Here’a a fun thing to do on a Saturday morning: attend a live radio show, and see what they’re laughing at when nobody has actually said anything. “Whad’ya Know” is ostensibly a quiz show, but it’s actually more of an improv interview show. Michael Feldman never knows what will happen when he asks questions of members of the audience and of people calling in, but usually it’s funny or entertaining. And even if it’s not, Michael’s reaction always is. He usually has a “main” guest who’s done something interesting – written a book, usually – and then he’ll do a…

One way to remind me to buy cat food is to send a Pix message to my cameraphone. Very clever. Unfortunately, I left my phone at home, so when David sent the message, my phone started buzzing from its place on the countertop, where it had been quietly charging. Yes, yes, I’ll remember to take it with me tomorrow. Via: Flickr Title: Message from riley By: GinnyRED57 Originally uploaded: 12 Jan ’06, 1.12am PST I need more food.

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. It’s much funnier when you watch it front to back, rather than back to front. Also, there was a Highlander alum in it, Peter Outerbridge. Yes, I’m weird…

I’m not sure whether to categorize this as “Food” or “Funnies.” But it’s a Quicktime movie on the proper etiquette of eating sushi, which is rather different than David, Steve, or I had been led to believe. Enjoy. japanese_tradition_sushi.mov (video/quicktime Object) via Pale Blue Dot

Bandwidth thievery is pretty rampant. I only noticed recently that up to 69% of my bandwidth is being taken by leeches who’ve hotlinked to images here (moblog pictures, stuff I found elsewhere and uploaded to my server, and so on) and used them on their little free blogs. Well, the remedy for this is some .htaccess magic. David’s taking care of that. What really ticked me off was one girl took this image and turned it into her page’s background. Which, of course, is very lame on so many levels. And also, the image looked like CRAP because it was…

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…

We were on our way south and west to Starved Rock State Park. I put up some photos on my Flickr page, and a few more are coming. Via: Flickr Title: Day out By: GinnyRED57 Originally uploaded: 7 Jan ’06, 6.38pm PST

You know, Pat Robertson must have lost his marbles long ago, but for some reason, he still wields political influence. Won’t it be interesting when his million viewers finally realize they’ve been listening to the ravings of a crazy old man? Even the White House is backing away from him now: BBC NEWS | Americas | US attacks TV host on Sharon slur I love this last bit from the Beeb: Not for the first time in recent months, elements on the Republican Party’s religious wing are causing it embarrassment.
