I wonder how many salmon never make it? How many just give up at some point as they struggle against the flow, how many just decide, "Even though this has been the goal of my life, I just can't swim upstream anymore." ?

So rumor around town is that Kevins Smith's new movie, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, is due out this summer. Let's all hope it's better than Dogma. I think it may be, it's got Trish "the Dish" from Mallrats in it, and Jason Lee as well. I [heart] Jason Lee. [Insert Homer drool noise].

Look at me! Or rather, look at the cool lil' me that Jason made. Make one yourself, so we all know what you look like.

A backlash to a backlash? I think that should be called a relash.

TiVo had been saving Rescue at Sea for me for nearly a month. I finally sat down and watched it tonight. Absolutely Fascinating. Synopsis: young men into wireless craze, learning new technology, communicating with friends, mocking grown-ups and society. An accident occurs at sea. A young man is the hero. There's fame, parades and interviews, autographs are craved and collected, a movie is made to tell his tale. Young man sues film production company for invasion of privacy. The year? 1909. The young man? Jack Binns, a Marconi wireless operator. The observations? History repeats itself. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Sylvia gave me some nice wine glasses for my birthday. They're very thin and delicate, with elegant slender stems and a simple, clean design. And I wonder as I sip from one, tasting its thinness through my lips and my tongue, what would happen if I were to bite? What if I were to bite down on this thin slender elegant curve of glass? Would it cut my tongue and my lips, blurring blood and wine? Would I swallow glass or get shards embedded in my gums? Or would it simply break into a million little diamonds, little elegant hand-blown diamonds which would stud my tongue, beguiling people as I talk?

I'm updating megnut right now while the Danish TV guys are here filming the goings-on in the office. Christian, Jesper, and Andreas are here to do a segment on Blogger for their tv show Raketfart, on TV2 Zulu. If you live in Daneland (aka Denmark), you should check it out! It hasn't launched yet, but will soon. I'll post details when I know more.

Best breakfast ever: super chocolatey cookies and coffee with vanilla soy milk. Yum yum yum!

Happy Birthday Mom!
