RTT: Tasty Babies. Wait! Come Back, It's Not What You Think!

See? Baby shaped pears. That wasn't so bad. What the hell were you thinking?



Ok, maybe they're Buddha shaped pears, but either way, kudos to the farmer that came up with the idea of sticking a plastic mold around a young pear.

Random Tuesday? Oh, I got your random.



Did you watch Flash Forward last week? Do you watch Lost? Did you notice the billboard behind the two FBI agents advertising Oceanic Airlines?


Speaking of cool new shows, thanks for cancelling Defying Gravity ABC, you suck.

How is it my six year old can read off a word like Ichthyornids* like latin is his second language and yet ask for help pronouncing something like "common?" Although, when I told him to work it out for himself, he covered the last three letters with his thumb and then read the first three like I do when I'm helping him. Made me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Speaking of reading, it's Banned Books Week, so go pick up a copy of Huck Finn or Catcher in the Rye or evil of evil's, Harry Potter and be damned. Sorry Nazi book burning haters, you're not welcome here. Go ahead, unfollow. If you do like books, check out Satan's Bookclub (no actual affiliation with the Prince of Darkness and the banner is HAWT).

For most of September we had above normal temperatures here. Yesterday I heard on the news that we're now heading into some below normal weather. This morning I heard that the mountains to the east of us are expecting 10cm of fresh snow tonight. My grass was concerned I might overlook it.


On House last night a patient started hallucinating and ran through hospital trying to flee imaginary monsters and bats. Why is it that all the doctors, nurses and orderlies just walked past him without trying to help?

iPod, Pathogens & Fish Tanks

My iPod is back to normal so all is right with the world again. Aside from the the imminent job loss and all. Anyway, it was a lot easier to reinstall the software than I remember the last time, though the last time was the first time I'd done it and was worried about losing all my shit. Aside from hitting "ok" a few times I didn't have to do anything. I'd forgotten it backs up everything in my iTunes, including everything in my note pad.



And that has nothing to do with anything aside from being pretty cool.

Stayed up til midnight watching the Andromeda Strain remake on A & E which was great. The original was good and all but this was a little more fast paced and exciting. And "Utah" reminded me of home as it was actually the interior of BC. I didn't watch the credits afterward but I'm assuming Piedmont was actually Merritt, BC.

A quick question for Hollywood. If Lost can let Daniel Dae Kim, a Korean, actually play a Korean, why not rewrite his Chinese character as a North Korean? They kept trying to blame the out break on the North Koreans anyway. Just wondering.
