I’m trying to get the new Radiohead album but I can’t for the life of me understand WTF I am looking at as I navigate their site. This dude complains a bit, but is very right about that site.
The more I wait. The more I want to put a negative number in that box so that Radiohead pays me for downloading their album.
It’s just like one of their albums. Inscrutable and arty for the sake of it. Please, someone, show me that Yorke guy so I can kick him in the nads.

2:00 Dulles
Waiting. Around early to beat the rush, but way too early that we’re sitting around. There’s not even an Iberia counter open.3:15 Eating @ Nelson’s Food and Spirits
Why? I got the blue cheeseburger and Walt got fish and chips. Again, why?8:20 Somewhere over the Atlantic
Beef or chicken? Beef. I should ask this girl sitting next to me for some help w/Spanish. Only six more hours to go. There goes the lights.
We left from Dulles International on a Thursday, because it was the only airport close with a direct flight to Madrid. Taking off from BWI would’ve meant a stop at JFK. We should’ve done Iceland Air: Baltimore, Reykyavik, Madrid.
We get there way early and sit and wait. And sit and wait some more.
Before 9/11, it would’ve been cool exploring the airport. Now not so much. Plus, Dulles has those buses which are weird and it’s architectural design which is moderne.
The younger me would’ve loved it. Now not so much.
One travel tip: ordering fish and chips at the airport is a big mistake.
When do we go?

In the early years of this blog, I didn’t know what to post. The best I could do was posting my travel log from the European Cruise I took with CapitolSwell and the Seed.
No body read them at the time.
Since I can’t find the time to think of a post, I am going to post my travel log from this year’s vacation in Spain. I hope it’s not embarrassing or boring. To make it worth your while, I am going to accompany the post with some of the pictures taken while out there.
Should be fun.
After NewsRadio Quote Month, I always take a break. Not because I have nothing to post, but I’m trying to adjust my schedule of work, school and play. It’s quite hard right now to post something fun as you can tell from my abbreviated post on the last movies I had seen in the theatre. I really wanted to do a review, but that would’ve not been done for a while.
I’m in the middle of doing tons of reading for class. I have to get started on a book for the ethics and I have to study for midterms in maintenance and evolution. I’m also struggling with getting a presentation done for maintenance and evolution while trying to watch a movie for ethics. It’s been tough that even my Netflix queue isn’t being serviced.
While searching for links to the previous post, I had come across this bit of greatness. I wanted to use it, but it didn’t fit the tone of that post.
Here it is now.
My favorite episode. My favorite character, evah! One of these days. I plan to watch every episode of The X-Files that I have on DVD and maybe comment on it. One of these days.
Or perhaps October can be The X-Files quote month. Erm. Probably not as it’s already a chore for NewsRadio Quote Month.
Mmmmm, Scully.
Tomorrow marks 50 years since the first day of the space age. Sputnik is launched into space by those damn commies, the Russians. It heralded man emerging as a space faring traveller. We’ve been to the moon. We’ve sent satellites to the outer reaches of the galaxy. Yet, we still haven’t figured out how to love each other on this earth.
For all the good science does, it still reminds us how alien we are to each other.
We need Vulcans!
Need to get at least one last post to close out, NewsRadio Quote month.
I did watch plenty of NewsRadio episodes, especially from the final season. I saw the final episode which had Dave stuck with Matthew at WNYX and the rest of the gang off to New Hampshire with Jimmy James. Oh what adventures a season six would’ve brought. Unfortunately, it ended.
I wonder if they ever jumped the shark. Maybe, but you can’t make up for it when you lose the linchpin that was Bill McNeal. Sad. But life goes on.
NewsRadio. The best comedy of the nineties.
I saw the trailer to this movie before 3:10 to Yuma. I turned to the Seed and said, “I’m conflicted. I really want to see Jessica Alba, but that Dane Cook gets on my nerves.”
And he does.
There’s been some speculation about why the trend in romantic comedies is to make the man a shlub and woman a hot girly-girl. It’s an interesting idea where the girl has to be hot but is reaching for someone low. What world is it that a shmoe like Dan Cook can get a hottie like Jessica Alba? Would it be a spoiler if I told you he wins her heart in the end?
Dan Cook lives a fantasy life where he gets to bed girls who’ll not want to cuddle. He’s the fuck that’ll get the girl to her true love. The girls have to kiss a frog before they find their prince.
Jessica Alba is the one, goofy and cute. She’s enough to make Dane Cook want to hop off the f-train and onto the r-train, a real relationship.
There’s some laugh out loud moments especially with grape fruits. It’s light like a candy bar snack, but it isn’t good for you. You’ll also experience regrets for choosing it. I wanted to watch this movie, because of Jessica Alba. After watching this movie (and Fantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer), I may not be so quick to buy a ticket to her next endeavor. If it’s got Dan Cook in it, I’m confident I won’t.
2 of 5 stars.
PS. Why does it seem as if Dane Cook’s face is composed of 1/3 above his nose, 1/3 below his upper lips and 1/3 of the space between his nose and lips? He’s got to be disproportionated in the face region there.
