Torch & Splat

Monday, Mar. 31, 2008 - 12:31 a.m.

The Olympic torch was welcomed to Tianmen Square on Monday, local time.

This confluence makes me throw up in my mouth a little.

John and I did indeed become iPod people, and Old Buddy Dave served as a catalyst. OBD just purchased one and was telling me about it in chat, and I was relaying his info to John and John suddenly said we could get ourselves each one, too! Yayyy!

So, tahdah!

I was watching I Love Lucy over the weekend, and I happened to see the Hollywood episode where she encounters William Holden at the Brown Derby.

I've seen that episode probably a dozen times in my life, and every single time I catch a new bit of business.

This time I noticed the dimension and shape of the great big splat that Holden took when Lucy collided with the waiter, and I wondered how many takes it took to get that perfect shot.

Is there any more superb television like that out here on any of the free broadcast channels? Sigh.

Okay, not a long post. Have a good Monday, and happy last day of March.
