We’ve just discovered, in the last couple of days, that some rats (Rats! Rats! F-ing rats with…aw, forget it) have moved into our attic, and maybe even down some walls.
So I’m wondering, has anyone ever used those sonic repeller as seen on TV thingies? If so, have they worked?
I’d so very much like it if the rats would leave.

On my way home today, I stopped at the store, and picked up “The Awful Truth” on DVD. It’s an awesome TV show created by the equally awesome Michael Moore, creator of “Roger and Me“, and “Downsize This!”
I was so moved by a segment on his show, that I had to write him an email, which came back because his mailbox is full.
So I’m reprinting it, here, because I know I’ll get busy and forget to send it:

Hi Michael,
I just bought the DVD collection of “The Awful Truth”, and I’m still wiping my tears of fury which became tears of joy, after watching you save a man’s life, in episode one.
You continue to be an inspiration to me.
Thank you for making a difference!
Fondly and respectfully yours,
Wil Wheaton

This has got to be the coolest day to write, this year. (If it isn’t, I’m sure someone will point that out!)
I was watching A&E last night, and there was a show all about Jack Benny. I guess Jack Benny used to always refer to things the same way I do, calling them “the best”, or “the most amazing”, or whatever.
One of his friends said that Jack Benny would come in from a shoeshine, and say, “Would you look at this shine? This is the best shine, ever!”. After eating a lunch, he’d say, “How about this ham and cheese? This has got to be the best ham and cheese I’ve ever had!”
Sounds like he had a mostly postive attitude, and really enjoyed life. I thought that was really cool.
So it came to my attention that today is Brent Spiner’s birthday. Happy birthday, Brent! He must be at least as old as I am, now. Wow.
Neverland continues to be amazing. I will take some pictures and put a few of them up this coming week.
Jane White is getting some RAVE reviews. Check out Box Office Magazine, Entertainment Today, and Indie Rag. We are having more Jane screenings soon, so watch this space, or check the official Jane website for more info. I just love Jane White, from top to bottom. Everything about this movie makes me smile, and I hope you will all get a chance to see it.
I was sent a copy of DHTML and CSS for the World Wide Web, from peachpit press (Thank you, ALEXA!), and I’ve been reading it in all my free time. This site is going to be so badass, I can’t even begin to describe it. Looking at my source makes me cringe, right now, but Roughy and I should have the whole thing fixed RSN. 🙂
Now, I am off to take lunch to my lovely wife, who is over-booked with clients today at the salon (yes, that’s right. My wife is that good a hairdresser. They over-book, baby!).
Thought for today comes again from the Lama:

“Seeking blessings from outsiders is not right. Your life is on your own shoulders.”

Have a good weekend, everyone.

Today is my friend Kevin’s birthday.
Kevin hates it when people make a big deal about his birthday, so that’s exactly what I’m doing.
Ha.

This made me laugh out loud.
It’s been quite some time since we had some controversy, too…I think that, regardless of political ideology, we can all agree that the political process must be put back into the hands of the people, and taken away from wealthy individuals and corporations. My greatest hope is that the Enron collapse, and the subsequent investigations (if ever something was screaming for an independent counsel, I’d say this is on the list), will get some real campaign finance reform passed, and maybe people will be so outraged that they’ll actually register to vote, and participate in our government.
You are registered to vote, and informed about your choices, aren’t you?
