I’m excited! Is it Christmas? Is Santa coming to town? No. Season 4 of Battlestar Galactica premiers on the Sci-Fi Channel tonight. I’m stoked. I could watch the entire thing from the official website today but then TT would have to kill me. So I’ll wait until tonight… oh, but… Would a peek really hurt? [...]

On this week’s CSI:NY, the crew was driven deep into the mysterious Metaverse of Second Life in order to catch a criminal. They didn’t bag the bad guy, but they did spend nearly all of the 45 minutes inside Second Life. The other 15 minutes of that hour were filled with promotions for “CSI in [...]

Timothy Sandefur has some wonderful (if not also depressing) observations about Battlestar Galactica (the new one) over at Positive Liberty. Actually the really good stuff is in this older post of his that I somehow missed. What is wrong with me? Warning: There are spoilers behind these links for those of you who have not [...]

I didn’t see the Dateline program because I haven’t watched network “news” magazine programs since the mid-eighties. Apparently this isn’t a joke. Dateline reports that — are you sitting down? — people steal iPods. News! Apparently not understanding that Apple isn’t the police, Hansen actually calls Apple’s corporate security line to report stolen iPods, because…well, [...]

[photo: cerealfan] I don’t have much to add here other than to point and say, “wow.” Glenn Beck says to US Weekly editor Dana Dina Sansing, “Dina, I’ve got some time and a camera. Why don’t you stop by?” What is it with shoutshow hosts and creepy behavior? At least he didn’t make any mention [...]

[photo: jonfeinstein] I wasn’t going to blog on this terrible turn of events but TT and I started riffing on it this morning over coffee. As you may have heard (and, honestly, where could you have been to prevent the hearing?), Britney Spears, after spending one day in rehab decided to shave her head. According [...]

[photo: Tom (hmm a rosa tint)] Most people want to be buried in the ground inside a casket after they die. I like this guy’s style. If you really love something, try to die whilst doing it. NEW YORK (Reuters) — Police called to a Long Island man’s house discovered the mummified remains of the [...]

…after this commercial break. Nation unavailable for comment. Anna Nicole Smith, the pneumatic blonde whose life played out as an extraordinary tabloid tale — jeans model, Playboy centerfold, widow of an octogenarian billionaire, reality-show subject, tragic mother — died Thursday after collapsing at a hotel. She was 39. [MSNBC] She’s not dead as long as [...]

My MySpace pals know of a certain weakness I have for a certain beautiful and talented actress who shall remain nameless… mostly because the restraining order specifically prohibits me from doing so. TT doesn’t mind my fantasy because there’s no chance in hades I’ll ever actually meet this actress and also because I put up [...]

As I mentioned in another blog we’re “hotel camping” for a while. The lobby of our hotel has a large seating area and a television so folks can catch up on the latest happenings in the morning and watch a game in the evening. Each morning we’ve been here the set has been tuned to [...]
