Don't really want to watch Parenthood, but my Lauren Graham crush is strong. We'll see if it wins out in the end.

Sad about the Corey, though I loathed him back in the day. Kiefer was my One True Lost Boys crush, followed by Jason Patric.

Wary about a couple of the storylines,

Liese, the second of the storylines is drawn right from the original film with the apparent difference being that in this case, the father takes responsibility, rather than bailing and leaving his grandparents to raise the child. Beyond that, the child's race was never made a big deal of in the film.

However, haven't watched the show yet-- it's sitting on the Tivo, waiting for me.

7 Year Old Hero Calls 911 During Armed Robbery (VIDEO, AUDIO)

A 7 year old boy may well have saved his family's life through his quick thinking and bravery.

Three armed assailants broke into the boys Norwalk home at around 8:30am, at which point the boy hid in a locked bathroom with his six year old sister and made the call to 911.

The LA Times excerpts the boy's call:

"There's some guy who's going to kill my mom and dad," he told the emergency dispatcher. "Can you come, please? "Bring cops . . . a lot of them! . . . And soldiers too," the boy said. He told the dispatcher that he thought his parents had been shot.

You can hear the boys screams as the men discover him in the bathroom, but upon discovering his 911 call they fled the scene without taking anything.

I haven't actually listened to the tape....

Yeah, it occurs to me I don't have any memory of the original, although I must have seen it at some point. And as per the point in question, it hasn't been made a big deal of in the show, either, so perhaps it will play out okay.

A few moments later Emaryn asks, very confused, why they think God hates flags.

Hahahah! They're flappy and divisive, I suppose. Ooh, and maybe God doesn't like the bit about them not touching the ground. Yeah, I got nothing. That's too funny.

Seemingly there's now a question as to whether the Westboro people's first amendment rights include disrupting funerals and such. A man whose son was a soldier sued them for disrupting the funeral and was awarded, I think, some $5 million.

The trailers for Parenthood made me want to kick my TV in, but I take it the actual show is better?

What was your answer, Gud?

That 911 story makes me tear up.

The internet is up for this year's Nobel Peace Prize:

The nomination for the internet is supported by 2003 Nobel Peace Prize winner Shirin Ebadi and the founder of the $100 laptop project Nicholas Negroponte.

It is unclear who would accept the prize if the internet were to win

Cats?

I just got a call from a collection agency about my TENS unit. The company that I got the unit from keeps sending the bill to the wrong insurance company. No matter how many times I tell them the name and address of my insurance company, they keep sending the bill to a different one, and then sending another bill to me telling me that my insurance has refused to cover it. Of course they have -- that's not my insurance!
