This Makes Me Confused - Boat Regulation Veto
So, my blog can't be all sunshine, rainbows, and sparkly happiness, so these are the posts about things I don't understand, at all.
I heard on NPR today that Mike Easley, the NC governor, is looking to potentially veto his third bill in his entire term of office. It turns out, there is a new bill to allow cars to tow fishing boats with a maximum ( Read more... ) -

This Makes Me Happy - Spaced on US DVDs
Okay, everyone knows Andrew and I love Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz (okay, I've got a massive crush on Simon Pegg, if I must be perfectly honest). However, here is where it all started.

Kitchen-Floor Conflict Intensifies As Rival House Cats Claim Same Empty Bag
"What people unfamilar with the history here must understand is that this seemingly empty and barren paper bag has rapidly become the third most important site in the area after the scratching post in the living room and the breakfast-nook windowsill," former CIA analyst ( Read more... ) -
Where my geekery shows itself off
One of the characters that was introduced on Heroes last night was a man named DL. He looks EXACTLY like Gunn from Angel, at least in certain lighting situations. We spent nearly two episodes going, "Is it?" "No." "Yes?" It's not, sadly, but man the guy that does play him looks like a brother, or at least a cousin. I IMDBed him, and lo and ( Read more... )
