George

Last night I experienced my first episode of Dead Like Me. It was the episode with the komodo dragon, TNA Airlines (ha, ha), the one where George meets Trip.

The last thing that I remember seeing Mandy Patinkin in was Alien Nation (the movie, not the TV series, though I did watch that one faithfully). I never watched Chicago Hope. It was also good to see Jasmine Guy working again, despite how much I disliked her Whitley in A Different World.

I must say that I've pretty much fallen for Ellen Muth (George). Yup, move over Caroline Dhavernas.

EDIT - Oh yeah, Miss Muth's birthday is only three days after mine, so I'll not have a difficutl time remembering it.

An MP3 player?

There was a slight chance that I perchance could have convinced Rachel into getting an iPod for around $200.00 or so, but when I mentioned it to her, she completely disinterested in it. I was pretty disappointed, but well, them's the breaks.

Later on, I talked to her about it, and she said she meant that perhaps we could get one for Christmas. My eyes lit up at that thought, since prices for electronics typically take a drop over time, which would equal getting a decent capacity one for an excellent price, or paying more for something that can hold more.

Then I had and vocalized a horrible thought, "Maybe I should get all six teeth I need extracted pulled out for Christmas."

Rachel didn't disagree. I must be losing my mind. Really, I would put an MP3 player to good use.

An Explanation of Airport Identifier Codes

Yes, really. Ask Skygod.

Whew.

Wow. Oval house vs. Hurricane Ivan.

Interesting. Of course, the thing is made with reinforced concrete, so. . .

The damage actually caused by Ivan is staggering.

Completely unrelated, I've forgotten that today is Talk Like a Pirate Day. So, uh, avast!

Or something.

Law & Order Way

Created in New York in honor of Law & Order's 15th anniversary.

Jerry Orbach will be missed this season, even though I know that he'll be on another Law & Order spin off. It'll be interesting to see how Dennis Farina does. I remember enjoying Crime Story way back when.
