Ponderings For 2007-05-28
posted in Ponderings |- RIP: Charles Nelson Reilly. Most of the articles aren’t mentioning my favorite of his performances, his guest appearance on The X-Files (and its spin-off Millennium) as goofball author Jose Chung. His X-Files episode, Jose Chung’s From Outer Space is probably my favorite of the series.
- So, did everyone have a merry Memorial Day?
- Work continues on this site, with a number more changes coming over this week. The visual look of things will continue to change and tweak, to be sure. I’ve started to add some things that are kinda stop-gap solutions to things I was going to be doing on the new version of the site that I abandoned for now. Things like my theatrical movie log, which uses an embedded Google Apps spreadsheet to neato effect. I’ve also started to get some movie reviews posted. I’m gonna try to start working my way back through previous films of the year, getting those reviews posted. That’ll take time, though. I’ll likely date them back to when I saw them. You can always see just the movie review posts via that category. I’ll try to note the ones I’ve added in my daily pondering postings.
- Hey, somebody else agrees with me about Pirates 3, and I agree with most of his statements (but not all).
- One of my favorite comedians, Brian Regan, has a great little story (for lack of a better word) up on his official site. Had me chucklin’.
- Wow, check out this high-res scan of a photo of San Francisco after the great quake of 1906.
- Oh, wise and powerful Deep Thought…
- A hilarious comic. Sometimes it’s the simplest ones that are funniest.
- MySpace v. Facebook: “It’s Not A Decision. It’s an IQ Test.” Ain’t that the truth? I’ve got an account on both, but never use the MySpace one, cause MySpace, and the whole mentality of the way that site does things, drives me nuts. Facebook isn’t perfect, but it’s a far cry less annoying to deal with. Then again, as more of the MySpace unwashed masses migrate on over, it’ll get more annoying through no fault of Facebook as a system. Still, their new API and philosophy is an excellent move.
- For those wondering, I will be posting a farewell write-up for Veronica Mars at some point this week. I’ve got it partially written.
- Added full reviews for Waitress (9), Bug (6) and Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World’s End (10). From now on, I’ll just note the additions of ones older than these in the Pondering posts.
Not sure if I’ll continue adding random facts, dialog and video links on these pondering posts as yet. I might be putting different mechanisms into play for that soon. So for now, I’ll continue to leave them off.
