Third season of Lost begins at 9 tonight. What happened when Desmond Hume turned that key? Why does the love of Desmond's life care about the "the electromagnetic anomaly"? What's so special about Jack, Kate, and Sawyer to the Others? Who are the Others? Important questions, all.
saw some odd numbers on my fresh direct invoice this morning. called in to complain but they assured me the numbers were high due to some credit card authorization bs. so i waited and waited. my delivery came 45 minutes late and 2 pounds heavy, or light actually.

the weight on the aspargus said 2.48lbs. i had ordered 1lb. i got 1lb but was charged for 2.48. i had a similar problem with the onions in my order. fortunately, like every good cook, i have a scale handy. fuckers reimbursed me but i should have made more of a stink and got some freebies.
Okay, sure, the Guinness really is superior here in Ireland. But I have to admit I've shifted my attention a bit more to the whiskey. The bar at the Brooks Hotel has, they argue, the best selection in all of Ireland. Despite my efforts it wasn't possible to sample them all, but I took quite a liking to the Green Spot. I've never seen it in NYC, but I usually don't drink whiskey there, so maybe it's not a find. Still I might bring back a bottle just in case. Smooth.
LONDON (Reuters) - Imagine being able to check instantly whether or not statements made by politicians were correct. That is the sort of service Google Inc. boss Eric Schmidt believes the Internet will offer within five years.

Politicians have yet to appreciate the impact of the online world, which will also affect the outcome of elections, Schmidt said in an interview with the Financial Times published on Wednesday.

He predicted that "truth predictor" software would, within five years, "hold politicians to account." People would be able to use programs to check seemingly factual statements against historical data to see to see if they were correct.

the only thing surprising about this is that...well, its being reported. abramoff discusses invasion of iraq with rove one year before we invade. funny thing is it only makes me more mad at the democrats for being such pathetic enablers. im glad to see they havent lost their touch.
not iraq, vietnam.
