just getting there is kind of the cool part, isn't it? That way I can stop and look at other things along the way that catch my eye, which doesn't work for teleportation. No interest in invisibility. I've always thought ( Read more... ) -
Visit home
Thing I learned on my recent visit home to see my family:
Dad has tried watching Torchwood but couldn't get into it. Said it was too much like Doctor Who in its zaniness.
What Dad learned:
Torchwood is a Doctor Who spin-off.
Go figure. -
Last American Idol post
I'm in musical pain. After tonight's performance (and the volume of screaming fans) I strongly suspect Archuleta is going to be the winner tomorrow. Teeny-bopper appeal is going to win out over bankability (seriously, how many people are actually going to pay for a 17 year old crooner?). On the birght side, that still leaves David Cook in the ( Read more... ) -
Geocaching
Jerry and I have found a new hobby: geocaching! In this age of the internet, all you have to do is go to www.geocaching.com, put in a location, and it will tell you where nearby caches are with coordinates. Then you go out with a GPS device, find the cache, sign a logbook, and perhaps swap swag inside the cache. It's exercise, its something we ( Read more... ) -
American Idol stuff
Ok, out of date again. This as been sitting on a zip drive all week waiting for upload.
I totally admit I'm not very knowledgable about singing. I generally have no idea what Randy means when he describes a performance as "pitchy." But Tuesday was a rare time when I could clearly delineate everyone according to performance:
Syesha and Carly - ( Read more... ) -
American Idol
Yeah, I realize this post is about 4 days too late. Better late than never.
I more or less side with Simon, and I more or less side with the general voting...until this last week. David Archuleta bores me to tears now. Sure, its impressive for a 17 year old, but I don't buy albums based on age.
I'm going to have to disagree with sainthuck about David Cook ( Read more... ) -
Season of Silly Politics
"With all due respect. I won twice as many states as Sen. Clinton. I've won more of the popular vote than Sen. Clinton. I have more delegates than Sen. Clinton. So, I don't know how somebody who's in second place is offering vice presidency to the person who's in first place," he said.
Obama also said the Clinton campaign was "hoodwinking" voters ( Read more... )
