The Johnson Smith company used to be THE place to go when you needed whoopie cushions, fart spray, trick gum, and all that good stuff. In recent years they’ve slowly gotten rid of anything worth buying and have since become just another Lilian Vernon clone. It’s sad. Luckily, another company has risen to fill the…

Photos from the red carpet premiere yesterday of Pirates of the Caribbean are now online. I wish I could have gone, but we were busy doing house and wedding stuff. 🙁
Today’s the day. The National Do Not Call Registry is now accepting signups! The site is swamped right now, so you might have trouble signing up online. You can also register by calling 1-888-382-1222, but you’ll need to call it from the phone number you’d like to have blocked.
Holy moley. Strom Thurmond has finally kicked the bucket. 100 years is a good long run, that’s for sure.
The year is 1986 and your favorite Disneyland attraction has closed to make way for George Lucas’ Star Tours. What do you do? Well you sit around moping for the good ol’ days for about thirteen years, then you rebuild the whole damn thing in a 3D modeling program. In this case, it’s Monsanto’s long-gone…
I was out of the office sick the past two days, but the good news is that I was home to accept delivery of our new grill. We got the propane version of the Weber Genesis Gold B and it rocks. We made burgers, dogs, and zukes last night and they were all pretty good….

It’s not kept up very well nowadays, and the content may be a little dated, it still makes me happy. There’s something…
Yesterday I replaced some more landscape lights, and we went to two garden centers scouting out possible replacements for a sweetgum tree with wandering roots in our front yard. I’m leaning towards a king palm, but Tammy’s got her eyes set on a european white birch. We’re still researching though! Since we moved in, we…
Tammy’s a huge Harry Potter fan, so of course we did the midnight run to the bookstore just now. I haven’t been living in Anaheim Hills for very long, but I have never seen our Borders parking lot even half-full. Tonight it was out of control. Every space was taken, cars were double and triple…
Monk’s second season starts tonight at 10pm, PST. If you haven’t seen Monk before, tune in tonight or tell your Tivo to grab it! It’s great. Tony Shalhoub stars as the obsessive-compulsive Adrian Monk. This was the sleeper hit of 2002’s TV season if you ask me!
