How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I just spent the past few hours poking around the Comcast OnDemand menu, and found that I actually like the new Lifetime show "How to Look Good Naked." Carson Kressley does occasionally do his annoying "funny" schtick, but when he's being one-to-one with the featured woman, he's very personable and real.

The show itself is a great concept (which I found out here was bought from the BBC, of course) which the first two women weren't completely told about before they began. They know about the whole "learn to accept yourself as you are now" part of the show, but they don't know about the nude photo shoot at the end (I think that they were probably told that the name of the show was "How to Look Good," leaving the last word out) until he springs it on them. The first woman, Layla, really goes through a wonderful ego boost, but takes some talking to convince her to do the shoot nude. The other one was all "Sure!!" It's very touching watching these women learn to see themselves as they are now and see themselves as sexy, beautiful women. I think I'll be watching this show if it's on while I'm flipping channels, but I don't think it'll be appointment TV for me.

Oh, and in other OnDemand menu stuff, I love this description for the TV miniseries of "The Stand": "Ooops. A government lab just released a deadly virus. Everybody's dead. All accept [sic--grr, Comcast should spring for a proofreader] these two groups of people: The "good" side. And the "bad" side. Now, let's see who wins."

I just went down to the garage to take out the trash. This proved to be a mistake. Almost the entire courtyard is under several inches of water.

I'm very glad at the moment that my unit is placed where it is. If I wasn't near the front door and I'd probably have water creeping up to my doorstep right now.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Sounds like one hell of a storm in CA -- definitely hurricane strength, to be sure. Hopefully, all the earthquake-reinforced buildings will be up to it, but still -- if the trees and such haven't had high winds in a whole lot of years, all the weaker ones come down at once.

And I understand, from a landscaping friend of mine in SF, eucalyptus trees will come down if you look at them hard. Quite an entertaining rant, actually....
