Flash Game of the Day

NANACA CRASH!!

Oh man, this game is sweet. Just click when it is at your desired angle and hold for power, then watch the guy fly and hit power ups and stuff. So far I kind of suck and my record is 301.93. I'm sure you guys can beat that.

Update: Holy cow, I got 2734.24!

Case Closed

NBC 4 - Now You're Cooking Recipes - Investigators Say Finger In Chili Was Recipe For Hoax

Anna Ayala was arrested at her Las Vegas home Thursday night, San Jose police spokesman Enrique Garcia said. Ayala was ordered held without bond after being taken into custody on a warrant alleging grand larceny and attempted grand larceny. Police provided more details about the arrest Friday afternoon.

San Jose police now say the attempted grand larceny charge is related to the Wendy's incident. Authorities say the found finger appears to be part of an elaborate hoax.

First off, what is up with this story being placed in "Now You're Cooking Recipes" category by the news site. That's pretty darn funny. I feel bad for Wendy's. Their profits have gone down since the incident. They're giving away free frosties to Bay Area customers to try and drum up business, so that's cool.

I Am Beginning To Think Sleep Is Worthless

Ahh...I love ambition and nothing klls ambition with me, more than sleep. So last night, I got a lot of work done, why, because I didn't sleep. Today I did well on my test, I enjoyed my classes, and I didn't get much sleep. Perhaps I should follow this model more.

Umm...anyone doing anything tonight?

The Magnificent Seven (1960)

I moved this up on my queue because I had just recently watched The Seven Samurai. I really enjoyed seeing them back-to-back, because there are so many small parallels that I might not have noticed if I had watched TMS a few months down the line.

While this one definitely lacks the character development that I admired so much in TSS, it still translates to the western easily. Unfortunately, while the poor villagers in TSS were likeable and actually paid attention to, Magnificent Seven glosses over the townspeople and focuses on its seven heroes. I think that's where it's not so hot.

Nevertheless, with the music of Bernstein blairing in the background (which I like in this context but don't normally enjoy), great fighting sequences that still wow a modern audience, and plenty of great old stars that all fit the cowboy personality like a glove, it's entertaining and enjoyable, as well as beautiful to watch.

The Office

The OfficeThere's a short list of shows that Sara and I never miss. NBC's The Office is the newest addition to that list. It's on Tuesdays at 9:30. You can read more about it at the official site and at TV Tome. It's based on a British sitcom of the same name. I haven't seen the original, but the American version is very funny. Steve Carell, former Daily Show correspondent, plays Michael Scott, the obliviously incompetent supervisor of an office of paper salesmen. He plays the part so that you can actually feel how uncomfortable it would be to work with him. The rest of the ensemble cast is excellent as well. There's some good talent behind the camera, too. Greg Daniels, creator, writer and executive producer, has worked on Seinfeld, The Simpsons, King of the Hill and Saturday Night Live. Give this show a try. The upcoming episode is the season finale, but they may be repeating the other episodes in the coming weeks. And if you already like the show, then you can go here and vote for it to prevent it from being canceled.

It's April 22nd and Everybody knows...

..today is Earth Day
Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday to whoever's being born
And now I'm trying hard to think of something
meaningful and worthy, kind of earthy
to make everybody ask themselves just
What are we doing here?
and what are we doing to her?
I don't know
What are we gonna do?

I think I post this every year.
