So, Katy's in Canada for a few days visiting her Canadian relatives, leaving me to my old vices in the evening: watching poker on television and fiddling with the CSS on my blog.
Hey, notice the cool-looking underline on the links? That's how I spend my time when I'm tired and ...

Katy and I saw The Terminal tonight. A pretty good film, a little hamfisted and contrived in spots, but Tom Hanks' performance was downright Chaplinesque in his physical expressiveness — surprising, and a joy to watch. And any project that keeps Kumar Pallana working will have my support.

I finally got the GMail hookup from... Steve Shim? Wow, blast from the fucking past. Thanks, man.

At long last, Nikita Koloff goes on the record on how Ronald Reagan got over:
"I've seen a lot of old clips of President Reagan this week," adds Nikita. "And I see why he got over: When he was in front of a microphone, he made his point. He really was ...

Do you feel a sustained urgent need to fuel your own sense of cultural superiority? Well then, God bless Erik Martin for pointing us towards the remix of the videos for Usher's "Yeah" and Falco's "Der Kommissar." The German version of the latter, natch.
Watch this... and feel better than other ...
