Good call--why, oh why can't I learn to pay attention? :)

Am I the only one who's not crazy about Fantasia? I think she can sing well, but I'm not thrilled about the tone of her voice. There's just something about it that I find unpleasant. I would much rather have seen Marque (the really cute guy who sang "Wind Beneath My Wings") go through.

Now there's a moment that belongs in the "Muppet moments that make me cry" list!

They did a fascinating report on this recently (a year or so ago) on 60 Minutes or 48 Hours. There was a man who gets particular taste sensations when he hears different words. There was a blind man whose sees things when he hears music--brain scans have confirmed that the visual areas of his...

Maybe whoever uploaded the track info mistyped it and put the name of the character in with the name of the performer? I've gotten quite a few faulty track listings myself from the CDDB.

I forgot about the socks. LOL! Thanks for the laugh. Maybe Dobby can loan him a pair--he seems to be quite fond of them...

"The end is here--the end of high prices!"

I can't wait for this! It's about time the Simpsons got a movie!

That's a great story. Every time I've taught it my students want to talk about the Simpsons episode with the angel skeleton. It's uncanny--it's always the first thing they say!

Well, I liked Richard Harris quite a bit, but I was also disappointed that the quirkier side of his personality was downplayed. One of the things I really love about Dumbledore is how off-beat and kooky he can be, yet also remain serious and respected. Maybe they didn't think audiences would...

The ear-wax ones are, indeed, gross. Not a good present for your sweetie for Valentine's Day, in my opinion. The black pepper ones, though, are surprisingly tasty--if you like pepper, that is.

You mean, they're not magical? I'd better go tell that to the Wizard Scouts--they've been trying to sell them to me all week!

Seriously, if they made a Turkey flavor, I'd even eat them for Thanksgiving.

I think Jelly Belly makes conversation beans--now that is worth saying a mouthful over... :D

I'm watching it now--set Tivo for it. I really liked the guy who represented every Canadian stereotype rolled into one. I'm going to try to remember without backing the recording up. I think he was a hockey-playing mountie with a back-bacon hockey stick who lived in a beer-can igloo and loved...

Fascinating turn of events. If Disney finds new ownership and management, I really hope that Pixar has another go with them in terms of trying to negotiate a new deal. I imagine that they would--they've had such a successful run together. Combine that with the recent comments Steve Jobs has...

I've mentioned this one before, but I always loved "Cookie Monster and the Cookie Tree." What a great book! Food has always been my favorite subject, so a cookie tree was a dream come true! I was too young to remember, but I've been told that once I brought that book to my dad and asked him...

Hail? No, seriously, glad to hear that all is (hopefully) well.

Snow? (The weather condition, I mean, not the mid-90s white Jamaican rapper)

Yeah, I'd like to see them take chances like this more often.
