Gray

Usually we get so tired of gray, gloomy days during the colder months. As the remnants of Fay blew overhead yesterday, though, it felt rather refreshing, and somehow beautiful to have a day full of dark overcast weather in the summer.


DNC: Since Hillary Clinton gave her speech Tuesday night, talk radio kept playing clips from it all day yesterday. I realized I'd rather listen to Fran Drescher. Why does she feel compelled to yell everything she says into the microphone? No wonder Obama wouldn't pick her for his VP. He doesn't want to be yelled at all the time.

That’ll all folks...

It seems the end is here for my computer monitor. It just went black on me and the power light started blinking. I checked all the connections, but even with the computer off, it's freaking out on me. I'm about 107% positive the Dell warranty is long past.

Maybe this is my chance to buy a bigger, higher-res monitor...

Breaking News! Nothing has changed!

I was in my car today (driving, not just sitting) listening to syndicated talk radio when the local station broke in with a news alert to report that the Federal Reserve had not changed the interest rate. Let me repeat that. They broke in just to report that NOTHING HAPPENED. That's not news. Certainly not "breaking" news. It's literally anti-news.

LOST spoilers from Comic-Con

From i09.com:

• The island did not travel when the hatch imploded, but something did happen.
• We'll see more of Locke and Jin on the show. "Dead is a relative term," and there's still a lot of story to be told about those characters.
• We will see Rousseau's story this year, but it won't exactly be a flashback. We're done with flashbacks and flashforwards, but there will be some time-jumping excitement anyway. There will be storytelling on and off the island, and in different periods of time.
• Vincent the Dog is fine and will be in season five — and will survive until the end of the show.
• The Jack/Kate/Sawyer triangle is central to the show, and we'll see more interesting permutations of it over the next two seasons. And Kate will see Sawyer again.
• The nameless extras in the Zodiac boat with Farraday, stranded with the island gone, may be toast, but "things are looking up" for Farraday himself.
• Speaking of Daniel, he has a little notebook that tells him stuff that's happened, and stuff that will happen soon, and it's going to figure prominently in season five.
• Richard Alpert is "quite old," thanks to the island's mystical properties, and we'll see more of his history this year. We'll also see him barefoot in "the near future, pun intended," so we'll find out how many toes he has.

I just bought my ticket to see them at OSU. If anyone wants to go along (general admission), let me know. Just don't use Ticketmaster because they charge $8.85 in extra fees. I paid by phone and only paid $1.50 extra.

What?!
