Game over

Finally, we get to see a new Jeopardy champion. Time for you to take your cocky butt home, Ken.

Yay, Gmail has pop access

Check it out. I was just getting used to reading the threads too.

By the way, everyone is saying how their hotmail storage size increased to 250 MB. It’s weird, but my hotmail account jumped to that size months ago. I wonder why. Is it because I’ve had that account forever…like when email first started? Probably.

Movies, movies, movies…

Thanks to Johnny for all those 99 cent rental coupons. I watched I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead last night. I just heard the title, but I didn’t know anything about it before watching it. Um…it’s another one of those disturbing movies that leaves you with a yucky feeling. I don’t know why I seem to rent those.

But I definitely want to see The Phantom of the Opera (I’m curious how the film version will turn out) and Beyond the Sea, a movie about the singer Bobby Darin. I like a lot of his songs and of course it’s a plus when the great actor Kevin Spacey is in it.

Side note: I just bought a loaf of texas toast and made some french toast this morning. Mmm…no more wimpy white bread for me.

Irreverent game?

Heard you can go assassinate JFK in a game called JFK Reloaded. Someone go play it and let me know.

Movie worth many coupons

I had to use up my 99 cent rental coupons before the end of this month. Just finished The Station Agent tonight. Excellent movie. One scene where the lady runs the guy off the road made me laugh until I almost teared up. Thanks to CC for always giving me great recommendations on books and movies. I need more.

Scrabble inducted, juror summoned

Scrabble gets inducted in the National Toy Hall of Fame. Awesome. I need to find my old bag of scrabble tiles so I can play speed scrabble again.

Side note: I thought I got lucky by evading jury duty for 2 days. Not so. I have to go in tomorrow morning.

Asian American writer dies

Chinese-American writer Iris Chang, historian and author of the bestselling nonfiction book “The Rape of Nanking”, has died of apparent suicide.

By the way, that’s one of the books on my “To Read” list.

Clean phone

Congratulations to me. My phone now smells like Tide. I heard that when the phone dries, it might still work. Cross your fingers.

Happy 32nd

I was shopping at Costco this morning with my mom. She was in a hurry and wondered why there were so many people. I said “It’s a holiday, you know, Veteran’s Day. Your anniversary is the same day as Veteran’s Day, remember?”

Cultured

Methinks this might be the start of a new addiction on a whole ‘nother socioeconomic level. More to come when I have time.
