Mozillas and Gnus attack IE! Aiyee! If you click it, they will come. Eventually, Bill pops up in panic mode. Via the fabbleous Boing Boing, natch.

Adrian Paul to executive produce Highlander 5 The Highlander fan list, HIGHLA-L, has been batting this dead pony around in a desultory way for a couple of weeks now. Actually, discussion has been revitalized in the last month, with actual stuff to discuss, whether on-topic or not. It’s been nice to see some old friends ride up on their trusty steeds (which can be any sort of mammal, not excluding cows, ferrets, and wombats). However, the Dead Pony Regiment has been having the most fun pooh-poohing the thought of another Highlander movie sequel, because they’re sure it’ll be screwed up.…

Saturday dawned warm, hazy, and humid, but off to the Morton Arboretum we went to see a performance of Shakespeare’s As You Like It. If you’re not familiar with this play, it’s the one where girl meets boy, boy likes girl, boy runs off into exile into the woods, girl runs off into exile into the woods but dresses as a boy, boy meets “boy” and is tricked into “pretending” he’s wooing the girl so that he can be cured. Sundry rustic bumpkins and foppish courtiers intrude, and we get the famous “All the world’s a stage” speech from one…

Okay, so I’m podding already. Downloaded 4 6 7 songs from iTunes already. My husband David’s going to regret this already. I’ve already realized it’s pretty trippy to play Cirque du Soleil’s Icare, then segue into Tiny Hat Orchestra’s Sing, Sing, Sing, then Rachel Yamagata’s Worn Me Down… and so on and so on. Hmm, there’s a new album by Cam Newton on iTunes… well, David has only himself to blame. I’d better get to bed…soon. Right after synching up and listening to that Cam Newton tune. I used to go to the weekly Beer Garden ‘way, ‘way back in…

* beep’s Remote Patrol notes that former Amazing Race winner Reichen Leimkuhl and other reality “stars” will be in a new show where they all live together while filming a horror film. Oh, the horror indeed. That’ll get a big thumbs-down on the TiVo.

Okay, I actually found this via Boing Boing and it totally rocks. I’m thinking of saying it the next time I’m stuck having to recite the Pledge. And I know at least one person who owns a UFP flag, so must pass it along later. “It’s Ms., please. And sorry for my attire, but I ran a marathon yesterday and I’m too sore to change this morning.” I tried to infect her with my smile, but she wore a tight-lipped expression as frosty as her jacket. “So, anyway. What did he do?” I picked at the hem of my sweatshirt,…

Saturday night we went to see Batman Begins. It was pretty good, but I thought it dragged in some spots. David liked it better than I did. Afterwards, we went to Brass for dinner and a nice pubbrew. A great evening. By far, the best part was the TRAILERS. Specifically, the Big Damn Movie Trailer! I made an involuntary W00T! noise and clapped, before David even figured out what it was. Watched with rapt attention (because I never seem to be able to nab tickets to the Sneak Previews, another of which is June 23rd and totally sold out). At…

Hey! Everybody Googling “brian and greg smith amazing race,” “brian and greg wrecked car,” and especially “ugly hats” please visit Brian’s site: brian . thomas . smith It’s a great looking site with incredible head shots of Brian (obviously working the reality angle for his career), but oh, dear, the HTML is all tables. Gah! No CSS! And it has spacer .gifs! Urrrkkkh! Bri – I know someone in LA who might be able to help redesign that site, dude. Also the contact information doesn’t work, but that’s probably for the best. P.S. There’s a perfectly good site name for…

Amendola, a veteran character actor, added that his character, a mentor to Teal’c (Christopher Judge), will appear several times during year nine. “Last season, primarily, our enemy had been destroyed,” he said. “The war essentially ended. And now it’s a question of how do you make the peace? And how do you make the peace when you’ve be warring with each other, as factions, for thousands of years and only came together to defeat a common enemy? Now that the enemy is gone, how do you maintain the peace? How do you create a governance? It’s very timely. I’ve already…

This sounds like something that would be fun to do some Saturday: Community Sing at the Masthouse If it’s anything like McMenamin’s was in Seattle a couple of weeks ago, it would be awesome. No drinking – fine, it’s a private home. No smoking – AWESOME.
