Hmmm... somehow, I got a major scrape behind my left knee. Was I attacked by newt during the night? catch the flesh on some sharp object? Aliens botching a chip implant (or removal?) I need a personal forensics team to dance for my amusement. A few notes before I hop into the shower.

galactic battlegrounds will have to wait. for some reason, ol' directx 8.1 doesn't want to install. I suspect lappie needs a reformat, and I'm not going to do that until I can back up the vital stuff off of the hard drive.

Hey... Alton Brown has a place to rant? How neat! Probably the most nifty guy on cable that's not involved with the discovery channel. Not very frequently updated, though. I'm impressed by his scientific knowledge, humor, and mass of trivial data. Mind you, his website is a mass of useless graphics, but it can be looked past. Tonight's Episode of good eats is about cocoa. Food network, at 9pm EST.

Speaking of chocolate... note to self: overnight the yummies to my dearest before work today, along with some other goodies... been lacking in my timelyness...more tricky to do net-ordering of stuff from work, too.

Ok.. time for the pod to enter the rain-box.

The Good Eats last night was one of the best he has done.. REALLY dry.. great sarcasm.. an all around good episode.. but then.. I don't think I have seen a bad one.. he is one of my favourite people on Food TV next to Iron Chef.. and the new Cooks Tour show.. which gives me a singular hope that Politically Correctness won't stop EVERYONE from having a good time..

Anyone who visits his childhood home in france with his brother and takes a time out to play war on an old beach bunker (complete with firecrackers to bomb it with) is ok by me..

its like a cooking show without the annoying cooking just the fun interesting stuff.. He deserves Emerils spot.. since he is way more interesting.. and not as annoying.. usually

thanks for the tip! I love Alton Brown. That slightly domme-y Asian lady who shows up from time to time is pretty cool, and Alton even has an interesting scar. :)

:) quite welcome! I think he's a neato guy, and his wife and little girl seem nifty, too.
