TV

I just finished watching Jeremiah on Showtime. Actually, it was last weeks episode. I liked it. We’ll see if this take on the post-end-of-the-world sci-fi will take off. There is a little x-files feel to it.

Long weekend. Finally picked up the exer-cycle my parents are graciously lending me. The test will be tommorrow at 6Am when I hope to rise from blissful sleep and use it.

Anyone have an opinion on weblogger software? Between Movable Type, Blogger Pro, PostNuke, NewsPro, etc. The options are wide open. Let me know if you have an opinion.

More to come…

Ascii baby…

Enterprise in the Panda Express

I was eating dinner with the girls in the Panda Express, a Chinese fast food chain. As we were walkign out I heard the Muzak playing over the speakers.

“… the faith … of the heart …”

OMFG!

It’s the new Star Trek: Enterprise theme song! The one everyone hates. What is it doing as background music in a fast food joint?

The mind boggles.

DMB

The Dave Matthews version of the Stones song, Wild Horses is kick-ass.

It is a crime against humanity that you can’t buy this song on a CD.

When the revolution comes, the RIAA will be the first against the wall…

Another Book Down

I finished The Butcher’s Boy by Thomas Perry today. The book is out of print and I had to order it used. He wrote a book called Metzger’s Dog, also out of print that I read several years ago.

Butcher’s Boy is about a professional hitman and a government crime analyst as they are involved in a series of events that occur. You get to see things from two angles. I recommend it.

BTW, Metzger’s Dog is a fantastic book about a group of grifters that stumble across some special CIA paperwork and how they go about blackmailing the CIA. Good stuff. Not your traditional crime thriller. Much humor and ‘hard-crime’ details.

On the gaming front, I am having tons of trouble getting Dark Age of Camelot to work. Damn connection problems. To top that off my old UO guild, BLD appears to have finally completely disinegrated, tempting me to return and set things right… Must resist UO… Must level up in DaoC…
