things of interest to no one but me

Saw Van Halen this week, great fun. My ears are still ringing. They definitely got it done, just so much better with DLR. Plus there was a big brawl in front of us at the end of the show, felt like old times.

Comics scribe and intarwub overlord Warren Ellis launches the free webcomic Freak Angels today- http://www.freakangels.com.

Go read it, and tell me what you thought.

Dolphins release my favorite player on the team, Zach Thomas. He's been banged up, he's a little long in the tooth, but man, did they have to release him? He's probably signing with the Patriots as I write this.

I guess the writers strike is over. Yawn. Heroes won't be back until the fall, for some horrific reason the Terminator show is on the bubble of being renewed (it's a great show). Looking forward to the Office coming back I suppose, although it seemed a little off this past season. Other than that I really don't care, have so little time for television. As long as I manage to catch Countdown a couple times a week, I am happy.

Speaking of Countdown, Olbermann was on fire last night with a new special comment. Yow.

I think we have 6 shows in the next 48 hours. Hardest working band in SecondLife.

Going to the Renaissance Festival on Sunday for the missus' birthday. We love the ren fest and try and get there a couple times every season, they are here through February. I was disappointed last year that they didn't have the deep fried turkey legs, they had smoked turkey legs that were a very poor substitute.

I made up for the turkey leg miscue by demolishing several yards of Smithwick's ale and about a pount of kettle corn. I plan on more of the same this year.
