\n* Hang your Battlestar Galactica<\/em>, your Mad Men<\/em>, your Wire<\/em> – Top Gear<\/em><\/strong> is the best thing on TV right now. And to all those people at NBC plotting the American version starring Adam Carolla – just stop it. I mean it. Stop trying to imitate British TV and go sit in the corner and reflect on what a corner you painted yourself into with reality shite.\n<\/p>\n

\n* You too, ABC – if you know what’s smart you’ll just punt Life on Mars<\/em> and maybe run some college football in that slot.\n<\/p>\n

\n* The wife broke down and bought a 3G iPhone today. One of us! ONE OF US! ONE OF US!!!\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/em>* I’m sitting on half a dozen posts and 4500 words worth of pretty incendiary political commentary, but I haven’t reached the point of rage where it actually merits posting. Maybe later, depending on the caliber of stupidity I get socked with as things go on. Suffice it to say, democracy is generally its own punishment.\n<\/p>\n

\n* Also sitting on over 500 words on the topic of Brett Favre, also highly incendiary. Considering posting that, just because of my career as a frustrated sports editor. However, I think there needs to be something said by some sports commentator who hasn’t<\/em> got an outrageous man-crush on the Ol’ Mississippi Gunslinger and who can see a slight problem with bringing somebody back for their eighteenth<\/em> season<\/em> of pro football.\n<\/p>\n

\n* Battery issues seem to be catching. I had to condition the laptop battery, which is already over 200 charge cycles. Thing is, I don’t want to have to replace the sonofabitch until after September and the inevitable new MacBook release (check the history, kids) and even then, I’d really like not to have to buy a computer when that money could much more usefully go on a $illy television just in time for college football. Although to be honest, any HD upgrade probably won’t happen until Christmas, when the next round of price drops hits big, DirecTV has their satellites all in place for 200 channels of high-def, and there’s plenty of college basketball on. When you have seven games on your season tickets, buying a TV for Saturday afternoons is sort of pointless.\n<\/p>\n

\n* Although I have to say, re-watching the Season 4 premiere of Battlestar<\/em>, I would awfully like to have HD before the final 10 episodes start. =)\n<\/p>\n

\n* My Friend Vince Sez he cannot believe this<\/a> is real.\n<\/p>\n
