Backsliding into the flames of hell
May 25, 2004

I was listening to Good Morning America on the radio this morning (their web site really stinks, by the way) and heard some actress talking about this movie, which doesn’t seem at first glance like something that I might like, but I have to admit that I found the clip that they played pretty amusing.

Here is a page of trailers for Saved!. If you are going to watch the trailer, I urge you to watch the whole thing. The beginning start slow, but there are clips of a couple of scenes that make it all seem interesting.

Slashdot?
May 25, 2004

I was about to leave for school this evening when Pat IMed me to tell me that I had made the home page of Slashdot. How exciting! Apparently, someone had taken notice of my blog software comparison chart and posted a link. That’s so cool!

I also made DayPop last week, which was my own personal milestone for “making it big”. Now if I made it onto the MetaFilter and Something Positive homepages, that would round out the list of web sites that I read habitually.

Idiot Millionaire Screenings
May 24, 2004

I like to eat lunch on weekdays so that I can be in the car between 12:30 and 1:30 when Who Wants to Be a Millionaire is on. Today, a contestant was so stupid, it left me wondering whether they screen these people at all.

It was only the first question. Everyone knows that the fourth answer (d) to the first question is incorrect. So why did this girl spend so much time deliberating about whether the correct answer to the question “What do people commonly say when there is a morsel of food left that they wish to claim?” was “Hey, gimme that!”?
