I’m leavin on a jet plane train… – 3x Thursday

Posted on October 14, 2004 | 1 comment
1. When’s the last time you went on vacation? Where’d you go?
London, England. Short vacation – Chicago/Evanston, IL (which I’m currently en route to).
2. What’s your favorite mode of transportation to get to/from/go on vacation? Plane? Train? Boat?
I love the train! It’s a mile from my house. Today I left my house at 5:25 for the 5:34 train. Parked 100 yards from the train. And guess what? We left at 5:34!!!
3. How important are vacations for the human spirit? Do you think it’s healthy for someone to go 20 years without a vacation? Why/why not?
I need them. I think that some people don’t, it just depends.
Bonus Question for Comments: What’s your ideal vacation/time off from real life?
I really liked my last trip to Costa Rica. Mostly staying in one place not running around crazy from place to place. It might have to happen again this winter.

From 3x Thursday

Six Feet Under

Posted on October 14, 2004 | Leave a comment

I love this show, for some reason I only watch it when I’ve got time on my laptop. It’s a show about a bunch of dysfunctional relationships. Dad died and the family is trying to run the family funeral home. The secretive gay brother who dates a cop. The “lost” sister who’s either confused or lost. The mom who feels too much guilt (I can’t give away why). The cool brother who dates the genius girlfriend with a possibly even more dysfunctional family.

It’s hysterical. I think it’s still on HBO. Problem with viewing while traveling is that sometimes the funeral home gets a little graphic (minus) and there is nudity (sometimes not a minus). Check it out. The first few seasons are out on DVD.

Smallville – 2004 season

Posted on October 13, 2004 | Leave a comment

So in someways I like the new season, but in others… It’s back to feeling like the first season, too many kryptonite monsters (i.e. Buffy the Kryptonite infected monster slayer). I was just starting to like Lois and now she seems to be off the show, I thought I saw her in some WB cast promos so I thought she’d be around a little longer.

The show definitely has more sex appeal. And uptight Clark just seems to be getting hit on/made out with/getting caught with too many women. While everyone else is lying to someone else about something. And it bugs me when Lana lies to Clark, they’ve got them set up as the destined lovers… (Even though we know he marries a different LL)

So to wrap it all up it’s kinda Buffy meets Smallville 90210. If you can handle it and keep track of the characters go for it!

But you have to love the slo-mo “bullet-time” effects when Clark rushes into action.

Speaking of Charlie Sheen

Posted on October 12, 2004 | 1 comment

So speaking of Two and a Half Men and my search engine traffic (see a few days ago). I get a lot of people finding me via searches like “two and a half men AND charlie sheen short sleeve shirts”, I score in the top 10 on Google and Yahoo! with that one. It’s odd enough that I mentioned it and that people search for it but there was just a short little thing in Cargo magazine about him and his shirts.

The Free song of the day is Teenage Dope Fiend from Flickerstick. Not sure why Apple can’t dynamically update my sidebar link in a timely manner on Tuesdays. Go to Teenage Dope Fiend for your free song.

Half and Two Men

Posted on October 11, 2004 | Leave a comment

Jake.2.5So I just got off the phone, said I was going to LOL while I watched Two and a Half Men and then off to bed. And sure enough, that show totally cracks me up. Jake (Angus T. Jones) had a big part, which I’ve been complaining about lately how scarce he is. He’s the straight man for his divorced Dad and playboy Uncle’s antics. (Mondays at 9:30 on CBS).

Fan listings

Posted on October 11, 2004 | Leave a comment
1. Who or what is on your computer’s wallpaper?
Nothing (boring). It’s usually just distracting for me. I’ll set it after/during a vacation. The last was London.
2. Go through your DVD/pre-bought video collection. Which three actors or actresses feature the most in them?
Without looking, I’d say Drew Barrymore (Boys on the Side/Ever After). Now that I look I’d have to add Keanu Reeves (3 Matrix) and Liv Tyler (Armageddon/Stealing Beauty). My collection is pretty diverse. Unless it’s music I usually don’t buy DVDs, unless it’s a really good deal.
3. Go through your book shelves. Which three authors have written the majority of the books?
Diane Duane and Neil Gaiman and Mauve Binchey
4. And what about CDs?
Tori, Indigo Girls and Sarah McLachlan (they probably are who I have the most DVDs of too).
5. Open up the picture folder(s) on your hard drive. Of which actor/actress/movie/tv series/musician do you have the most pictures?
Hmm… Don’t really have a “picture” folder like that. Got a lot of stuff on the desktop I was using for posts: Veronica Mars (Kristen Bell), David Pogue (geek), Joan of Arcadia, Wimbledon…
