Hello all...Hellboy rocked. See the review on the main page. Ron Perlman is perfect for the part of Hellboy. We really enjoyed ourselves and took home some caramel corn to enjoy for several more days! Yummy stuff. I've been trying to find spoiler info for the new X-Files movie, they're doing a great job of keeping that under wraps! [LA Times]
Added new photos to the Picasa page under July 2008 from this past weekend. Finished bathroom tile job last night with lots of help from Poppa Taylor (read: he did most of it). Should have pictures up of that project soon.
Sorry to see that Brenda's Starbucks in Bluffton was one of the first 50 they're closing down. Should be shuttered by the end of July with another 550 closings to follow. Depending on where you're currently located, here's a list of the first 50 closed stores. [Chicago Tribune]
The King of Beers is no longer American owned. InBev's offer was accepted and now they become Anheuser-Busch InBev. It's a Belgian company owned primarily by Brazilians, who knew? [LA Times]
The final table is set for the World Series of Poker. Now these 9 are going to wait for 4 months for the televised part to play out so they'll go live for the big prize. At least a 'taped' live. [Dallas Morning News]
The office refrigerator...quite an interesting place. Anyone see the House, MD episode where he keeps the food he steals from the office fridge in the morgue? It was quite funny. [Chicago Tribune]
Ah the state of the economy makes jobs like this lucrative: repo man. [Miami Herald]
The Olympics are right around the corner. Good article on how China's participation (for the first time in the Olympics) helped make the 1984 Summer Games in Los Angeles such a success. This was the payback boycott from the Soviets for the US boycott of the 1980 Games. The 1980's politics and the Olympics! [LA Times & Wikipedia]
Karoshi, Japanese for working yourself to death. Just doesn't seem worth it. [Washington Post]
Jimson weed, not good in soup! [Washington Post]
Ebay continues to change the way they do business, in the process angering the people that made it what it is. [NY Times]
