This was the Get Fuzzy from the day after we brought Riley home.

Today’s an interesting day, all right. We’re hoping to visit Steve and hang out and see how he’s doing and what not. I was laughing earlier today, remembering when he and my husband David and I went out to dinner at Max and Erma’s up north, where Steve’s very cool nephew Benjy works. We have Benjy a ration of shit, and he very politely gave us a ration of shit right back, while taking care of our every niggling little request. That was a good time, I’ll remind Steve of that. Serenity opens tonight and it sucks that Steve probably…

Oh, yes, it’s been posted to HIGHLA-L: Highlander in 30 seconds with bunnies. Of course, you knew where this category got its name, right? Right. Via **Dave

Miss Alli checks in with her recaplet of the TAR8 premiere… you know, the one that I called an “interminable crawl to the Pit Stop.” The overnight opinions on TWOP are still mixed but not terribly enthusiastic, with some exceptions. Almost everyone thinks Godly Ma Weaver getting run over by an Amish buggy was a highlight, along with the appearance of our beloved Kevin and Drew. Who’re fine, by the way – Kevin’s already checked in at TWOP and gotten his post edited because he committed the sin of adding a signature (signed posts are frowned on there). So Miss…

Hey! Amazing Race’s 8th season premieres tonight, and I’m really just very “meh” about it. I’m going to attempt to blog about each family in real time, more or less. I can’t find handy little thumbnail pictures, due to CBS’ use of Flash on the TAR8 website, but I’ll try to make do. The teams are: Gaghan (oh, I sense a nickname coming on) This family includes kids, and the daughter is a little too icky-poo cute for my admittedly unkidly taste. Schroeder – featuring a hawt daughter and a really sullen looking son. They’re from Louisiana, and had a…

Oh, my GOD!! This Canadian band, The McDades, played at the Chicago Celtic Fest earlier today. This crappy cameraphone image does not do them justice. The music they play is just… so assured and totally off the scale (not the musical one, the incredibly ****in’ cool one). As you can probably tell, I pretty much took pictures with my cameraphone all day, but this is the only one that I really regret is not a much better quality image (okay, the one of Buckingham Fountain could be a little better, too). I’ll be getting a better cameraphone in a few…

These guys (didn’t catch the group’s name) were pretty good, but not quite up to the level of play we heard in Seattle from the Irish Piper’s Club. Still, they were good and the fiddlin’ women did great on the one song we heard. This image was sent from Flickr as a blog entry, email or cameraphone image.

Okay, I’ve bloviated My Important Thoughts About Current Events enough for the week. Time I got back to basics and wrote about stuff I probably know more about – silly, mindless, entertaining drivel about my favorite things. So tonight being Friday, we’re parked in front of the TV watching Stargate, Atlantis, and then my husband David will be watching Battlestar Gallactica. Tonight for the first time, though, my geek cred goes up slightly; I’m using my “new” laptop (which is really David’s old one). Slowly I’m moving stuff over to it from my own “old” computer, like photos and other…

So here's what's going on this week around here: Busy at work, but not as crazed as last week. Thinking about sick friends and considering how best to help Keeping only half an eye on the news Fooling around with iPod more (David got me a dock!) Putting off on uploading more photos to Flickr Getting ready to travel again Real Soon (just a weekender) Realizing that there's not a lot of time left Playing catch-up in nearly every area of my life Now that the Weekend of Crazed Running Around is over, I can finally say something about what…

WXRT Radio Chicago – On-Air Personality Bios – Lin Brehmer On my way in this morning, I was listening to Lin Brehmer on WXRT and caught the tail end of his show. For some reason, Terri Hemmert was attempting to lure him back into the studio from the window ledge. All very funny, but there was an undercurrent of something that sounded like Management was screwing around with the talent. I have no idea if this was just silly morning schtick, or if Lin’s been let go, because I missed all but the last 5 minutes. The “bumper” song to…
