as much for me as you

I have added a link to the fall premieres on the sidebar over to the left there. It's important to me to know when my shows are on. I've also watched the first episode of True Blood, which airs Sundays at 9eastern, and is pretty sweet. It's on the movie network here, so you'll have to subscribe. You also get Californication and Dexter, so that alone makes it worth the extra $$.

scary!

I know, politics again! But please, read this if you're going to be voting in the US election, and bear in mind that John McCain is old and sickly.
clicky click!

my bad

I should have bolded Fringe in my list of premieres. I'm sorry. I'm more sorry if you missed it. It's on again Sunday at 8 eastern, on Fox, and you should definitely watch it. It seems to have all the good parts of a JJ Abrahms show, but without the "well since I missed the first episode, clearly I can never watch it" aspect.

I bet you thought we were about done with recalls

you were wrong.

Health Canada's recall site. Updated pretty well. I even found a toy that I have which is unsafe due to higher than acceptable levels of barium. Barium? Sure. I haven't opened it yet, thankfully, and have emailed the lovely folks at Alex toys to see what I should do with it. Hopefully they send me a pile of money for my troubles.

go alaska!

I mean, wait. What? I'm not that into politics really, even though it's hard to avoid with the 2-year long bombardment of ads and trash campaigns, but this latest move has me a bit baffled. So, let's choose someone who nobody has heard of to be the potential VP. We'll have people saying everything from "oh, she's great, so brave with her son who has Down syndrome!" (but of course, the wee boy is only 4 months, so I'm not sure there have been myriad issues she's had to brave her way through just yet...) and she's let us all know now that her 17-year old daughter is pregnant, for no reason other than to make people stop speculating that her baby son is actually her daughter's child. No, see, she's having her own! He's mine! Brilliant. I'll have to ask my cousin Kelly what she thinks, she lives in Alaska, maybe she can offer some insight. Not that it matters what we think, I suppose!

Just had to get that out.
