captainsblogAh, but this one does. 'Tis been a long couple of evenings and I am in need of hay.
- Congratulations to all winners of the Hummer puzzler. The "small" amount on the gauge must've been the amount from his second effort after either the $99.99 limitation of the pump, or a similar limit on his credit card, required him to go back to the oil well a second time.
- The mp3 player arrived! For reasons lost to somebody else's comment page, it has duly been named "Elvis," and has been fitted quite smartly into its very cute blue wetsuit.
- For a variety of reasons which I will probably elaborate on later, I did not rise early today for the non-midnight screening of Rocky Horror, nor will I be holding on for its final midnight show in 90-odd minutes. Rather, the three of us saw Wall-E, which is every bit as good as its press clips. On a per-word-of-dialog basis, it may be the best motion picture ever made.
- I was about to futz around with the DVR upon seeing someone mention that in a little over an hour, NBC is rerunning the debut 1975 episode of the comedy show now (but not then) known as Saturday Night Live, which George Carlin hosted. Then I remembered that I already OWN the flippin' thing. If you don't, you should watch. Not even Doctor Who changed a generation of television the way that show did in its early days.
- Mea culpas to the dear Friends whose birthdays I have not noted this week, especially Kimmy's, whose 40th today deserves far more than I can fit on this remaining line. I shall try to make up for these transgressions in days ahead.
- I am physically incapable of discussing the Mets.
- Buenos nachos.
