Amazing Race: How To Reflect on Human Depravity and Learn Absolutely NOTHING A picture is worth at least a thousand words, and every picture tells a story, too.

SCI FI Channel confirmed that Farscape star Ben Browder will join the cast of SCI FI’s original series Stargate. Browder will join the cast in the show’s upcoming ninth season; no information on Browder’s role was available. Meanwhile, the show’s producer, MGM, is still working on a deal to bring back Stargate star Richard Dean Anderson (Gen. O’Neill) in some capacity. Oh, this could be good. Oh, very good. Can’t wait to see sparks fly between Carter and the new guy. I expect fanfic writers will be looking for different sparks than I am, but it’s all good, eh?

Ow. For some reason my neck really hurts today. Probably too much time spent unched over, reading webpages. Also, it starts hurting if I try to use my cell phone for a lot of texting, wich is not good because it locked up and had to be swapped out for a new one. Thank goodness for warrantees; but unthank badness for not being able to pull all my phone numbers and snippets of quick text over from old to new. I’ve been working on vacation stuff at last. Should have booked the accomodations back in February when I yapped about…

Chicago Tribune | Not so amazing Media attention focuses on TAR’s ugly, botoxed underbelly this season. A column at Entertainment Weekly has reader comments visible if you are a member of EW or AOL. There’s a lot of backlash there for Kendra’s uncool comments, also. In happier news from the same column: Ben Browder is joining the cast of SG-1! This is cause for a mighty “woo-hoo!”

I missed doing a snarklist last week, so here’s this week’s remarks, hot off the airwaves. As before, the team member in bold did the Roadblock. However, I’ll be saving most of my snark for one team (as you might suspect). Kris/Jon Jonathan/Victoria Lori/Bolo Hayden/Aaron Freddy/Kendra Adam/Rebecca Gus/Hera Don/Mary Jean Right. There’s the list, and here’s my two cents’ worth…

“I uncovered information that now leads me to question the immigration status of a person who had been in my employ as a housekeeper and nanny,” Mr Kerik said in a statement. “It has also been brought to my attention that for a period of time, during such employment, required tax payments and related filings had not been made.” Masterful use of the passive voice and other linguistic tricks to distance yourself from the issue there, Mr. Kerik. By the way, has anyone ever counted how many nominees of either party have scuppered themselves by employing illegal immigrants and paying…

It was cold the other night, we built a fire. Note to self: the damper is open if the handle is pointing TOWARD the window.

Originally found at Learning Moveable Type, revisited via ***DDtB: Portrait Illustration Maker – Let’s make an original icon!! I actually find this “self-image” slightly disturbing, so I added the headset and optional cat to make it less so. It must be the “uncanny valley” thing people were talking about when comparing photo-realist “The Polar Express” to shiny-fantastic “The Incredibles.” As previously mentioned around here somewhere, it’s possible to set a gravatar that shows up when you comment on blogs that have enabled this feature. Choosing the “face” shown on the Internets is tricky – should one go with reality, or…

WASHINGTON — Liberal powerhouse MoveOn has a message for the “professional election losers” who run the Democratic Party: “We bought it, we own it, we’re going to take it back.” A scathing e-mail from the head of MoveOn’s political action committee to the group’s supporters yesterday targets outgoing Democratic National Committee chairman Terry McAuliffe as a tool of corporate donors who alienated both traditional and progressive Democrats. “For years, the party has been led by elite Washington insiders who are closer to corporate lobbyists than they are to the Democratic base,” said the e-mail from MoveOn PAC’s Eli Pariser. “But…

my husband David says he didn’t know about this: Production Weekly reported that a feature film set in J. Michael Straczynski’s Babylon 5 universe will begin production in April in the United Kingdom. Straczynski wrote the film, The Memory of Shadows, which will be directed by Steven Beck (Ghost Ship), the publication reported. But I remember hearing about this because I posted about it back in February, when the project was mysteriously known as “B5:TMoS” and a list of likely and unlikely titles was bandied about. My favorite is still “The Memory of Spoo,” so I’m quite disappointed. And now…
