Wednesday stuff

Last four hours before vacation. Woohoo! Well, except for the traveling on the two busiest days of the year. That sucks.

Is there still someone out there who doesn't have a DVD player? Get one for $9.99 Yeah, DVD players are now stocking stuffers.

Is it wrong that I hope the nicest character on Veronica Mars turns out to have perpetrated at least one, if not both, of the heinous acts in the pilot? It's just that, as last night's rerun showed, Weevil and Logan are just too much fun to lose. Duncan? He's nicely complicated, but he doesn't get the good lines.

Dammit. I adore Charlaine Harris. So I might have to buy this collection. But I'll wear a mask when I do so. I'm not proud of sending more royalties LKH's way. I remember when mainstream horror hadn't been completely subsumed by the romance and bad porn folks.

That's all. Gotta monitor the Kidlet (seeing as she's on my boss's computer).

The power of dreams

Growing up in the grim, gang-ridden streets of Alhambra, California, Chi-Lan Lieu knew that she would someday forge a path into the world of technology reporting.

Yes, nothing but the knowledge that she'd one day report on the Great Transformers Comeback saved her from committing Grand Theft Auto. Technology Reporting: Like "Becoming a Veterinarian," only, y'know, not.

Out of curiosity, is there anyone out there who likes G4's new Tech TV? Anywhere? They surely had to think that the demand was for the crap they're showing now, instead of the good stuff that TechTV brought to the merger.
