Word of the Day

"tablescape"

Oh, wait, that's not a word!! I guess, if you have your own sort-of cooking show, you can make up your own word! I don't have a show of any kind, but maybe I'll take a stab at making up my own word anyway- I'll even use it in a sentence.

"Later tonight, when I am tired, I'm going to climb into my sleepscape."

W-W-What?!

"(Kelly) Clarkson will likely release the new album in early 2007. One of the guest musicians on the album will be punk rock legend Mike Watt (Minutemen, Firehose, Iggy Pop & The Stooges), who contributes his bass skills to six tracks on the disc."

Didn't George Costanza once say something about "worlds colliding..."?

I'm a few days late with this but...

...take that Mark McGwire

Thanks SNL!

Now I remember exactly why I don't like The Shins.

Good job, eh.

I draw your attention to the following news article out of Toronto:

I must say that sometimes the Puckheads show themselves to be a little more human and humane than we here in the States. I was particularly impressed by the judge's rational for his decision- maybe a child's happiness is more important than "tradition." No, not "maybe," definitely.

So, well done.

Good Movie, Bad Movie

Bubba Ho-Tep: I could not even begin to explain this movie to you. I'll simply say that when it was over I felt like Elvis (yes, that Elvis!) had regained some of the dignity he lost during the Las Vegas years. I was also thrilled to learn today that there is going to be a sequel.

The Producers: Ugh. The first one was H-Y-S-T-E-R-I-C-A-L-L-Y funny, the remake was painfully bad. I was reminded of all of the reasons that I dislike Nathan Lane, of why it puzzles me that anyone finds Uma Thurman attractive, and of the fact that Ferris Bue- er, Mathew Broderick, used to be funny.
