That's one way to describe them.

For those curious about the "other Seth" who was on that dating show last night, apparently he managed to get the Daily News to carry a column he wrote.

Also, I just picked up the TMo digital picture frame - the Cameo. The screen is a little small but the ability to email photos to it is pretty cool.

I think we paid $30 for a cup at a cafe in Jakarta. We probably could have found it cheaper elsewhere, but the cafe at which we sampled it was the only place we had seen that had the civet poo coffee available, so we decided to seize the opportunity.

Oh I did not expand, the smell was not bad, it was not poo smelling, it just smelled incredibly strong and.....bitter? I mean it just smelled like it would be too bitter to stand.

Does anyone else think that Jimmy Fallon is just AWFUL? ... I thought Late Night was supposed to be funny. At least it was when Conan hosted the show.

People seemed to have forgotten that Conan was really, really, really, bad when he started the show. It took him a few seasons to finally get it down. I figure it's fair to give Fallon a similar amount of time to get it right. :-:

I can add to that by 5 minutes.

That must have been on the "direct-to-airline" distribution model - I never even heard of that one.

I never liked Conan. Ever. I have not watched one minute of the non-Jay show. It should have come as a surprise to virtually no one that it took only three weeks for Conan to destroy the ratings edge that Jay had enjoyed over Dave...you know, the ratings lead that began way back when with Jay asking Hugh Grant "What the hell were you thinking?"

I need a laugh today. Although I don't have access, would someone ask Alex a series of questions "relevant" to the Box - " what are your feelings about the hublet", "why does CO fly so many E145s", "do you like the Q400's", etc. and post the responses.
