Lesson #1: Don’t ignore the baby.\ The baby monitor in the kitchen isn’t usually on anymore because of some newly acquired static. The static is probably caused by one of our neighbors having recently setup their own baby monitor (the pain of living close to lots of people). So this morning when I woke up […]
Until last night, I’d never tried haggis and never really wanted to. But, we went to a lovely Scottish restaurant last night (“we” being Arun, Bert Bos, Chaals, Chris Lilley, Shawn, Carolie, Richard Ishida, Thomas and Liam – they were all here for the W3C AC Rep meeting), and they had haggis as an appetizer. […]
It’s cold and rainy in Edinburgh and the hotel wi-fi sucks. I think I’m almost done with my presentations for this week and I’ve already registered for the conference and hit a grocery store (disappointingly, they didn’t have Smarties, Kinder Eggs or orange Lilt). I watched Top Gear on real TV and caught the UK […]
From The Salon article about The OC finale: every scene with [Mischa Barton] in it had a way of reminding you that you had a Pop Tart in the toaster or laundry in the dryer.\ I have absolutely no idea what this means, but I kind of love it anyway. Mischa has been soooo bad […]
Studio 60 Preview looks awesome! Slide over, Grey’s Anatomy. You’ve got some competition headin’ your way. Too bad there are four decent things on Thursdays at 9pm. Can’t The Powers That Be spread out the good shows a little? Sheesh.\ The CW video montage looks like a big pile of teen cheese. (And can you […]
Veronica Mars was renewed for season 3! Let’s do the dance of happy, happy, joy, joy:\ It’s just a jump to the left\ And then a step to the right\ With your hands on your hips\ You bring your knees in tight\ But it’s the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane,\ Let’s do the […]
Now that the TV-season is over, whatever will we chat about? And no, don’t say baseball.\ In super happy news, Kevin came home at a decent time last night. Whooo. It’s like crazy-time is over! YAY!\ In other, almost desperate news, there is only one Diet Dr Pepper in the house! Eeeep.
Max had another soccer game on Saturday. He has so much fun there, I have to recommend it to all parents of young children. It is so much more interactive and physically demanding than tee-ball or little league. (It’s practically non-stop running for an hour, instead of standing around waiting to bat or for someone […]
The Supernatural finale last night was so awesome! It had everything a great finale should: angsty confrontations, emotional realizations, demon-y exposition. Dean’s raw rage was so palpable it was scary. “I LIED!” Eeeep. That freaked me out, and he is the good guy.\ The TVGuide.com reviewer agrees with me. YAY! For some reason, I get […]
Apple Computer will continue to charge only \$0.99 for music through iTunes.\ YAY! I love iTunes. Since I have discovered it, I have gone from spending \$15 once a year for an entire CD to spending \$60 (or more, hee) a year for only my favorite songs. While my spending has increased four-fold, my enjoyment […]
