Let’s see. I have copernic desktop search, which injects itself into pretty much every process that’s running on my desktop.
then we have the nvidia nview desktop manager, which is pretty useful in a multi-monitor setting. It also insinuates itself into every process that runs on the desktop.
The end result … they keep hitting each other over the back of the head.
Today’s music
I’m glad I subscribed to emusic. It makes me get a bunch of albums every month, so I tend to reach out in various directions. It got me to listen to Joanna Newsom, The Rakes, Blonde Redhead, Mono, Melt Banana, Röyksopp. The list is quite long, but you get the idea. If you want to be forced into something get a subscription, otherwise you end up getting the same crap again and again
This is what awaits us?
I just loved the show. There are Instructions on how to perform the dance from the credits of the show itself.
little ms. Nelson’s ringtone is now Black Beauty
In honour of her putting the blasted tune in my head while travelling back to Dublin yesterday I’ve set her ringtone to the theme from the tv show from my childhood. In order to infect other people 🙂
History, taught the right way
It’s a history of oil over the last 100 years, as told by Robert Newman. Funny and interesting. I hearken back to my leaving cert history classes and think – damn, if only my teacher had been that interesting I might have been able to stay awake in class 🙂
I am so going to Japan
Flights booked. Credit card looking a little bit weary 🙂
I’m going to Japan on Holiday
Yes, all I have to do is actually book the flights.
Damn you Tara! Damn you to hell!
I so have to go; otherwise it’s just a stupid rant.
Noticed at the bottom of someone’s blog entry
There’s only one problem with my kung fu resurgence.
I have a very, very high credit limit.
This could get ugly.
Units… for the truly lazy amongst us
Need to convert from celcius to fahrenheit? From miles to kilometres? From yards to stadia? units will give you this.
You have: tempF(41) You want: tempC 5
What could be simpler?
But not the remake… if you can call it that
The remake of ‘The Producers’ is practically the entire original movie – word for word, with some extra musical numbers. I mean they didn’t even try with this one. You would hope that they could at least try, but Matthew Broderick’s acting in this was cardboard to the point of annoyance, not a touch on the original Gene Wilder one (simply without compare). Nathan Lane was a bit better, but didn’t have the right level of desparation that Zero Mostel brought to the original one. Let’s just leave Uma Thurman’s role out all together, and Will Ferrell deserves to be clobbered for this one. Seriously, stick to the properly low-brow comedy like ‘the ballad of ricky bobby’.
