Truly bad TV

I turned on the TV just now and “Nancy Grace” is on.

Oh. My. God.

This is horrible.

WTF was CNN thinking? I can almost hear their ratings jumping off a cliff and screaming all the way to the rocky canyon below, with a “poof” at the bottom like an old Roadrunner cartoon.

Make it stop. I’m now looking for Full House re-runs on the family channel.

Update: I sent a message to CNN. Won’t make any difference, but I feel better having told them exactly how I felt.

If you’re getting tired of stacking cats

For any of you flash-game addicts that still have, say, a marriage, in spite of Stack the Cats, here’s the ’84 Infocom Game for Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. The BBC had a contest to provide flash animation for the game, and there are two versions to play (and you can switch between them).

I have to add the caveat that “been to” sometimes just means “drove through.” For example, the only stop I made in Ohio was to buy gasoline on my way too / from Pennsylvania from Texas.

I’ve only lived in Texas in my life. How exciting, huh?
