Last night I did, in fact, watch the premiere of the new Bionic Woman series. I was on the fence. On the one hand, it stars Michelle Ryan, and she was nothing short of amazing and gorgeous and amazing in Jekyll. On the other hand, I can’t say I was a fan of the originalContinue reading “On the Bionic Woman”
On a Recent Search Phrase Round-Up
I must be some sort of pop-culture maven. Thanks to the Google-Fu of readers everywhere, people want my insights into why Boston Legal‘s cast is different this year, or they want to know who’s on Captain Jack’s Torchwood 3 team. Answer to the first — the David E. Kelley cast revolving door. Get used toContinue reading “On a Recent Search Phrase Round-Up”
On the Return of Boston Legal
Last night Boston Legal entered its fourth season. And…? It’s more of the same. The cast is mostly different. There’s still Alan and Denny. There’s Shirley. And Jerry and Clarence. But Paul? Gone. Brad? Working for the Commonwealth Attorney’s Office. Denise? Maternity leave. Claire? Gone. In their places, we have Carl Sack, played by JohnContinue reading “On the Return of Boston Legal”
On Halo Day
I think, somewhere in the recesses of my mind, I knew that Halo 3 dropped today. Or, more accurately, eighteen hours ago (as I can’t imagine that GameStop didn’t do midnight openings — if that whole sodding company could do midnight openings for The Burning Crusade, they’re absolutely doing midnight openings for Halo 3). AtContinue reading “On Halo Day”
On the Newest Upgrade
WordPress 2.3 dropped yesterday. I downloaded the latest version, spent half an hour uploading the new files to my server, and crossed my fingers. WordPress upgrades have been a mixed bag in the past. The 2.1 upgrade was a miserable experience. This upgrade wasn’t. I uploaded the files. I ran the update script. I didn’tContinue reading “On the Newest Upgrade”
On Organizing Templates
Sometimes I’m stupid. Sometimes I make myself feel stupid. Today was one of those days. Over the years I’ve collected a fair number of custom templates for Microsoft Word. I have a screenplay template, for instance. I’ve created a few specialized letter templates. I have some templates I’d put together for EB Games. And I’veContinue reading “On Organizing Templates”

On Cautious Optimism
I scoffed, at the beginning of the baseball season, at Lou Pinella’s insistence that for the Cubs, this year, it was “the season of hope.” Because, frankly, the Cubs were atrocious in the month of April. And May. But now, with six games left, the Cubs have a three game lead in the National LeagueContinue reading “On Cautious Optimism”
On The Weird Things From My Keyboard
Sometimes I shock even myself. Yes, I did, in fact, in all seriousness, suggest a “Star Trek Meets The Vampire Lestat” crossover. But what would the reaction be? Well, I think I have it pegged right when I wrote: Though if there’s a homoerotic undertone to the meeting of Lestat and Picard, I think fandomContinue reading “On The Weird Things From My Keyboard”
On Happy News
On Friday I was bummed. Across the Universe opened wide on Friday. But the closest theater with the film? The DC suburbs. Now, there’s nothing wrong with driving thirty miles for a movie. I’ve done it before. But it’s hardly a pleasant drive into the DC suburbs. All that traffic! Had yesterday remained dreary andContinue reading “On Happy News”
