Welcome to Dillydale



I love my TiVo. It's been recording The Mr. Men Show on Cartoon Network. It's such a retro cartoon complete with all my favorite characters from the books I read as a kid.

Cleveland's Next Top Model

And now for the lighter side of things:

Climate Change

This video impacts me more in 3 minutes than An Inconvenient Truth impacted me in 2 + hours.

Scientists have created a computerized model of CO2 emissions in the continental US. I find this very disheartening because it is overwhelming to think how much of a carbon footprint I have as an individual and the nation has as a whole. However, I do find it enlightening to finally have an idea of what our emissions actually look like. The one bad thing is that we cannot compare this to Europe or China, but they have pretty compelling data as part of the representation. Check it out.

NPR Interviews Eric Cartman

Seriously, this is getting out of hand. NPR is in my head.

NPR declares that "Stuff White People Like" is Dead

This makes me a bit sad, but this story about parody sites is really good. Take a listen to the creators of "White Stuff People Like" (mayonnaise, snow, cocaine) "Stuff Nobody Likes." (cancer, walking into spider webs)

I Heart Grammar

I totally love the English language.

I just finished proofing a paper for a friend. You can learn so much by proofreading. I know way too much about the Church Arson Prevention Act.

Suffice it to say, reading and writing are so much more enjoyable than another rerun of a shlocky sitcom like Two and a Half Men. Blech.

Making Fred Phelps Pay

Via Towleroad.

A judge has placed a lien on the Westboro baptist church because they haven't paid up in a civil suit.

I've Been Bananaramarolled!

To Be Continued

This sucks.

We will all keep watching. Why can't they just have an ending to an episode without it being open-ended? GRRRR.

I'm going home to watch the episode again on TiVo.

Starbuck's Viper

I started a post earlier about Starbuck's viper. It's too new. I knew that would be a quick spoiler.

Whew

Thank goodness the space battle is over. I can breathe now.

Oh crap, the cult of Baltar? I may puke.

Sam Anders

The awesome raider trick with they eye was really cool. I just knew there was a way to have the new 4 stop the battle.

Not the spinny ship

This space battle is waaaay brutal.

UPDATE: Yay, the spinny ship is damagaed, but still flying. Yay.

Starbuck's Viper

What the frak tigh?

Oh I HATE dream sequences.

PREVIOUSLY ON

We just watched crossroads. Cut to the chase already.

Live Blog Beginning.

TWELVE CYLON MODELS
SEVEN ARE KNOWN
FOUR LIVE IN SECRET

"one will be revealed."

WHEN!!!!???!!

BSG Priemere, Liveish blogging

I'm watching sans Tivo, with my friends Andy and Chad at Andy's house, via Comcast HD. They just showed the end of crossroads, part 2 with the really really annoying version of bob dylan's all along the watchtower.

Now it's commercials. I can barely contain my enthusiasm.

Why hasn't the administration been impeached yet?

Via Fort Wayne Politics:

Bush's office has concluded that the army can get away with ignoring the fourth amendment when "combating terrorism."

This really makes me sick. I hope that we can rebuild our national values when Bush leaves office.
