This 'n' That


It's been all over the net, so you probably have seen this by now, but there's a live-action Simpsons opening sequence circulating the net. Apparently, a British cable TV station is using this for a promo as they introduce season 17 (or series 17 as they say in Britain) to their viewers. It's pretty darned neat.

What else? Oh. I got a new alarm clock at Costco yesterday. It's nothing real special, execpt that the time was pre-set at the factory and I just set my time zone. Wonder what happens when the power goes off. Well it does have some over-ride buttons. Best, though, it has an in for my MP3 player. This will save on some serious ear chafing during nap time.Actually, I cleaned up in general at Costco. I also scored some flavored water (Calistoga brand), a set of 40 paper punches (cute ones in cute shapes) and a lazy-susan containing about 20 different decorative scissors. Normally, I buy like 2 things. Or nothing at all at Costco/Sam's Club. I don't know what got into me.

Last but not least, I'm currently bemoaning the lack of decent television. Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars were both repeats this week and Grey's Anatomy wasn't on at all. I've got Project Runway all lined up to watch tonight on my Tivo and The OC is back (though it hasn't been that great this year). Apparently, Everwood is coming back on the 20th (and sliding nicely back into its old time slot). With a little luck, I won't be watching Law and Order re-runs forever.
