The Twin Peaks Season 2 DVD is now finally shipping for those of you who already own Season 1. For boneheads like me who were waiting until Season 2 came out to buy both, Season 1 is totally sold out and is fetching around $100 on eBay. I asked some random dude about it and he said if you don't have Season 1 already he'd recommend waiting for the full box set in October.

no shit.
I am about half way through season two right now. I downloaded a pirated version that has Swedish subtitles along the bottom. This, however, is much much better.
thanks for the heads up.

darn it, I was going to comment both on the pink headband and make a Donny Darko reference. Early bird and the worm and all that I guess.

Haha - the bunny outfit is one thing, but did you really have to wear a matching pink headband? I still think its funny though.

My lame ass was with my husband's lame ass in Hamilton, visiting my mom. We weren't able to see her on her 60th birthday about 2 weeks ago, so we went this weekend. The Queen City Roller girls need to check with our schedule from now on. This isn't the first time it's happened!
I like the pink headband on you. Good look. Nice bunny costume, too. I have an Eeyore costume that's big and fuzzy like that... maybe we can get together and scare some children together.

social networking if hitler won the warCategory: a series of tubes
Wow!! Sabres pogs!!
YourHub, The Buffalo News' fledgling social networking site, has been around for a few months now and I was initially reserving judgment because a website is only as bad as its content, and there wasn't much content yet. Well, after four months of paying local self-published wordsmiths to fill their site by plugging their novels, today's discussion topic is: drinking too much coffee . When the inevitable follow-up came I could not help but contribute. Only after I had pushed the Send button did I remember the photo I had posted on my profile lo these many months ago .
Now I'm not going to knock YourHub because it's not like I haven't been down that road on (e:strip) myself (e:zobar,37304) . And it's academically interesting that, despite its stated corporate goal of being inclusive of all 630,000 Buffalo News readers, it's becoming an in-club just like any other social networking site - that the in-people [most or all of whom are paid to be there] have formed their own community and are talking about their caffeine intake and their favorite Italian restaurants just like the rest of us unpaid local bloggers. Except that they can't really speak freely because they can't say anything that would offend Depewites' tender sensibilities. Which means that not only are they talking about in-stuff we don't care about, it's totally watered down. It's like eating someone else's cold tapioca when you don't like tapioca and you're not hungry. Or like reading Buffalo Current without Sabrina the Creepy Sex Columnist (GOOGLE - cache:www.buffalocurrent.com).
But I guess that's all to be expected. This is what bugs me about YourHub. It is divided into neighborhoods: Amherst/Clarence, 'Central,' Grand Island/Ken-Ton, Hamburg/West Seneca, Niagara Falls, Orchard Park/East Aurora, Southern Tier, and West Niagara County. They are arbitrary but at least they're well-defined ... except for Central. I kind of figured that since Buffalo is the county seat and that's also where the Buffalo News is headquartered, Central meant the Buffalo city proper. But no! It appears that they completely forgot to include the city in their list of neighborhoods. So where is an urban hipster like myself supposed to post the pictures I took drinking PBR in the booth at Frizzy's?
And that is why we have (e:strip).

Another project that is doomed to failure. Its suburb-centric and appears to be completely lame. If people want a real local social site, they can look no further than here. After all, the chic hipster wannabes are all coming from Clarence to the strip to hang out anyway.

I will admit I didn't look at all the pictures on that site but a lot of the ones I did look at are cute and funny.
