I started to write about this earlier, but got caught up in work and then deleted my ranting draft. But c’mon – 4 – 0 ?! Good lord.

As you know I’m too obsessed w/ YTMND.com, but sometimes they have some gems.

As you also know I love ELO and this cracked me up.

For some reason there are two good Ted Danson things too. 1 | 2

Sadly it took me a min to get the joke in that 2nd one.

Everyone knows I’m always joking about neti pots and other “cleanse” products. I had been talking about neti pots at work recently when I had my massive cold two weeks ago. Here’s a good video on what not to do. It’s a bit long, but stick with it. (Thanks ‘Tine!)

Good lord. It’s like the Express-News is *trying* to win a contest for worst site ever. Don’t the editors know how to use teh intarweb [sic]?

Today’s example-

There’s a story on the homepage about Lisa Wong, a restaurateur in SA. So I click the story link. note: I’m not going to mock the fact that this is the top story

The blurb before the first paragraph of the article states

This is the eighth in an occasional series about San Antonians who have changed the flavor of food in the city.

My ISP is upgrading some mail servers this week. If you need to email me, use my gmail address this week.

I’m not liking Comcast’s network service. My traffic slows down randomly at various times of the day. I frequently wish I had stayed with Speakeasy.net and not gotten cable tv, shocking as that sounds (although I am getting used to watching soccer all the time again).

K&L pointed out to me that only a few movies have gotten 5 asterisks from me. Well, 3 that I’ve blogged about. They were right, I thought there had been more: Kill Bil vol 2, Pan’s Labyrinth and Children of Men.

An email I sent to the DMWT list:

I’ll never stop doing the play,” Kerlon said. “They’ll need to create a new law if they want me to stop.”



Some players say the move is disrespectful because it breaks soccer’s unwritten code. They contend Kerlon uses the move to show off, not to score goals.


“It is a provocation. He may have to be sidelined for several years if he gets kicked in the face,” said Emerson Leao, the former Brazil goalkeeper and current Atletico Mineiro coach. “I hope that never happens.” story

I need to finish decorating my place. I have a lot of wine I need to invite people over to drink.

Just a follow-up to my original post. I’ve fixed my ipod’s screen and I’m as good as new.

I got a new screen for my ipod from Ebay. The replacement screen cost about $4 or around $10 including shipping from Hong Kong. It came w/ a little plastic wedge stick thing that made opening the case back up a breeze.

I’m glad to know I’m not the only one missing breakfast tacos. HT-blog has a post up about them.

Lots of New York restaurants offer breakfast burritos, but sadly, that.s not the same thing. They.re always in that overstuffed, football-sized Mission style, which, despite my having a hearty appetite, is just a bit much for breaking the fast. Not to mention, these can run you $7 to even $13, which is expensive for a quick, morning meal.

I usually make them myself though. All weekend. All the time. Mmmm. I’d make them during the week too, but I keep oversleeping. Plus, I’m not really supposed to take food on the bus. . . . because we all know I’d be running out the door, tacos in hand. . .

That blog is really well written. There’s a recipe on there too if you’re interested.

Man, the DVD sadness continues. I’ve gotten a bit more used to cable being a timesuck, but when I went to look up my queue history for this month I realized I still don’t have much to “round up”. But even with the lack of quantity, I do have some quality picks.

Yet another reason why I still don’t like the Sooners
