What a Week!

Saturday, October 27th, 2007

It’s just been crazy, ya’ll. The only thing entertaining I did was watch Journeyman (duh) and vomit. Oh, one more thing. My internal popup blocker failed to perform, and a commercial slipped under my radar. And I am glad it failed, LOL!! The Amazing Race is coming back, and it starts on the 4th. We really like this show! Now, someone please notify Guiness that Cass will be sitting in front of the tv two nights a week, in an amazing display of vegetableness. I haven’t watched this much tv in a very long time. Like, since I got internet, bwahahahahahaha

And now a word…

I spent a delightful evening watching Star Trek TNG with my fam. It was a wonderful, commercial free time. And now, they are watching some bizarre show on regular television and it is one commercial after another. So now, I have a new definition to add to the cassicon ( that’s like cass’s lexicon, only fewer syllables, see?)–television network=commercial collection agency. Ha, I slay myself.

Football = Boring

Friday, October 19th, 2007

I believe I whined back in the spring that NBC was canceling Crossing Jordon. I’m even more aggravated now that I see they have replaced it with football. This was not good succession planning on their part. I guess I can look at the bright side: there’s nothing to keep me up late on Sunday, so I can get a good night’s sleep in preparation fro watching Journeyman on Monday. Did I mention Journeyman again? Ah yes. I think I did.

Life for Death

Friday, October 19th, 2007

I read today on CNN that Rex Ditto was sentenced to life in prison for murdering Alan Shalleck. Shalleck helped write the Curious George television series, and also worked with Margaret Rey on some of the books in the series. The terms of his plea agreement mean that he will not be eligible for parole.

Of course, it remains to be seen whether he will be in a real prison or one of those country clubs with cable tv and wireless routers. Let’s hope it’s the former, since in addition to murder, he’s guilty of stealing part of the magic of childhood. Yeah, we are big Curious George fans here.

Birth Control Follow up

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

I posted yesterday about middle schools offering birth control, and today I found a story about it on CNN. I;m sitting here shaking my head ….. 5 students out of 134 said they were having sex, and so now everyone in the school needs access to birth control. I bet if 5 out of 134 admitted to reading the Bible, the Portland School Committee would not decide that everyone in the school needed access to God. I bet they’d lock those Bibles up tighter than the Marie Antoinette’s jewelry …. which I also mentioned recently.
