Ladies and gentlemen, Anne Rice is leaving the building...

*yawn*

STAYING POWER...

I haven't felt inspired to blog anything about my life, but I figured I could at least clean up my links on the side this morning. I'd noticed a few days ago that several of the blogs I linked were dead. So... I decided to zap them. The biggest decision was whether or not to delete a really good friend's blog since he hasn't blogged for over 2 months. And then I noticed I hadn't linked Michael aka Dogpoet, so I added him.

Then I went on over and caught up on his always thoughtful musings. And at the end of the first page, I ran into this post.

So... um, I guess Jonno shouldn't be too mad at me for deleting his link, huh?

This is what happens when I get bored...

I actually shed a tear this morning when I read that Anita Mui had died. Heroic Trio is one of my favorite movies of all time. *sigh* I have nothing more to say...

I find this intriguing...

Oh geez... oh my.... oh god... I just watched THAT episode of Alias Season 2... if you've seen it, you know the one i'm talking about...

It aired after the Superbowl last year... the one where EVERYTHING changed... the one that just rocked my world.

GOD... how the hell have I not been watching this show first run????

If anyone wants to get me a relatively overpriced Christmas present that would make me love you forever and ever then head on over to eBay and make a bid...

I got an early Christmas present last night. My favorite band ever is Saint Etienne and they just played a couple of UK shows.

No, I didn't fly to London to see them in concert... i wish... but, they gave out cds at the show of three new Christmas songs. And thanks to the magic of the internet, I've got them now.

Lovely...

My friend Richard has suggested that we should all vote on this MarriagePoll.com in order to skew their intentionally skewed poll.

Go ye therefore...

I was just looking at my referral links and followed one back itno my archives and got a good laugh when I read this old post of mine...

I was excited because I had 3 gb of music on my harddrive...

Bwah ha ha...

Geez, I wish I could afford a 40gb iPod to replace my 30gb...

I don't have much time in my life to watch weekly TV shows, so the advent of TV on DVD has been, IMO, one of the greatest things to occur so far in the 21st Century.

The only reason that I've gotten to see 24, Sex in the City, The Sopranos, Six Feet Under and Alias is because they were released on DVD. Sure, I'm usually a season or two behind, but most of these shows are a hell of a lot more fun to watch in chunks of several hours. I also get to rewatch all of my favorite episodes of Angel and Buffy whenever I want, which is pretty nifty.

Currently, I'm on Episode 3 of Season 2 of Alias. Jesus Christ, I love that show! I'm renting the discs one by one. So, um... if anyone wants to simplify my life a bit by buying me a Christmas present... the box set is the first item on my Wish List.

I'm just saying, that's all....

Suspect Device by Greg Peters is absolutely brilliant this week. This whole episode really pisses me off, but I'm glad the mother has taken such a proactive reaction to the situation. I am rather annoyed that once more the world gets to see Louisianans acting like a bunch of backwoods hicks again though...

I mean, c'mon... isn't California the state we're supposed to be making fun of these days...

I have a little red monkey that lives on the top of my iMac's flatscreen. The other nite he fell off and into the drink I was having while surfing. I wrote a haiku about it...

Tiny red monkey
from flatscreen to cocktail glass.
Happy drunk monkey.

Well, I saw Return of the King this morning... the fastest three hours I've ever spent in my life.

I'm not gonna spoil one thing, but the consensus among everyone I saw it with was that it's everything you want it to be. And I may see it again next Wednesday...

Air... Talkie Walkie...

THERE'S A NEW AIR ALBUM COMING!!!!

and if you liked Moon Safari, you're gonna be oh so happy...

Life is good... I've scored not one, but two, separate passes to see Return of the King two separate times before it opens...

The first is next Wednesday. I'll let ya know how fabulous it is...

HELLBOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The trailer is up, yo!

Sturtle started my day off with a nice laugh today...
