Uh hmm. Finished reading Entertainment Weekly – pretty good issue. I want so much to dislike anything about the new movie, “Day After Tomorrow” (anything depicting the destruction of my hometown has earned my ire of late the last couple of years), but there’s enough reporting that “Day After Tomorrow” is more cheese and camp [...]

“The exodus is about to begin,” noted Jim Watkins, the WB 11 news anchorman (aka Kaity Tong’s co-anchor), while he introduced the tonight’s news segment on Memorial Day/summer driving trips. Yep, that’s right, it’ll be Friday of the Memorial Day weekend and people are off on vacation. Silly me, I have to go to work [...]

This is just plain freaky. Saturday/Sunday was summery. Today is April weather – in the 50 to 60 degree range, partly cloudy/drizzly/increasingly overcast/expected hail/thunderstorm/etc. Huh? Where oh where is spring? I got around to finally watching an entire “24″ episode last night – wow, that’s quite a season finale. I kept thinking, “No way is [...]

Responding to YC’s entry, I was working on tweaking the new template. The old font was Garamond, and I put it back that way. The Veranda stuff is the default. The sans serif font is now Futura (for those that have it — otherwise it’s your generic Sans system font), which I think I like [...]

Yahoo! News – Gum Returns to Singapore After 12 Years To think that we have prescription drug problems — because the US badgered Singapore about it during a free trade agreement, now it will allow the sale of “therapeutic” gum — but the stuff costs $11 and it’s a controlled substance — you have to [...]

Quest USA, Da Tiao Zhan – The First Chinese Reality TV Show in the US Imagine four Chinese teams doing the Amazing Race, just on a smaller scale — from Boston to Miami… welcome to Quest USA. I’m just curious about how it will go and how much budget they put into this one. See [...]

Ok, kinda neato…. But, I really hate the new font and look. Doesn’t work well with this kind of thing. Looks like Verdana-ish(?), which are normally ones that I like. But but, I dunno, can we change the font? What’s this Advanced Editing thinggy here….. too good for me. Now all we need is the [...]

Replying to SSW’s comments in Saturday in the Park with George [If you link to the article you're commenting on in your article, you will automatically set up a cross-referrenced comment, so you don't have to hit "Comment" anymore -- and everyone should get notified about replies.] No, I didn’t know the difference between Manet [...]

The title of today’s blog is something right out of today’s “Daily News” (NY’s hometown paper), wherein the resident tv critic David Bianculli highlights the reality of American television next fall (or already in effect) . Some commentary off the top of my head: “Alias” – I had taped the season finale last night, but [...]

For our members, I’ve upgraded the WordPress software (the one we’re using to blog) to the current version, 1.20 . I still have to tweak the template. The back end has a lot more features, including an improved editor and now you can upload pictures yourself. Explore and let me know what you think.
