So MJ’s back. My dad will be excited. I was pretty surprised to see that he’s donating his entire salary to the 9-11 relief effort. Just for that, I’ll refrain from making fun of him for a while. At least until he gets schooled by the Knicks. (Make no mistake, I hate the Knicks with a passion. I just hate the deification of athletes more.)

EEEEEEK! I’ve been waiting for the Max OSX 10.1 Update for two months now, and every day I get disappointed. Yet this article says it’s coming out today! Could my dreams be coming true??

Two Afghan men were picked up trying to row across the English Channel in a children’s inflatable boat. That’s seriously desperate.

Aww, check it out! The Queen’s finally got a cellphone. I wonder what her ringtone is?

Salon.com defends their new interstitial ads, which I came across yesterday. I was really confused at first, and just kind of stared at the ad for a few seconds while I tried to figure out what had happened. I’m not a fan of them, but I’m not paying for a subscription either, so I guess I’ll just have to learn to put up with it.

Movie Robot or Programming Language? I got 10 out of 15 correct, but admittedly a large number of those were educated guesses. Snookums got 13. Yeah, we’re big nerds. (Link courtesy of John whom I cannot believe got “Johnny-5” wrong.)

This one’s for my Dad: This Old Souse, a drinking game based on the television programs This Old House and The New Yankee Workshop. Although my personal favorite, as you all should know, is Hometime (but the original series with JoJo, not the later ones with all of Dean’s other beeatches).

Folks, do not click on e-mail attachments. There’s yet another new virus on the loose. I repeat, do not click on e-mail attachments.

What do you buy the person who has everything? An ass-kicking.

Rodd and I are becoming addicted to the Harry Potter trading card game. I’m Hermione and he’s Draco. I was whipping him constantly when we were just playing with the starter pack, but we’ve since bought half a dozen expansion packs and now he’s starting to win. Oh, and in other news, we’ve become Satan worshippers.

Not. Honestly, these people drive me up the wall. They don’t give kids any credit for intelligence at all. Do children who read “Goldilocks and Three Bears” embark on a life of breaking and entering? How about “The Wizard of Oz”? There are good witches in that. My favorite book when I was twelve was called Fifth Grade Magic. And did I ever try to blight my classroom enemies with the chicken pox? I think not. What idiots.
