If you don’t watch The Amazing Race, at least, for the love of God, read Miss Alli’s first recap of the season. And by the way – God is in the tub, so don’t bother to call on Him with your petty little problems dealing with taxis or beef.

Okay, so today we’re headed to The Morton Arboretum – it’s a hot, muggy day so we’re taking lots of water along, and also our workout stuff with the goal of hitting the health club and cooling off in the swimming pool. We’re meeting Steve and making our stealthy approach in one vehicle, so as not to alarm the trees. The original plan was to go to the Ren Faire, but David nixed that on account of aforesaid mugginess and all the people and turkeylegs abounding. And we’re on our way out the door. More later.

A picture says a thousand words – a 4-panel strip says it better than I could. Although – I do worship Bucky Katt. I love his permanently flattened ears, so slightly curled in contempt. I love his blue eyes on Sundays, so beautifully colored and thoroughly crossed. So I worship Bucky, but not in THAT way. Just in the “I love an impossibly psychotic cartoon kitty” way. Click on the image to read the full strip, and buy some merchandise while you’re there!

Filming on Universal is a real trip. My dressing room is really close to the Jurassic Park ride, so every four minutes or so, this song comes on to signify the end of the ride. The Jurassic Park theme song. I thought it was really cool for, like, the first eight times, and now I’m humming it in my sleep. The trams go right by my dressing room too, which is surreal. I leave my door open when I’m inside to get fresh air going through, and I’ll look up and have tourists peering in at me like I’m some…

I’ve uninstalled MT-Bayesian, a plug-in for Moveable Type that was supposed to be a sort of spam filter for comments. It wasn’t working right and the creator does not recommend its use anymore now. I still have MT-Blacklist, which I’ll keep running until it’s worth upgrading to MT3.0 for the more robust comment and trackback management. However, now comments are flakey – specifically the comment-preview script doesn’t seem to be working. At first I thought I’d lost a comment I added, then when I refreshed, it was there after all. I’ll try to get that fixed this weekend.

Chicago Tribune | Monty Python show to try out in Chicago… because Tim Curry will be in it. We gotta, we gotta we gotta! Call Steve. Because: He leaked one detail regarding the stage version, relating to the knights’ encounter with the sniveling Frenchman played on the screen by John Cleese: “Remember the cow that gets flung over the wall? The cow has a song. That’s all I’m saying.” Moo-moo-moo! Moo moo moo, moo-moo moo moo, moo moo moo moo-moo moo moo… moo-moo-moo!

You’re clicking your heels, however, if you own two TiVos because subscribing to two units now costs $20 a month ($13 for the first TiVo you activated; $7 for the second) instead of the $26 (or $13 for each box) TiVo used to charge. Hee! What did you think I meant, silly?

A Utah moment: Moviegoers at the Jordan Landing Cinemark movies in West Jordan received a unique greeting Monday from the ticket taker if they purchased tickets to “Fahrenheit 9/11.” To each patron, he called out: “Vote for Bush.” When queried, he said he was following instructions from management. Terrell Falk, marketing vice president for Cinemark, based in Plano, Texas, was surprised by the news and said lobbying customers for Bush was not a company policy. She was still trying to get through to the West Jordan complex as of late Tuesday to find out what they were thinking. What they…
