You will simply not believe what an awesome job this screen cleaner (demo) will do. My screen is always getting spots and stuff on it, but I’m going to ask my husband David if we can get one of these pronto. via ***Dave

I’ve got the music we’re singing for Good Friday here at work with me, just looking it over and humming long more or less at the right pitch. And I’ve got chocolate tempting me, though I’m going to try not to eat it until at least noon. David’s home today and I won’t get to see him again until probably 9pm. Last night, I got home from the Maundy Thursday service at… 1020pm or so. And then Saturday night, well it goes to 11. Though we don’t really sing that much louder. Anyway, the piece we’re singing tonight is called…

We saw the ads for Sin City the other night – this article from Sci Fi Wire makes me interested in seeing it. Some movies adapted from comic books or that have a comic book sensibility are really cool or great (see The Matrix or Spiderman or Dark City). And sometimes comic-book movies just aren’t quite good enough (see or don’t see DareDevil, The Matrix sequels, and so on. (edited to add DVD links)

UPN released details of the upcoming back-to-back series-ending episodes of its canceled Star Trek: Enterprise, which will air in May. UPN released details of the upcoming back-to-back series-ending episodes of its canceled Star Trek: Enterprise, which will air in May. I have fallen out of the habit of watching Enterprise – even though I think it’s really started to pick up energy and better writing and so on, I just… got bored with the endless Xindi storyline. And also, even though I like Scott Bakula’s work a lot and admire his approach to the character of Archer, I also lost…

But the Scottish bishops said: “We are conscious that as a church we are much indebted in our life both to a significant presence of persons of homosexual orientation, and also those whose theology and stance would be critical of attitudes to sexuality other than abstinence outside marriage. “We rejoice in both.” Thank God for Scotland the brave. Their bishops consecrated the first American Episcopal bishops in the years immediately after the Revolution, when we weren’t exactly on speaking terms with Britain. Then we all got over it. Then they consecrated the first Episcopalian woman priest in 1994. We’re all…

Amazing Race stuff! Yeah! Okay, the recap for last week’s episode brought back searing memories of far too much fly-blown, seared meat, organs and glands. Gah. But it was funny, so go read it. I just can’t quote it here, or I’ll have to go find a charming Argentinian bucket. This week: another very, very short leg. One internal flight, with – AGAIN! – spoon-fed air schedules. There’s never been a season of TAR where the teams didn’t start to do their own airport “work” so late, as far as I know. What’s the dealio? Half the comedy and drama…

Inspired by satirist Adam Felber’s Living Will, my husband David posted the following: Adam has the right idea here, although he puts a distinctly humorous slant on it. I’m going to be a bit more serious about it. Let’s make it perfectly clear here … I David Michael Gibbs, being of sound mind and body (more or less), do hear-by state the following for the official record: Should I ever be incapacitated, through injury or illness, to such an extent that I am unable to communicate at any level and the quality of my life is such that I am…

AKMA wonders: If there ever was a story destined to ornament the weekend NPR news quiz, this must be it. Margaret has been sending me snippets (“ ‘Our insides were just bubbling,’ said Darlene Turner”) and updates all morning. She wonders, does Accordion Guy have a line on this one? More to the point, is humorist, WWDTM panelist and blogger Adam Felber even now working on making this story just ridiculous enough to fool a contestant into thinking it’s a ringer during the “fake news” segment? I’m just bubbling inside thinking about it.
