The picks of today – Chasing Amy and The Life of Brian.
I have to go. But if I find one single dog hair when I get back, I'll rub... sand... in your dead little eyes. I also need you to buy sand. I don't know if they grade it, but... coarse.

I was delivering a package to another office in our building yesterday and the guy who I take them to was watching the Office on their projector in the meeting room. I was insanely jealous.
"the other day on sportscenter they said something along the lines of "the capitals score so much tiger woods is jealous" haha had me laughing hard while i was eating my cereal"
going for all the Kevin Smith movies in a week are we? I never saw Chasing Amy. Tell me if it’s worthy
Not as good as Mallrats but it was still pretty entertaining and funny. I’d think it’s worth a view.

You can’t go wrong with either of those movies.. The second one is a perfect choice given what concert tickets I’m buying later this morning.

Unless you’re with a girl. I have yet to find a woman that enjoys watching Monty Python.
A long time ago I watched “the meaning of life” but only made it half way through. Not realizing there was gratuitous boobs later on, I took my fiance to see it. Big mistake.
Plus that creepy scene with all the gibberish almost gave me a flashback
Actually, I know several women who enjoy most Monty Python, myself included.
I wasn’t overly fond of Life of Brian, but most of the other stuff is hysterical.

Good garb is really expensive as hell. I have some that I made last season, but I only got to wear it once, because it was hell of hot most of RenFest season, and I was coming off of being unemployed for six months, so I only went to one weekend last year.

Hey – I picked up a new bridge saddle (the little plastic/bone piece that sits in the slot on the bridge) yesterday for about $1.50 and dropped it in last night. It’s not a perfect fit in the slot (the slot is too thick and the bridge saddle is thinner), but it ended up just the right height with no modification at all. :-)

Anyone ever have problems with the unmanned toll booth lanes on Dulles Toll Road?
Went through this morning on my way to a conference. I tossed my quarters in the basket, but didn’t see the light turn green. Then the bell sounded. Waited for a bit but nothing happened. So I kept driving.
I checked the internet and seems like this is not uncommon. But it’s a crap shoot if you actually get a ticket. Even then it’s only like $25. So we’ll see.

Somebody who knows about cameras
please let me know if the Kodak z915 is a decent point-and-shoot. I’ve read good things about it, but would like a little more input before I pull the trigger. I’d be paying about a hunge for it.
My ability to post is only surpassed by my ability to pinch pennies.
It’s a little big for a pocket camera, but the specifications look decent.
I don’t bother with in-camera B&W/Sepia/etc. – in-camera B&W strips you to one of the RGB channels, so you lose data that you might want later.
It takes an SD memory card, and those are pretty cheap, so you can get spares.
10x optical zoom is good. Don’t bother with digital zoom – all it does is crop the image.
AA batteries is good – get rechargables – a BUNCH of them – because it’s rumored to be a battery hog, but at least you can GET batteries anywhere. Big advantage there.
Personally, my pocket camera is an Olympus; it’s about the size of a pack of cards, and can take being dropped from higher than I am tall.
Check very carefully on how far you can drop the Kodak. The last Kodak camera I owned, I dropped it once and that was all she wrote. It wasn’t a far drop, either.

It’s an Olympus Stylus 1030 SW. They aren’t making that particular model any more, but it’s waterproof to 10’ deep and can be dropped 5-6’ without damage.
I bought it for a trip to Niagara Falls, and took it on Maid of the Mists and on the Cave of the Winds tour. Awesome little camera. Both it and I got drenched, and it was perfectly fine.

It does.
I’d still check the drop distance. I’d hate for you to spend $100 and then lose it the first time you dropped the camera on the floor…

So here’s a nice random OT post:
I’m looking at renting a small single-family house in a somewhat more rural setting- ideally I’m thinking NE of Columbia, but I’d like to stay on the south side of 70 if at all possible. It would be only me living there and I don’t need a lot of space, just a basement or brick or stone walls so that I can play guitar/drums/etc at all hours and not worry about getting the cops called on me. Are there any websites with good search options for trying to find something like that? Craigslist is just a mess for that and I found a site called HotPads which is decent but not great. Any other ideas?
by Kerry Fraser's Hairspray on Mar 17, 2010 11:20 AM EDT reply actions
I don’t know, but if you find one, let me know, because I’m considering doing the same thing when I move out of my current flat. I haven’t started looking, because I can’t do it this year – haven’t got enough saved up to move – but I’d really like to do that myself. :-)
I do need a fair amount of space, though… six guitars, three various-sized cellos, a Celtic harp, and a ton of books and bookcases…

I’m a homer. I like our content. But I like your community. We can compromise.
TBH I have no idea how Technorati compiles those.

Is there any way to order Versus without upgrading my satellite package? (Dish)

Have you tried just calling them up and asking for it? They (my cable provider) gave me NHL Network for free for like 4 months.

I'm going to
Just haven’t gotten the chance; wondering if anyone knew. I can’t afford to upgrade my package, but I REALLY need VS for the playoffs.

Audio books
Never tried an audio book before (except for ones by Carlin which don’t count because he’s essentially just doing his standup routine), and I must say I’m enjoying it. Didn’t think I would.
I’m listening to Perdido Street Station, which I’ve read once or twice before. Kicks ass.

My ex- used to play audio books on long road trips… fastest way I can think of to put me to sleep. Some of them are really well-produced and well-read, but others, not so much…

I dislike one of the voices the reader is using for one of the characters, but outside of that it’s been great. I’m trying to get my girlfriend up to speed on this book so we can listen to the next one when we drive down to Norfolk.

Deer Meets Car
From this comment thread:
The woman in question was really, really lucky. The deer hit the corner of her windshield instead of going through the glass and into her lap. The glass crumbled but didn’t shatter and didn’t get all over her, and the corner of the car took the brunt of it. She had the deer’s blood and a bunch of mud all over her and was understandably freaked out but was unhurt – the towel in my skate bag went to cleaning her up.

When we lived in WV we had to learn to deal with the deer.. just drive slow at night and slow to a crawl when you see some on the move. Me and my dad see some bouncing around near the edge of the road, so he stopped. Couple seconds later, CLANG! one of the dumb deer charged into the broadside of the truck and knocked itself loopy. They’re not bright.

Hey, at least it only knocked itself loopy…
Friend of mine had a deer run off with her new radio antenna once…

haha, that’s funny.
The deer dented the truck, which was a little frustrating. No real damage, though.

Best deer story ever…
Guy went hunting, shot a deer with a good rack. Went over to check out his kill, put his mew deer rifle on the rack and turned around to relieve himself, after admiring his ‘work’ for a few minutes.
…deer got up and ran off.

This one was in broad daylight on Route 3 in Gambrills (north of Crofton).

I can believe it. Family has a house in Piney Orchard.. there are sufficient woods to sustain deer in them there parts.

Absolutely. I see deer regularly around my apartment.

We used to live right behind the land Goddard Space Center was on, and the deer would regularly find their way over or through the 8 foot high fence.

Ha. When I was in high school I did recycling on the Goddard base (Explorer Scout troop on the base) and we’d see ’em all the time.

Between the Space Centre, and BARC, they’re EVERYWHERE. Every once in a while you would get one wandering into Safeway or something like that.
The amount of dead deer on Rt. 100 makes it look like that scene from The Pacific with all the dead Japanese soldiers on the beach.

It would be like that everywhere in West Virginia, except they have the best roadkill removal people ever.

The most roadkill I ever saw in my life was in WV on the way to my grandfather’s funeral in Parsons. I was amazed not only by the sheer volume, but variety. Everything from deer, to foxes, to possum. Hell, I think I even saw a few rabbits and a turtle or two.

I think my favorite part of that whole trip was the huge billboard stating how proud the state was of this particular road we were on and how great it was, and the noise of the continual “thump thump” of the car hitting pothole after pothole.

Johnny Cash. Every time. NIN is just whiny.

Whiny indeed.

Cash. I think even Reznor pretty much said its Cash’s song now.

That was my argument
I pop the video in, and wow… Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps… Wow. [I felt like] I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn’t mine anymore…

Yup. Was just gonna post that quote
Reznor said that when Rubin first asked if Cash could cover his song, he was “flattered” but worried that “the idea sounded a bit gimmicky.” He became a fan of Cash’s version, however, once he saw the music video.
I pop the video in, and wow… Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps… Wow. [I felt like] I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn’t mine anymore… It really made me think about how powerful music is as a medium and art form. I wrote some words and music in my bedroom as a way of staying sane, about a bleak and desperate place I was in, totally isolated and alone. [Somehow] that winds up reinterpreted by a music legend from a radically different era/genre and still retains sincerity and meaning — different, but every bit as pure

"Hey anyway I can get my name out there 30 years from now is great," Steckel said. "They will be like, ‘Who was that guy?’ Then they’ll look at the stats and say, ‘Well, at least that guy was really good on face-offs.’"
I think you mean “qui est le gardien pour les Ours?”
Où is “where”. Qui is “who”.

The question of the day — will Pelley of NJ get suspended? He got a 5 minute major penalty for boarding today against the Pens while Letang of PIttsburgh got a coincidental minor for roughing.
If Campbell’s consistent, Pelley gets suspended for 2 games. But, of course, that won’t happen.
Rocking the Red since 1975
The hits were very similar. Guess we’ll see what happens.
