scottobearFirst Episode of Legion of Super Heroes wasn't too bad. Not sure how I feel about the "greatest american hero - needs training" superman. I think it's probably ok as a kid hero thing.
Nice cameo of skeets, Booster gold and a lot of Green Lantern Races at the museum, they did a pretty sharp update.
Contrast that with "Heroes"... my jury's still out on that one. It has potential, but needs a little more oomph, I think.
The C in CW stands for CBS and the W stands for WB - Columbia Warner? (CBS&WB) - something weird about an abbreviation of 2 abbreviations.
So, is the actor playing Luke leaving Gilmore Girls, or are they just getting really uppity with the writing?
How to crack a walnut with one hand:
- First, place two hard-shelled walnuts in the palm of your hand.
- Carefully line up the seams, and wrap your fingers around them.
- With your hand slightly cupped, get a good grip - One walnut should rested against the base of the thumb, while the other one presses against the curved second and third fingers.
- Squeeze *HARD* until the weaker one of the two walnuts gives in to the pressure.
Good during the winter holidays, when there are walnuts all over the place.
I'm a little envious of folks that are in a place (MD) where they can see their breath... I'll get to do that this weekend- airports have reduced restrictions on liquids again, which means that I can bring a drink aboard. Non-stop flights this time, so no layovers! Most Excellent!
I'm looking forward to late October walkabouts and after. Basic thoughts include the Keys, Vizcaya, and maybe assorted South Florida locales.
Citgo is owned by Venezuela, eh?
Angry with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez for calling President Bush “the devil,” state Rep. Adam Hasner, R-Delray Beach, is calling on the Florida Secretary of Transportation to pull the plug on gasoline stations along the Florida Turnpike run by Venezuelan-owned Citgo.
“I am requesting that you take the necessary actions to immediately terminate our state contracts with Citgo,” Hasner said in a letter to FDOT head Denver Stutler Jr.
Hasner sent a copy to Gov. Jeb Bush, who he said has taken the request seriously.
To the secretary, Hasner wrote: “You are aware, Citgo is wholly owned by Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A., the national oil company of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. We must send a clear message to Chavez, and the current government of Venezuela, that the state of Florida and are citizens will not support institutions that seek the destabilization of America and our institutions and freedoms.”
The South County rep said the incident is not just an insult to the president of the United States, but is also “a wake-up call for the need to find alternative energy sources.”
Hasner has led the effort for non-petroleum fuels. He drives a hybrid car – and has worked in the state legislature for alternative fuel laws.
In a speech this past week at the United Nations, Venezuela President Hugo Chavez at the United Nations characterized President Bush as “the devil.”
Hasner said the comment has enraged all Americans, regardless of party. The local representative also pointed out how Chavez is currying favor with the likes of U.S.-haters such as Fidel Castro.
“That is going on 90 miles off our shores – or about 150 miles from where we are right now,” said an angry Hasner.
“This is not just an attack on the president, it is an attack on who we are as Americans,” he said. “It is part of a bigger issue for Americans and Floridians. We will have to work even harder to develop alternative fuels.”

Crazy lady on the bus BE damned!
Date: 2006-09-27 11:20 am (UTC)Does it go...."Believe it or not I'm walking on air something something something..."?
Man Pride and Prejudice AND Gilmore Girls? You're a keeper for sure!
I'm gonna put nuts on the shopping list so we can sit outside and crack nuts and look at our breath this weekend!! Although you can be the designated nut cracker---cause I tried to rip a phone book and it wasn't happening--I got a little rip in one of the pages but I was like "Ehn ehnnnnn"---it wasn't giving even with the trick.

the dialogue on gilmore girls didn't seem as rapid-fire as usual, or I missed the most juicy bits at the beginning and end of the episode.
*note - stoplight cameras don't use flashbulbs.
Re: Crazy lady on the bus BE damned!
Date: 2006-09-27 12:40 pm (UTC)Now I might beg to differ on the stoplight cameras. Not that I've been caught (well I have an explanation for the first 2 times) but I HAVE seen a flash on the one in Baltimore that's mounted on the side of the road. Maybe they use some other type of light?

Fisher Island millionaire Bruce McMahan loved his daughter so much, he married her... even though they were both married to other people at the time, too.

Date: 2006-09-29 03:02 am (UTC)I feel sorry for her husband, and his wife, Elena. :(
I'm guessing there had to be at least some true attraction there for her to do what she did... but I can't help but wonder if money was large factor.

Date: 2006-09-27 01:59 pm (UTC)I liked Heroes as well; the characters all seemed to be fairly stereotypical archetypes but that ok for something like this. My only concern is that they will drag things out too much.
Wait you mean Bush isn’t a Devil?

Date: 2006-09-27 02:11 pm (UTC)I like that Clark is fully teen-nerdy, with the juggy-ears.
I was a bit disappointed that bouncing boy is mostly a walking fat joke, but hopefully that'll ease up a bit later on down the line - and it's keen that they make note of the other legionnaires as well, so I figure they'll have one or two core legion folks, and mix up the secondary ones.
Oh, bush is a devil... maybe not *the* Devil.

oh! -Film Threat has a 24-minute promo version of the 1997 Justice League of America pilot available for download.

I think that the Atom in football pads is actually a pretty sharp costume... er, comparitively.
