Friday stuff

[yendi]

shadesong is still sick, but I've got to be in the office today. Feh.

On the plus side, one of the meetings today involves free pizza from Savage!

sweinberg has a pretty damned definitive look at the state of horror remakes over here.

The ever-progressive state of Kansas is now attempting to get clinics to divulge abortion records. The rationale, of course? "to protect Kansas children." Yup. Pull the other one. It's got bells on.

I'm all in favor of free speech, in general, but I really think we need to make the phrase "doing it for the children" (and variants thereof) a capital crime. It would improve the gene pool so much.

I'm moving cubes at work. Long story there. But I opened the file cabinet of the cube I'm moving into, and there files there that belonged to J, who left here three years ago. Yeah, that cabinet's seen a lot of use.

Anyone watching today's Jeopardy Ultimate Tournament of Champions will see my old academic team and debate teammate, Al Lin, who was a five-day champ in the early '90s. Also, yesterday was the second occurance during the UTOC of one player ensuring a win for another on the final question (exactly the same scenario as described here). In both cases, the strategic mistakes were made by former college champs, something I'm assuming is a coincidence, but makes me wonder if they just don't think about strategy as much.

Finally, we watched disk one of Wonderfalls last night. *sigh* Jaye Tyler ranks very high up there in the ranks of fictional characters with whom I've fallen in love.
