May I reccomend 30rock?

Wow.
Another Arrested Development fan. We should shoot ice cream cone missiles at the ridiculous executives who didn't know any better.
mrmike - 09/17/07 12:05
HD Net and G4 show Arrested Development reruns if you need a fix
lilho - 09/17/07 12:04

Quickie.
How strangely awesome is Shatner?!


That is all.

[I was going to update my user sound, but it's not an mp3 so I can't.]

Not sure if he is or spader is better in Boston Legal, they play off each other so well. Then there is that price line ad where Nimoy takes his spot that is a classic. I admit I only know one of his songs it is "Mr Taborene Man" it is really great and he goes out of his mind in it.

Gotta love Shatner...
jim - 09/15/07 22:00
OK, if it is protected you can burn it to cd, then rip the cd to MP3 :)
jim - 09/15/07 21:47
iTunes: Advanced > Convert Selection to MP3
paul - 09/15/07 21:30
Can't you convert stuff to mp3 with itunes?
leetee - 09/15/07 20:13
In Boston Legal, he rules...

So...
I went to get my mail this afternoon, and I had a package!!!
How exciting!
It was from my friend, whose wedding I was in back in July.
She sent me a cute glittery thank you note, and a framed picture. And then another unframed one (which got all glittery from the card) since she couldn't decide.
In any case, they're pix of me that I don't hate, so I'm posting them! So there! Glitter and all. (and since I don't have a scanner, they're pix of pix, so there are stupid flash reflections.)

Oh, what a shitty day at work. I am about to kill a co-worker. I will leave it at that.

But I just remembered something I meant to post. And some other random crap.

  • Kibarashi is closing?! This weekend I noticed a big orange "SEIZED" sign in the window- apparently they didn't pay their taxes?! Yowza...

  • I was supposed to go to dinner at the Chop House tonight. But I had to miss it. BOOO!

  • As I walked in to work this AM, it hit me: summer is over. Fall is in the air. Just like that. Sad, sad day.

  • formication |ˌfĂ´rmiˈkā sh ən|
noun
a sensation like insects crawling over the skin.

This is a great word, in part because it sounds dirty. And it describes how I feel right now. On the way home from work, I suddenly noticed a spider running around my dashboard. And then, it ran out of my view. And it was really dark, so I couldn't tell where it went. Until all of the sudden in the glare of the headlights, I saw it was on the steering wheel. And then I lost it again. I am not especially scared of spiders- but I still don't like NOT knowing where it is, and now keep thinking I feel it crawling all over me. YUCK.

Oh yeah, and formication is a well-described and fairly common symptom/side effect of cocaine .
imk2 - 09/13/07 17:26
yeah, i saw that seizure thing too. i wonder if buffalo rising had something posted on there about that.
tinypliny - 09/12/07 21:31
I hate losing sight of insects. Its like this horror movie where you don't know where the murderer is hiding.

Ok, maybe not quite but hey, its close. Just replace terror with annoyance.
mrmike - 09/12/07 21:15
Been to the Chop House a few times...ain't all that.

Betty's update
So, I did, after all end up going back to Betty's on Sunday for brunch.

And this time we were seated almost immediately, at a 'normal' table. I even had the same waitress as the day before, and she was cute and attentive and the service was fast and great. I had eggs benedict, which was pretty good. (I love eggs benedict, but unfortunately I don't think most places do it very well- the hollandaise (which makes or breaks the dish) is usally too blah. This was decent, but could stand even more lemon, in my book.) The homefries were yummy. I wish the OJ was fresh-squeezed, but oh well.

So the stories I had heard had made it sound like Betty's brunch was simply OUT OF THIS WORLD. I thought it was decent, but not AMAZING.

But much better than the day before. So maybe they just had a bad day. I would still go back.

[I also tried the peach 'jet tea' from spot- Yummmm!! And while there, unintentionally recruited my favorite Spottie to my (ex) rescue. Woohoo.]
jbeatty - 09/10/07 16:35
I love hollandaise as well but find lots of restaurants, especially ones serving breakfast can't make it properly. Or god forbid they use that powder crap that looks awful and tastes even worse.
mrmike - 09/10/07 12:59
Elmwood lounge? steer clear of the dumplings - I'll say no more. Betty's is okay. I was contemplating Ambrosia before work yesterday.
ladycroft - 09/10/07 11:47
i'm still down with elmwood lounge for brunches...i can't wait for the first sat or sun i'm back in blo.
