What? No Muzak version of The Girl From Ipanema?

LionIndex, Guantanamera indeed.
Now, I do have to admit that I get sucked into other versions of The Girl from Ipanema--it's the Muzak version of it that drives me nuts.
Just sayin'.

I Don't Want To Blow You Up!
Because I was just skimming MeFi, I thought there was an O'Reilly book with one of those etched animal covers--except it'd be a marijuana leaf.
Yeah.

Fifty car pileup closes 1-4 in Florida
This is the county I live in.
I have to selfishly say that I am VERY glad that route isn't on my commute. For what it's worth, my thoughts are with those that have been affected by this.

What was your first concert?
How about this for a first concert?
Monsters of Rock 1988 tour with Van Halen headlining, Scorpions, Dokken, Metallica, and Kingdom Come.
My stepfather and I both went. He went his way, I went mine and I was amazed I survived the day. I have vivid memories of an almost stadium-wide shoe fight during one of the band setups.
I was 15 or 16.

Star Wars: The Musical
I'm Yoda, I'm a souljah
I'll mold ya and fold ya
I thought I told ya
Don't be unwise
Judge me not by my size
You won't believe your eyes
Once the X-Wing rise...

Hint: It wasn't what was on the screen
I keep going back to thinking that it would have been more scary if Michael Myers' home life were more "normal."
It did make me want to see the original Halloween again, and Carpenter's take on The Thing as well.

Also, I prefer the term carnography over torture porn, but that's just me.

Major earthquake in Peru
I haven't spoken to my mother about this yet--and it is she who keeps in touch with our relatives in Peru a lot more than I do.

Top 50 Horror Movies.
Woo hoo! HORROR!
What's interesting to me what has become less and/or more scary to me now that I have become a parent.
I also have to admit, I CANNOT wait to see From Beyond again, though I can't really say I like the new cover art for it.

Endless Zombie Rampage
Sweet!
Now I have another option when I've burned up KoL adventures and UrbanDead action points.

Artw - Thanks for sharing Nexus War with me. I'm a bit slow when it comes to certain things.
Hell, I'm just now thinking about buying a copy of Guild Wars--the original. Yeah, really.

Brood XIII
Talk about perspective...here I thought the love bugs and clouds of gnats we have in Florida were bad.
The mosquitoes are still just plain evil, though.

free games
Mmmm! But I still have my old copy of GTA and the London 1969 expansion on CD. Really.
I've never heard of Wild Metal, so I'm looking forward to grabbing that one. Now I'm in search of Syndicate--which I don't have my original copy anymore.

The Frugal Gourmet, 1939-2004
Agreed, silusGROK. I used to watch the oddest combination of shows on PBS on Saturdays. It would be cartoons on the networks, then The Frugal Gourmet, Motorweek, and This Old House (with Bob Vila, not the other guy) for part of my day. It was a sad thing when the scandal broke and accusations were flying.
Rest in peace, Jeff Smith.

Indiana Univeristy Porn Sites...
Sadly, the only thing I could think of is, "I'd buy that for a dollar!"
But not really. I mean I could use that dollar for a Mountain Dew or something, you know?

Did Florida's justice system fail miserably?
Actually, battery, concealed weapon and attempted kidnapping charges were part of Smith's criminal record as well, but not mentioned in the TBO piece.
WTKS in Orlando had a great spoof of The Reagans miniseries with Nancy Reagan revealing to Ronnie her new "Just Say No" campaign. Can't find a downloadable copy of it, sadly.

The post was mostly to see if this happens all the time, or are we Monday morning quarterbacking with these types of deals?
Part of me is naive, I'm sure, but couldn't have this been foreseen, or prevented by enforcing this man's punishment? For goodness sakes, one judge let this guy serve his sentences on the weekends only!
This is not to say I have the answers, just curious about others' opinions, really.

Good point, Matt. Good thing I won't be called up for a jury, though, as I'm already tainted.
Local news around here, however, has mentioned DNA evidence in Smith's car, and the body was found early this morning (between 12:45 a.m and 1;00 a.m.), but it has not been said where information leading to the body originated from.
I am glad to have posted this, my few, previous links were so much fluff. It's a good thing to hear all sorts of viewpoints.

Doctor Who?
God, I used to LURVE Tegan.
Also in time for my second child, davehat. I can't wait to introduce them both to what my Saturday evenings used to consist of.
God bless WPBT in Miami.

la reina es muerta
I don't know why I listened (still do on occassion) to Morrissey. Maybe as a Hispanic on a campus with NO Hispanics at all, I felt some of his angst. It's funny how many dates I got just because of my Smiths and Morrissey stickers on my truck.
As far as which one I am, I think I'm a closeted Mormon. :) You should've seen my 6 inch tall hair.
