I need to apologize for the rather fangirlish reference in my last goo. I was having a little crush on Marcus Cole when I made the goo... that is my justification.

When I say 90210 in the rest of this post it is perhaps incorrect because I mean in fact "Beverly Hills 90210", the old one, not this new one that came on TV this year that is called just "90210"... which I have very little interest in... but anyway...

Um, speaking of TV crushes is it just me or does Dylan on 90210 look quite a bit like Spike on Buffy ? :P He doesn't have the insanely prominent cheekbones really but there is this weird resemblance. They both have eyebrow scars, although on opposite eyebrows. Can you imagine how bored a person has to be to notice something like that?!?... I don't really have a thing for Dylan though. Spike is just more interesting. And he definitely dresses better, and there's the cool fake accent :P I read a theory actually that Luke Perry's character in the original Buffy movie (which bears very little resemblance to the series) played an early version of Spike. The character name was Pike... and while not a vampire he was supposed to be a cool dude... hmmm...

Anyway, I am not sure why people hate on Beverly Hills 90210. It seems like a good show. I would definitely say it seems better than our previous obsession, The O.C, which seems to have stolen a lot of their plot lines besides. The season 2 xmas episode we just watched was beyond dorky though. But it has usually been quite good, so far. Bringing it back around to the beginning of my post, Marcus is supposed to appear in 5 episodes of 90210 coming up 4th season. Yay...

90210 does kind of tend to have a moral in every episode and be a bit dorky, so it is kind of a cross between Little House on the Prairie and a more modern teen drama.... But hey... I love Little House on the Prairie, too.

I'm probably going to get embarrassed and delete/edit this.

We all have our nerdy crushes. More than one Survivor contestant has inspired a crush here, and Maura Tierney on ER. Then again, I somehow made it through five Star Trek series without being attracted to any of the women, not counting a high school crush on Terry Ferrell. Rosalind Chao was almost in the DS9 cast; I guess she counts.

I wish I wasn't such a freakin idiot about cars

Seems like every time I need an oil change they want to do $600 of service on my car even though it's running fine. It's getting so I absolutely dread oil changes because I feel like such an idiot not knowing what I really need done to the stupid car and I feel like an asshole if I say anything about it. I hate my stupid car. Go »

More weather and anime

So the flood is on its way out, but not without bringing a little excitement. It was time yesterday to go 50 miles to the farm for Darrell's grandma's 90th birthday. Foolishly, I chose our usual route instead of the alternate route that was high and dry 2 years ago when the water was 2 feet higher. Go »

I love waking up early

I got up before 5, took a shower, did a bunch of my fun and addictive getting-free-stuff-on-the-internet activities, had breakfast, and went and found some treasures in Kameo, all before heading out to work at 7:50. That was awesome. We always go to bed before 10 anyway so what's the point hanging around in bed in the morning when I'm not tired. Go »

We found a big 1.75 liter bottle of Absolut Apeach for $10 ... We didn't realize what a great special this was until we saw that the little 0.75 Go »

Giant flakes of cereal

The big news of today is we found a big flake of raisin bran crunch. I don't know if it's quite as big as the one featured in the coming link but it's pretty big. You can get some idea of what my life is like because I then proceeded to google for "largest flake" and "giant flake". Go »

Vanity

So, is my new picture OK? Too weird of an angle? I think it is a better likeness than the old one because I look kind of worried and I'm hiding in a hood :P. Go »
