It’s Late! What Am I Doing Up?
It’s almost midnight and I am still wandering around the Internet and reading email. Why? I was tired today and I am going to be more tired tomorrow.
It feels a bit like “Lost in Translation”.

I watched the second half of the second episode while eating dinner with Patty. I still worry that this could go horribly wrong, but I am starting to get sucked in.
I keep thinking the Island of Dr. Moreau, but it also has The Most Dangerous Game feel.
I finished ripping my audio cds today. Just over 80 GBs of mp3s. I finished up the classical, the soundtracks and the various artist compilations. I had both iTunes and Windows Media Player open, using the one with the better meta data.
I still have my audio books to do, but I consider […]
Patty and friends watched the Swimming Pool while I was back in Vermont, so while Patty was out today I decided to watch it.
It is definitely a “literary” movie, and it is also very french, in that there is a lot of unabashed nakedness. This is most especially true of the character Julie, who […]
No election season is complete without watching the Black Adder III episode called “Dish and Dishonesty”, which involves Black Adder getting Baldrick elected to the House of Commons in a “rotten borough”, winning out against the snot nosed Prime Minister, Pit the Younger.
It also includes the memorable quote:
“I have a plan so cunning […]

The Bees - Free the Bees
These guys hail from the Isle of Wight, and they play some fine rock and roll. I love the poppy goodness of the album.
The Zutons - Who Killed the Zutons?
They kind of sound like a demented […]
Looks like Tom Waits has a new album out. I stopped listening after Bone Machine.
There is a web site that goes with it (contains Flash content).
I also found this interesting blog about Tom Waits called The Eyeball Kid. It is all black, white and grey, which I like.
Despite it being a collection of the special edition versions of the movies, I bought the new Star Wars DVD box set. Now I know why I have 3 or 4 VHS versions of Star Wars movies. I should have just watched my laserdisc versions.
“The Return of Darth Vader” segment is […]
Patty wanted to watch the premier of the new ABC series Lost, so I periodically engaged with the story while ripping some new cds, reading email and surfing the web.
I expected Dominic Monaghan to get killed in the first episode, but he was still alive as it ended in a very unsatisfying cliff hanger. […]
Super Furries have launched a new web site - http://www.songbooksfa.com/ - to coincide with their new singles collection, Songbook - Singles - Volume One.
Got some interesting stuff, include a very funny bio information, like the following -
“Their record deals have stipulated that the British Armed Forces are not entitled to their ‘usual’ discount for SFA […]
