the current fetish lately is definitely double dave's pizza, or as kathryn so incorrectly referred to it, big dave's. we were there yet again tonight trying to land a rare slice of buffalo chicken, but it wasn't meant to be.

ended up seeing million dollar baby tonight, despite knowing nothing about it. i won't go all into it, i'll just say i give it a 7.5 out of 10. powerful stuff, but eh, kinda cliche-ridden a bit. worth the price of admission though, especially if you sucker somebody else in your group to pay for it and then don't pay them back.

don't have too much else to update on, so i guess i'll just throw in some random shit here, heh.

it's kinda cool that hdnet's providing some live HD coverage of baghdad during the elections there, i guess just in case shit goes down.

not sure if i'd actually use it myself, but i think it's cool that mobile carriers (cingular, for example) are launching mobile tv services. alayna and i were strolling through barnes & noble today, to kill time while i downed my caramel frap and she enjoyed her java chip, when i realized that $10 a month for that kinda service would basically be the same as buying two magazines a month. so for people that travel and need entertainment in airports and shit, i think the mobile tv idea is actually pretty worthwhile. oh, and if i had to get a new phone right now for it, i think i'd go with those new black RAZRs.

finally it was amazon that ended up doing what i'd dreamed of for years by releasing photo-based yellow pages, where you can virtually drive down a street by looking at sequential images. very cool. it's also sweet that google's launched a beta video search service that will actually scan closed-caption tv logs to find occurrences of text in tv news shows. fun to play around with for now at least.

thought it was kinda cool that a guy in the LA train wreck thought he was about to die, so wrote messages to his family in his own blood on the wreckage in case he could never talk to them again. luckily he ended up being saved...

i have no link for this one, but can i just request some kind of ban on talking about paris hilton for any reason? i really don't understand how she's somehow the topic of every 3rd american media news story now. just go away already.

consider yourself caught up.
