Down, North, East, North, new Who, new Pooh, new glue and sitting in the big boy chair.

The BBC released the new Doctor Who logo design for the show when it returns in 2010.  The cast of “Seinfeld” returned to “Curb Your Enthusiasm” last week for a 4 story arc.  I was very excited for last week’s episode and can’t wait to watch this weeks.  Nice to have a reunion without actually doing a reunion.  I saw this link last week of a band that did a song using the walkthrough for the original Zork game from the 80′s as the lyrics.  It’s a really catchy tune and still geeky at the same time.  The first authorized sequel to Winnie the Pooh in book form will be out very soon.  I thought that Disney owned the Pooh character.  Obviously, the book isn’t in public domain since this book is authorized.  I made ice cream pie for my son last week and had extra mini M&Ms.  What purpose, besides cooking, do they serve?  I feel like a pig when I eat them.  Also was wondering what percentage of each color was in a bag of M&Ms.  I found this mailing list FAQ online that answered that exact question.  Speaking of my son, when we went to get him a costume last week there were two versions of Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz available.  Why does that not surprise me?  Speaking of my son, he was happy to tell me today that he is big enough to not have to sit in a car seat.  I don’t know what I am going to do with the seat now.  Got an email last week from my cable company trying to convince people to watch commercials so they can get free samples.  I’m not going to change my watching habits, but I’ll try to get the freebies when they come across my screen.  Speaking of products and placement, was watching the classic sci-fi movie “Silent Running” and noticed the product placement in the movie.  It was amazing that the products shown in the movie still use those logos today.  Not bad for a film over 37 years old, and the film holds up really well for it’s age.  When I went to work last week they were pulling down the old wallpaper to put up new stuff.  I couldn’t figure out why.  The old stuff was in great condition.  The only difference is the new stuff is a lighter shade of gray and the small of glue is all over the hallways.  The fire drill we had on Tuesday was a nice distraction.  Was a little cold outside and the alarm was deafening for a good ten minutes, but was nice to get out and talk to people I usually don’t get to chat with at work.  The thing that ticks me off are the drivers on the highways that slow down way too much when they see a cop car on the side of the road.  It’s not like we’re on the Autobahn.  We weren’t going too fast and we slowed down way too much.  Doesn’t help me get to work any sooner by driving that slow.

Roman gets arrested, my son loses his first, life via Twitter, Indiana Jones reincarnated? and thank goodness for Jewish Holidays.

The big story to hit last week was the arrest of Roman Polanski in Zurich after 32 years on the run for molestation charges.  I might talk about my son too much, but if I do, let me know.  This last week he lost his first baby tooth and the results weren’t quite what I expected.  Even though it’s 4-weeks away we went out and picked up a Halloween costume so we could beat the rush at the stores.  Here’s another adventure I had with my son at the miniature golf course.  Thank goodness he was too young to understand what I was talking about.  People keep talking about Twitter ever since Oprah joined the bandwagon.  I found this video online of what life would be like if you could only talk in 140 characters or less.  Speaking of videos I had a conversation of the de-evolution of the music video and the Primus video Mr. Krinkle was mentioned.  While on the topic of work, I saw a guy last week using The Club on his car to protect it from being stolen.  I’m wondering what decade we’re living in!  People still use that stuff and think that their car will still be safe?  Last Monday was Yom Kippur and it was a slow day at work.  Amazing how much a Jewish holiday affected our work flow, amongst other things.  Also, you won’t believe what I saw at McDonald’s.  Let’s just say it’s a fashion statement I’ve never seen before!  And lastly, I complain about people who think that their pets are kids!
