Jesse's earworm has now started my own of "Bye, Bye Love," specifically the Simon & Garfunkel version I was listening to on my car ride Saturday. If I'm lucky, it'll morph into the version from All That Jazz, as sung by Roy Scheider and Ben Vereen. Oooo, there it goes!

I'm through with romance
I'm through with love
[Oh, yeah!]
I'm through with countin'
The stars above
[Forget the stars!]
And here's the reason
That he's so free
His lovin' baby
She's through with me...

Way late to the ND drive-naming party, but Iain Banks is my favourite contemporary SF namer of ships.

Now, his ships are generally hyper-intelligent AIs who name themselves and tend to have odd senses of humour (by our standards).

Trader Joe's Pad Thai Noodles & Sauce is kind of nasty-tasting.

ponders buying Oblivion, whatever it may be, and learning to play it just to listen to Sean Bean's voice

It's a computer game of the fantasy role-playing variety. A pretty nifty one too IMO. Probably not the best Sean Bean voice fix though. I suppose you just keep talking to the dude he voice acts for, but that would get awfully repetitive really quick.

I've never been much of a computer gamer, aside from Tetris and a brief obsession with Civilization. Too little hand-eye coordination and too little patience--or maybe just not the right kind of patience.

Futurama Is Back! Grab a Can of Slurm and Settle In

Spoilery. My fave bit is that in the future the most popular TV show will be Everybody Loves Hypnotoad and the DVD release of the new season will have a full episode of this show.

I'm hungry. Should today be a burrito day?

Should today be a burrito day?

Signs point to 'Yes.'

Yes, today is a good day to eat a burrito.

Every day should be burrito day!

My day was "Frozen South Beach Dinner" day, which was...not bad, actually. But it was no burrito.
