    I’ll Take My Half Out Of The Middle

    I’m watching a movie called Men with Brooms that I had TiVo record, because a while back I was reading up on Paul Gross, and it sounded like it might be a fun movie based on my googling around. So I started watching, and it was really confusing. Finally realized TiVo had recorded the second half, then the first half. What probably happened was WGN changed the schedule and ran it twice.

Which, of course, is very lame on so many levels. And also, the image looked like CRAP because it was…

    “They keep sending them in…”

    Friday was a big TV-watching night here; Stargate and Atlantis both premiered the second halves of their seasons, and there was a new Numb3rs episode, a network show that we got into this year. David and I keep chuckling about a scene in Atlantis where Sheppard and and an attractive woman he’s imprisoned with discuss one of Sheppard’s greatest fears. Neera: And the clowns? Sheppard: Oh yeah, the clowns. We fight them too. Entire armies spilling out of Volkswagens. We do our best to fight them off, but they keep sending them in. — Quotes Season 2 Actually, I kept…
