Last night’s Oscars telecast included a humorous reunion of the leads from last summer’s hit The Devil Wears Prada. Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt were co-presenting an award when they started interacting with Meryl Streep, who sat in the audience. Clearly the first part of this is scripted, but I’m not sure if Streep’s involvement [...] I haven’t seen most of the Oscar nominated movies for this year (too much violence on their part and too little time on my part), so the only award I was truly interested in was Best Actress in a Leading Role. There were a lot of surprises, i.e., the predicted, the expected, did NOT win at [...] I finally, finally, finally got a new battery installed in my car last Friday! I’ve been worried about that battery for a long time and finally remembered to take care of it when I actually had time to take care of it! (Nothing like remembering to do something when there’s nothing you can do about [...] Our spring break was wonderful while it lasted. Yesterday the temps dropped again. Today they were worse than yesterday. And the weekend forecast is for cold, snow, and ice. Brrrr! But our taste of pseudo-spring was a wonderful break! Y’all come back REAL soon, y’ah hear!?!?! According to this Wall Street Journal article, ABC is slicing out a piece of their hit show Grey’s Anatomy to create a spinoff based on the character Addison Montgomery-Shepherd. This is a minced-meat piece of news to be sure! Addison, wonderfully played by Kate Walsh, is the most interesting character on Grey’s Anatomy…so it’s great that [...] I was browsing the March 6, 2007 edition of PC Magazine when a letter to the editors caught my eye. One of PC Magazine’s readers was a little ticked off. He writes: "This is incredible. You are giving advice to PC users about how to make the switch to Macs (Software Solutions, January 2007, page 154)…why [...] The other day when I commented to a few friends, as I did here, that it seems like the last few years we’ve had one really bad month each winter season, one person said, "Yeah, hello, global warming." What? I hadn’t said we’ve been having one warmer than normal month, but one worse than normal [...] Here are some pictures I took the day after the storm. Except near trees, the snow was so deep Reggie had to jump, instead of run, around until we dug some paths. Click any picture for a bigger view over on Zooomr. Enjoy. I took the picture below as a comparison to the storm we had [...] I’ve commented to a few people today that the last few years we’ve had one really bad month each winter season. Some years the rest of winter has been very mild, other times the rest of the winter has been average or normal, but always one month is really bad. Last year December was the [...] Years ago they used to talk about people being leading edge if they always wanted the latest technology. Soon, that term wasn’t sharp enough for the way some people cut into new tech items and, thus, bleeding edge entered the lingo. I’ve always enjoyed letting other people prick their fingers and wallets on the latest and [...] Do you understand the conversation below? C. M. DucksMr. KnotO. S. A. R.C. M. TailsL. I. B.Mr. Ducks I know, this is so old you probably can read it in your sleep. If not, the answer is in the extended entry, click below. The weather here is still dangerously cold, but slowly improving. It’s actually warmer this evening than it was around noon…by a whopping three degrees…but the "feel like" temperature is zero F and that’s worse than it was at noon. After all the rain we had last year and throughout the football season, it seems fitting the Bears would play in a rain soaked Super Bowl…and lose. Da loss. Watching all that rain was just so completely depressing. And the end result? The overly cocky Bears got drenched. Maybe next year Chicago fans. Or, better, maybe [...] Old Man Winter has finally arrived in full, ugly force here in the Chicago area. (The temperatures in the graphic translate to -19 C and feels like -31 C.) I had to go out this afternoon and it was an artic experience: About 30 minutes before I had to leave I turned on the garage door [...] It’s official! Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (that’s the seventh and final book) will be released in the U.K., U.S., and other English speaking countries at 12:01 A.M. local time on July 21st, 2007! The first announcement appeared on J.K. Rowling’s site, which makes it official, not a rumor. Here are Ms. Rowling’s own words: [...] |
