Filming on Universal is a real trip. My dressing room is really close to the Jurassic Park ride, so every four minutes or so, this song comes on to signify the end of the ride. The Jurassic Park theme song. I thought it was really cool for, like, the first eight times, and now I’m humming it in my sleep. The trams go right by my dressing room too, which is surreal. I leave my door open when I’m inside to get fresh air going through, and I’ll look up and have tourists peering in at me like I’m some…

I’ve uninstalled MT-Bayesian, a plug-in for Moveable Type that was supposed to be a sort of spam filter for comments. It wasn’t working right and the creator does not recommend its use anymore now. I still have MT-Blacklist, which I’ll keep running until it’s worth upgrading to MT3.0 for the more robust comment and trackback management. However, now comments are flakey – specifically the comment-preview script doesn’t seem to be working. At first I thought I’d lost a comment I added, then when I refreshed, it was there after all. I’ll try to get that fixed this weekend.

Chicago Tribune | Monty Python show to try out in Chicago… because Tim Curry will be in it. We gotta, we gotta we gotta! Call Steve. Because: He leaked one detail regarding the stage version, relating to the knights’ encounter with the sniveling Frenchman played on the screen by John Cleese: “Remember the cow that gets flung over the wall? The cow has a song. That’s all I’m saying.” Moo-moo-moo! Moo moo moo, moo-moo moo moo, moo moo moo moo-moo moo moo… moo-moo-moo!

You’re clicking your heels, however, if you own two TiVos because subscribing to two units now costs $20 a month ($13 for the first TiVo you activated; $7 for the second) instead of the $26 (or $13 for each box) TiVo used to charge. Hee! What did you think I meant, silly?

A Utah moment: Moviegoers at the Jordan Landing Cinemark movies in West Jordan received a unique greeting Monday from the ticket taker if they purchased tickets to “Fahrenheit 9/11.” To each patron, he called out: “Vote for Bush.” When queried, he said he was following instructions from management. Terrell Falk, marketing vice president for Cinemark, based in Plano, Texas, was surprised by the news and said lobbying customers for Bush was not a company policy. She was still trying to get through to the West Jordan complex as of late Tuesday to find out what they were thinking. What they…

Yesterday, it was the Little Free, Web-Based News Aggregator that could. Today, totally new look with clickable tabs, blogs, feeds, and all kinds of clicky goodness. Some of the new features are interesting (tabs and sharing feeds) and some are not (kind of a harsh blue on the eye when looking at the aggregator, it needs to be paler and less painful). Some of their choices for font size and so on are a bit questionable, too.

Okay… heartrate almost back to normal here. I’m still stunned by Dennis and Erika’s quick exit. Adios! I was so relieved that Jim made it with a bum stitched up knee and … that girl with him. I don’t mind her so much, because when she wasn’t shouting about cluetrees she was sort of sympathetically clucking “awwww, Dad, your knee…” You can hear her doing this, but she’s not shown actually looking concerned. Editors rule. I also thought it was very satisfying (ahhh!) that all the sucky mean people got on the later-arriving flight (with the exception of Chip and…

Our man on the inside, Dusty Bottoms, reports that his dispatches from the set of Firefly: Serenity have made him powerful enemies: “Note to self. Find out who this Dusty Bottoms is and destroy him, have him eaten and then kill him!” — Joss Whedon Hee! Oh, today is a wonderful frabjous day. I wonder what kind of wine goes best with Dusty Bottoms? Hint: probably the one in the biggest bottle.
