Over the past few days I’ve seen the first 3 episodes…. backwards. And – it’s good. It’s very good. There’s just the right blend of drama and comedy, with the ‘unmissable’ factor that comes from a good plot. It’s not particularly deep but there’s enough substance to make it great TV. The narration by the dead character (don’t worry – I’m not spoiling anything) is a bit cheesy but quirky enough to hold the thing together.
Everybody does end up looking like a supermodel though – aren’t the suburbs Super-Sized too? 
Disney are pathetic. Making Toy Story 3 on their own proves they have ZERO creative talent, and haven’t for the past 10 years or so. PIXAR has basically kept Disney Films alive over that time, but thankfully they only have one more film to deliver (Cars in 2006) before they get the hell outta there.
I won’t be seeing Toy Story 3. Bit harsh? Well not really, given Disney’s track record on sequels. Hopefully the original voice cast won’t return and the public will desert a PIXAR-less production leaving Disney humiliated at the box office. They can’t ruin the magic of the original films if no one sees it. Boycott!
That’s how I went to school today. I’ve realised that it’s the only way to get better – just get up, grit your teeth and get on with the day. The minute you decide to lie in bed all day you could be out for a week.
And I really don’t have a week to spare. My current TODO list has 11 items on it, and that’s a conservative estimate. I’ve got an MCP 70-270 exam on Friday (eek!) and I need to cram my head with Windows XP knowledge before that.
Oh, and one more thing. I am not going on the Eton summer school visit. I don’t care if the people are lovely, or if we get free tea and biscuits, I am not losing a week of my life to go visit Prince Harry’s friends. If they’re really desperate to meet real people, why not come down to London for the day? Better not – email me instead.
Creationists lose round in textbook sticker fight
the school board has been ordered to remove the stickers immediately
This is what worries me. Remove them – how? You might damage the book cover! And who is going to remove them exactly? The same crack team of sticker-people who put them on in the first place? They better get going, they’ve got to do it ‘immediately’ – which means NOW, people! (Are you allowed to use your fingernails to peel them off? It’s a tough call.)
In case you can’t remember or couldn’t be bothered to click on the link, this was the infamous ‘evolution is just a theory’ sticker in Georgia’s science books. Some people objected to the truth – preferring the ‘alternate idea’, also known as a lie, of ‘intelligent design’. If there really was an intelligent designer, he would have marked the science books in permanent ink or something, rather than a lousy sticker.

Check out my new little work of art, If Dell Sold Religion. I like to think it combines my two favourite topics: computers and ‘faith’.
