special Dharma initiative version of season 5 LOST DVDs

I was able to see this photo thanks to DarkUFO. This product is not yet on the market but apparently was one of many on display at the D23 Expo. Well, whatever, I knew beforehand that when the season 5 LOST dvd box sets are out that we have to get this one (the Dharama Initiative Orientation Kit) instead of the regular plain one. I know I am a nerd and I know this is a post regarding the purchase of a DVD box set, which is pretty fucking lame, but hey... I dig this shit.

more on the weather

While walking the dogs and listening to the local NPR on me trusty mp3 player w/built in FM tuner, the local announcer said the high temps today should only be in the LOW 90s. That's pretty awesome.

the other other me

So, for a while now, I've been thinking it would be cool if I started a second blog in Spanish, because I don't write enough in Spanish ever since the last time I finished school, so... elotrootroyo.blogspot.com is it, although, not surprisingly, there is not much there yet.

I'm not looking forward to this Friday's weather here...

I am a hypocrite and full of shit

Yeah so I figured out how to get twitter to let me back on w/the email address under which I choose to register so I'm back on it, tweeting, on occasion, with the best of 'em.

Those who know me well ought to know by now that the assertion read above in the title of this post is perhaps one of the truest statements to be uttered about me. (It is probably true for most people too, human nature being what it is...)

Anyway, not like I really give a shit or whatever, but I thought it might be a good idea to address this topic simply because a couple posts down or so I was bitching about twitter. I still say that despite whatever twitter is and however much people use it or like it, I really find it absurd when folks on the television are making such a big deal about it. And occasionally annoying.

nothing profound to say

Two weeks ago, a professor from the UGA business school shot his wife and two other victims dead at a community theater in Athens.

Two days ago the police and other investigators working with them found a body which by all signs must be him, although at this moment they are still awaiting the final (forensic) confirmation of his identity.

I do not have much to say. It is just very strange and sad and upsetting. At the same time it is very interesting.

One wish...

One wish I have right now, not my only wish by far, but one wish I have that is very strong is that everyone would just shut the fuck up about Twitter. You can't turn on any media source without them tweeting or talking about it. We get it. Nobody really cares anymore anyway. Shut up.

By the way, I never heard from Twitter about restoring my account under the original user name (associated with the email address I would want to use for a Twitter account) I had chosen. So fuck 'em. As anyone reading this might guess, I am not really interested much in tweeting now or in the foreseeable future anyway.
