An anchor (I forget which one) on ESPN's Sportscenter last night went into a commercial break with this bizarre teaser:
"A billion, that's billion with a B, will be watching the world's best teams in the World Cup starting tomorrow... we'll tell you why you should be one of them ( Read more... ) -

The Netflix has slowed down a bit. The Yes Men (#W-3) still sits unwatched by the TV after a month. Turns out I'll be musical-directing How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying this summer, and the entire New York Public Library system doesn't have a single usable copy of the movie, so it's next on my Netflix queue, but of course I'm not ( Read more... ) -

By 9 AM Friday morning, Sam & I were flying out of LaGuardia to charming Brookings, South Dakota, for a wedding of Sam's friends, so I missed the Noah's Ark craziness back in New York. Imagine our shock when we got our wireless connection in the hotel working on Friday afternoon, and the first email I got was from the always-handy Emergency Email ( Read more... ) -

Sam and I (and my parents and brother) spent the weekend at Kutsher's, a Borscht Belt hotel whose best days, sadly, are behind it ( Read more... ) -

I don't normally watch the daytime edition of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, but I'm back at my apartment just for a half-hour to charge my Palm, so I flipped over to it to kill some time. It's College Week, and some college-age guy who seems fairly well-spoken, if dopey in a college-guy sort of way, gets this question:
What result of a squared ( Read more... ) -

We are plowing through Netflix now. When we got back to Brooklyn from Long Island (on the slowest LIRR train ever) on Saturday night, we watched The Squid and The Whale (#S-1), which we both enjoyed, although the matter-of-fact darkness (and occasional grossness) of it took us by surprise. I was under the impression that the movie was about how ( Read more... ) -
Weights, I hear... make you hurt... a lot.
I've had a cheap membership to the YMCA downstairs for two months, but kept putting off going to the gym because I didn't have any decent sneakers. To say that the pair I brought to both trips to Burning Man got "destroyed" wouldn't be far from the truth. That and running on a street or treadmill with a cloud of playa dust behind you might be a ( Read more... ) -
NetFlix, please forgive us.
Haven't mentioned our Netflix queue in a while... and that's because we've been laaaaaaaaaazy. It's not our fault that we love to watch any episode of the Law and Order franchise that's on at any given hour of any day, dammit. And that's in addition to Family Guy--which I got Sam into-- and Sex and the City-- which I was already keen on, but Sam ( Read more... ) -

My usual band rehearsal was cancelled tonight, which means that for the first time in a year, I'll be able to watch Gilmore Girls.
That is officially the gayest thing I've ever said. -
Veggie pride.
Oh lord, do I love The Onion.

Chicken Feeling BetterDILLON, SC -- A chicken at Perdue Farms' Dillon plant downplayed reports of illness Tuesday, saying she was feeling much better. "I might have had a touch of some sort of flu, but I'm over my fever and keeping the ol' corn down. B'cawk!" the broiler told trade journal Watt ( Read more... )
