Just in case no one’s told you today that meth is evil, just check out the Faces of Meth website here. One weird thing I noticed is that in all of the ‘after’ shots, the addict is very pale, almost corpselike.
Stay away from meth. If you don’t think it’s a problem here, you’re wrong.
Premonition - starring Sandra Bullock…or as I like to call her, “My first wife!” 
Fred Claus - the sister of one of my students is an extra in this movie!
Click here for a cool site if you cook. Some of the most frustrating conversations in my house go like this:
“What’s for dinner?”
“I don’t know. What sounds good to you?”
“I don’t know. Anything in particular you want?”
“No–how about you?”
And it can go on and on for days in the same vein. But if you have a plan, the whole cycle of frustration is short-circuited and domestic bliss makes its triumphant return. OK, maybe that’s engaging in a little hyperbole. But anything that makes life easier is good, right?
But in a year or two you will be receiving a thousand credit card offers per month. And forget eating dinner uninterrupted because telemarketers will have your number. They know you have to eat and they love to talk to you when you mouth is full.
There is a lot of great information here on how to keep your telephone line free and your mailbox unstuffed.
And even if it isn’t relevant to you, tell your parents about it. I guarantee that they hate this stuff as much as I do.
QUICK UPDATE: As much as I would like to think all the measures outlined in the above-linked article help, my wife and I received a telemarketer’s call during (yes, you guessed it) dinner. AAARGH!
I just have to say that I had a wonderful weekend! My mother-in-law came to our house on Saturday and kept our kids while my wife and I went and did the following:
On Sunday afternoon (get this), I got to take a ONE HOUR NAP!!!! It has been months since that has happened!
I hope you all had a good weekend, too!
Does anyone else reading this have a high enough geek quotient to comment on this picture released by DC Comics (see bigger version here)? Personally, I think it’s pure geek bait by the good folks at DC…and, yes, I fell for it. Combine my personal love of the Perez-Wolfman Teen Titans, Alex Ross and Mark Waid’s Kingdom Come, Crisis on Infinite Earths (is that Barry Allen in the red and yellow lightning splashed costume?), Infinite Crisis (OK, I didn’t love it but I bought it and that has to count for something), and Elseworlds (how else do you explain Batman of Arabia?) and I never really had a chance, did I?

With last week’s announcement that Hillary Clinton has formed an presidential exploratory committee, the 2008 presidential campaign is in the news.
Who’s going to be the Democratic candidate? Hillary, who would be the first woman presidential candidate? Barack Obama, who would be the first black candidate? Or someone else?
More interestingly, who do you think the Republicans will nominate? Why?
News, trivia and a snarky sense of humor…who could ask for anything more?
