Not sure if any of you are following Californication, but I just spotted Stephen Root (aka Jimmy James), a guy who I think makes every scene he is in funnier, in a role as Kathleen Turner’s husband. And my goodness, Kathleen Turner…

The Angels have two innings to stop the Evil Empire. Yeah I don’t see it happening either. NYC is about to become a rather smug insufferable place now. Enjoy your purchase George.

John Cole –
Little Bitsy could use another bleg, if you’re so inclined. The other Pomeranian, Commissioner James Gordon, is gaining on her quick like. He’s less than 200 votes behind and has probably gotten over 1,000 votes since late afternoon.

Aw, hell. I can’t even get riled up over the Yanks winning. The only thing I really regret is not getting to see BuCarver commit seppuku on national TV after the Yanks lose Game 7.

I wish some coder out there would come up with an app that lets me start itunes downloads at a preset time so I could go to bed and not have to wait up till the wee hours to avoid busting my cap on the satellite broadband thing I suffer under. And for the Amazon downloader too. Also.

@jeffreyw: What OS? Scheduling is no problem, it’s built into most OSs. Main thing is using a different program to handle your podcasts. If you have iTunes do it you just won’t be able to start it up. Have a separate program handle the downloading and you can use iTunes without fear.
On windows the at command can make programs run when you want. On unixes, which should include macs, do a cron entry.

@Yutsano:
Well, here’s hoping for a replay of the 2004 ALCS. Which I have been watching in place of the 2009 ALCS, simply because I cannot stomach those NY bastahds.
In any case, since ‘Go Sox’ has no meaning right now, Go Angels. Then, if the worst happens, Go Phils.
Ash Can
Not looking good for the Angels, but I don’t really care. I still think their management’s an ass for trying to pass the Angels off as a Los Angeles team. “The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim?” Bitch, please. And I still like Joe Girardi, so seeing the Yankees win doesn’t bother me. As for the Yanks and Phillies in the WS, meh. Whatever. I have friends in Philly and I’m a big fan of Center City, so I’m OK with them winning. Again… zzzz…
This may be another WS when I try to watch all the games, but fall asleep by the 6th inning of each one.

Nonsense. Everyone knows Dick keeps his brain hidden in a chest at the bottom of a lake guarded by a great serpent.

As there is no TV here, Angels-Yankees is on the radio. The Angels are toast. Joe Morgan is the dumbest sportscaster ever. This is why they removed him from the TV.

@Violet: Do you live near Western NC? Because if Evelyn gets her no-kill shelter, I nominate you for her first paid employee. You’ve been stellar throughout this whole ordeal. Obsessive as all fuck, but as I said, I love that in a person.
Listen…it’s the TOP FOUR that might be going to Oprah. Allegedly. From where I sit, (Western NC with an 18-year-old cat snoring right next to me), there is no way in hell they can’t pick our Bits at this point. I would refer you back to MazeDancer’s very astute posts of earlier today.I think s/he nailed it beautifully.l
MikeJ: We need a screen cap from you at midnight PST.
I think we’re fine. I think we’re there. It doesn’t really matter which Pom, if either, overtakes Bitsy at this point.
Of course, I am occasionally wrong. No matter. Like I said weeks ago when BJ dove into this contest head first… you never know who is reading what you write online, and who might step forward to help in ways you could never imagine. It’d be fab for Bitsy to get into the final four and on the “O” show, (allegedly). But even if not, who knows what will come of all of this effort, energy and commitment in terms of help and resources coming Evelyn’s way to help the critters of Western NC?
Life is bizarre and wacky. Anything can happen. And usually does.

Just got back from a wonderful day in the Sipsey Wilderness here in north Alabama. It truly is the Enchanted Forest. But when we returned to our car at the trailhead, it wouldn’t start. Luckily we caught a ride out with some other hikers, but our car is now stuck 70 miles from our house, 10 miles down a Forest Service road, at one of the most remote places I know of.
Tomorrow I’ll have to take off of work and drive back over there, armed with cash and credit cards, and deal with it.

I can’t tell Ash Can, I have no TV.
Why are the Northwest Airlines pilots who fell asleep and then landed safely (Minneapolis), bad guys, but why are the female pilot who crashed (New York), and female train engineers (Boston, Washington DC) who smashed, killing dozens just this year not mentioned?
This is because people are scared to fire Joe Morgan for being such a crappy sports broadcaster. This is Artificial Law.
Behold the power of the Internet, and the truth it offers. There is a formerly popular website named: Fire Joe Morgan. There were forty million posts on Fire Joe Morgan.
Now consider Plato’s four understandings:
First, there is certainty.
Second, mathematics gives us the power of perception.
Third, though the physical applications of mathematics may change, the thoughts themselves are eternal and are in another realm of existence.
And fourth, mathematics is thought and, therefore, it is eternal and can be known by all.

@Brick Oven Bill: Methinks someone needs some more time in the sin bin to sort out their misogyny issues.

Some selections from the cutest dog blog to spur you on:
Contest people – Hopefully you will be doing some adjusting of these new votes based on considerations such as which dog is getting votes from an online community (that could care less if the dog is cute).
Abbey, this is where the rubber hits the road. How would you feel if you had one of the 11 other dogs and lost out to Little Bisty in a CUTE DOG competition? What is the point of pretending? I know one blogger who shall remain anonymous but who plans to vote for a non-Blog Dog. Follow your heart. We are not a flock of sheep here.

Re: Providing us Plato’s ‘Power of Perception’ and the importance of Mathematics.
Balloon Juice, an excellent and popular web-site that was Number One in something a couple of years ago, apparently has 22 million, 6 hundred thousand PAGE VIEWS.
Fire Joe Morgan reportedly has 40 million POSTS, or so they say. They probably mean page views. This, in any case, is why Obama wants to regulate the Internet.
See Fire Joe Morgan.
I did not vote for Glenn the Dog today as he apparently no longer exists. This makes me sad.

@Comrade Darkness: FWIW, you were the one that suggested when Bitsy lost week 6 (I think that’s when we first jumped in?) that the momentum would only grow. For some bizarre reason, I thought she’d never be stronger than she was initially.
In other words, you were 100 % right, and I sucked. And I kept thinking about your words for all those weeks following, and you continued to be right. And you are still right.
So thanks for that.

@Laura W: At the end there, something odd happened. When Rufus and Bitsy poured on the votes early in the week, the other dogs’ supporters must have slacked off, for the most part. So for the other dogs in last week’s top 30, the numbers went down quite a bit.

No problem – I had seen the comment earlier in the competition blog.
Not terribly upsetting … they have written much worse I assure you!

John, are you talking about how Kathleen Turner hasn’t aged well or what? She was quite the thing in the mid-80s (Romancing the Stone, Peggy Sue Got Married) and now she is often unrecognizable.

@Comrade Darkness: Well, I think in many cases they came to their human senses and realized they were not going to win it with their “I wanna get to 200 vanity votes for my dog” strategy and started to choose sides and rally behind the front runners. Most of them started to come out for Bitsy, and asked their supports to switch allegiance. Mafia Wars and such.
Total props for all that goes to Sylvia for working the Dog Blog on a daily basis for weeks so graciously and diplomatically. Those people are just nuts. I mean, we’re nuts here, but a different kind of nuts that is sometimes tolerable. Mostly because we swear a lot over here. I think a high degree of potty mouth correlates to a high degree of sanity.

Very, very generous, but at this point it’s just a mental exercise for me since it’s an ancient inkjet. But I’ve learned that:
in the intervening six years, a laser copier would now be my choice; I’ve power cycled and used a different USB cable and plugged in directly to the computer; re-installed in the correct order and with the CD; updated software; learned that even CD uninstall can leave problems in registry (not going there); been to mfg.’s website which now has an online tool for diagnosis; check MS update articles; avoid all-in-ones; etc.
I ONLY mention those things as search terms, not wild goose chases, for people with printer problems / choices.

I facebook’d it. I could have blogged it I suppose. I’m on one of those planets that have a lot of viewers.

@Yutsano: Alice in Wonderland. I know. I cannot wait. That made me lust in my heart, but I need a laugh.

Goddam, Poms. 500 votes ahead? Are you kidding me?? This is all BoB’s fault.

@4jkb4ia: Now that is funny.
@Cain: It’s the Pom Mafia threatening to kneecap anyone who did not vote for the Pom.

@asiangrrlMN:
What was funny? The Giants played a bad game, the Yankees winning is simply evil, and the Pitt reference is just annoying.

@4jkb4ia: Sorry. The fact that your hubby saw Tony LaRussa in the crowd at the Springsteen concert. That tickled me for some reason.

@Existenz: Jessica Rabbit was a total gateway meme. There’s this half-clever movie where animated characters interact with humans via ingenious practical effects, not bad if you’re young and stoned, and suddenly Kathleen Turner in full 1-900-SPANK-IT mode starts doing voiceovers lip-synched to a transvestite rabbit. For over an hour.
Half a generation goes by, and otherwise well-adjusted adults harbor secret fantasies of fucking cartoons or video game characters, only how much of a secret is it, really? I mean, Final Fantasy? Barbie’s Super Fashion Dream Show? Anything from Japan that involves click-dragging an outfit onto a fifteen-year-old schoolgirl one article of clothing at a time? Sick.
N.B. I do not want to hump polygons and I think roricon is a kind of Asian brain flu that should be cured with 10ga shotguns. If Jennifer Hale wants to call me up and discuss the special Jedi bond between us, well, that’s entirely different. Not even the same thing AT ALL. fap fap fap fap

Cain, my friend, Denial is a Type II psychological disorder. Commissioner James Gorden reigns. This dog sound kind of like English Aristocracy, and pisses me off a little bit. The Dog, formerly known as Glenn the Dog, is down by only 561 votes.
This dog used to be winning.
Together, to Victory!
I will check back in the morning.

I love the venture bros. And if we’re to have a nerd-off, it must be done proper.

it, like me, seems to be obscure, brilliant, yet inexplicable and destined for an exclusively niche audience.

I relate to everything — it’s my lone superpower.
Yutsano
@RedKitten: Do you have any Quebecois blood? If so odds are we’re some type of extremely distant cousins. For example the Dionne quintuplets are distant cousins of mine.
RedKitten
@Yutsano: Surprisingly, no (AFAIK). From what I’ve researched thus far, all of my ancestors were Acadian, and before that, French (and evidently, a direct lineage from Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine). There’s the odd bit of Irish and Italian thrown into the mix. None of my known ancestors were Quebecois, though. It’s still possible that the distant relation is still there, as the Acadians and the Quebecois DID both hail originally from France.

@sylvia:
This is weird.
I voted on Sunday. Then I just went over there at 12:45 PST and was able to vote AGAIN.
Somehow it’s still going on. Maybe a glitch?
Anyhoo, Little Lord Fuzzywuzzy is still like 750 votes ahead.

Don’t know if you’ll see this as I am so late to this thread, but best wishes to your mom. Two of my co-workers had MRSA earlier this year. Different hospitals, very different original admissions, different times of year, but still. Both of them are fine now, but it’s scary and no fun in the moment. Healing thoughts to your mother.
Violet
So what’s up with Bitsy? I just voted again. She’s still second by a lot.

@RedKitten: Might I be so presumptuous as to suggest that you consider “Acadian Driftwood” as a possible lullaby for ‘Son of RedKitten’. I’ve sang it to my grandchildren and so far as I know, we don’t have a speck of Acadian blood. More’s the pity. Sadly, I don’t know how to link to it, but you should have no problem finding a suitable Levon Helm (The Band) version on Youtube. One of most beautiful songs I’ve ever had the pleasure to have heard or play. Just a thought.
Montysano
@2th&nayle:
Indeed it is. Truly the Enchanted Forest.
Svensker
@2th&nayle:
Yes. One of the prettiest songs, ever, with wonderful longing. Robbie and the boys did good on that one.
2th&nayle
@Montysano: Not the best of places to have a vehicle decide to go dead in the water. Good thing you managed to hitch a ride. That could have turned into quite a step. Good luck getting her back in commission!
2th&nayle
@Svensker: You said it! Fell in love with the song the very first time I ever heard it. Got to see The Band down in Dallas in the early 80’s. When they played ‘Acadian Driftwood’ I damn near broke down and cried. Good times!

Fuck the Yankees.
That is all.
