killerik - Why the hell not?

IGN.com has put up a list of the "Top 50 Lost Loose Ends". It's a good article, but also really frustrating. It made me realize just how many little plot-lines need to be tied up still and makes me wonder how many of them will actually get answered before the end of the series.

I know that this is two posts dealing with Lost in the past week, but I'm really hurting for some Lost. I think that I might put up a countdown clock and just stare at it in my free time.

At least I have Heroes to keep me company for one more episode. Then it goes on vacation, too, until the new year. Damn you TV. You provide me with a drug, then force me into withdrawals. I'll always come back to you, though.

After a day and a half of trying to configure my cell phone's internet settings I'm finally able to use Opera Mini 3. I have to say, it's a hell of a lot better than my default cell web browser. I'm actually able to go to just about any site and view it. Before I would end up with 413 error messages constantly.

I don't know why it was such a bitch to get running through my Cingular service, but I finally found the solution staring me right where I should have seen it the whole time...on Cingular's website. Sometimes I tend to make things way too difficult for myself.

If you want to see what Opera Mini looks like after you get it to install, check out this super hi-res screenshot. Bonus: It's in German.

If you wish to install this on your phone(Java enabled phones only), just click on the picture to the right and enter in the information needed. You'll get an SMS sent to your phone with the download link. If you need help setting it up, don't look at me, I'm somewhat useless.

Just a quick post to alert the Lost fans out there that there is an article in the Dec. 1st issue of Entertainment Weekly(Gwen Stefani on the cover). The article features Executive producers Carlton Cuse, Damon Lindelof, and J.J. Abram. Also included is a huge Lost fan, writer Stephen King. It's a pretty interesting article. So, check it out to help ease the drought of Lost until February.

Bonus: It's the "Inspirations Issue". You get to learn about all of the actors, writers, musicians, directors that have influenced your favorite celebrities. YAY! Or not.

Hope that everyone has a great day today, and that you are able to spend it with your families.

I'm thankful for the fact that I don't have to work today. Also, I'm thankful for the four people that visit my site.

Enjoy this classic Thanksgiving performance:

First off, who knew that everyone's favorite "wacky"/"eccentric" neighbor was a closet racist? Not me, but everyone at the Laugh Factory found out first hand.

WARNING: The content in this video may be offensive and also even more damaging than the "Seinfeld Curse".

Please remember that this is Michael Richards of Seinfeld, not Keith Richards of the living dead fame.

Did you know how expensive batteries are before the tremendous discounts that stores give you? Try over $700,000. Found this over at Digg.

I've captured a screenshot, in the event that Amazon changes the price.

And last, but not a cliché...

I've recently found a pretty sweet band. They're called "Elizabeth and the Catapult". I bought their EP and was impressed by what I heard. If you like women that play the piano and some clever wordplay in your lyrics, check them out. It's a little Fiona Appleish, but I'd say a little less dark. You can go to their website and listen to some of their tracks. I purchased the EP through iTunes because that was the only place that I could find it in stock. I burnt a CD from it and it hasn't left my car's player yet.

Just a quick video that I uploaded. For some reason, watching animated plush toys go at it with each other makes my day. I own the plushporn.com domain(Look for me on the cover of Time next year), and at some point it'll be a full-fledged site with all of the plush-porn you can possibly want(just for humor; none of that "furry" stuff).

That penguin seems really into it. Not so sure about the dog.

I wonder if this ups the 1% of the web that is porn?

Time for some more strange products, which I've found and taken pictures of.

First off is something that every girl-about-town needs, a refillable pregnancy test. Why waste all of your hard earned cash(after pimp-tax) on one pregnancy test, after another? Just buy the reusable stick and save your cash for the alcohol you'll need to forget all about who you've just had unprotected sex with(if you need this product, you probably have trouble remembering their names in the first place).

"God, just grant me this one prayer for the 247th last time."

I'm sorry to anyone that may need to buy this because they're trying to conceive and buying test can get a bit expensive. Your situation is just not as funny.

Ever lose your remote control? I'm sure that you have.

Fret no longer. There is no way that you could misplace this remote. The picture may not give you a sense of scale, but I estimate that this monster is about 14 inches tall by about 6 inches wide.

"Where's Johnny? Check under the remote."

Personally, I think that this is a good idea. Well, until you give one to your grandfather and he goes delusional. You really don't want to give confused people heavy artillery, such as this. He'll probably bash his nurse in the head and make a run for it. When that happens, at least you'll be able to take comfort in the fact that he has his jumbo remote as a companion.

My last item isn't really odd. It's actually quite normal. It's a digital picture machine putting out that familiar "Blue Screen of Death" that has plagued many a computer user.

"Your pictures have caused a fatal boredom error."

I love this video. Wait till the end to see the best thing I've seen on YouTube/the web in awhile.

Now that K-Douche is no longer "all up in" Britney Spears, maybe she'll get her act together and be hot again. She was looking pretty good the other night on Letterman, but she wasn't back to the glory days of the early 2000s. Check her out over at IDontLikeYouInThatWay.com

The Dems are in control of both houses and Britney Spears is maybe hot again. This is like bizarro world.

In case you live in a very secluded area, and haven't gotten any news in the past year, you probably alreay know that tomorrow is election day here in the US.

So, go vote. Or not. It's a free country.

I'll be glad when this election cycle is over. I'm sick of seeing signs, posters, commercials, and stacks upon stacks of mail for every politician and initiative under the sun. I seriously get around 5-15 pieces of election mail every single day. It's probably because I'm living in one of the bigger battleground districts(this time around) for the senate. Usually the election results in Rhode Island are meaningless, but based on my mailbox(then immediately after, the trash) they're pushing really hard from all sides.

Well, I hope that your favorite candidates pull off a victory, and that we all don't die from terrorist attacks if the democrats pull off a big win(sarcasm).

I'm scared!

Predictions based on polls.

Update: I've voted. Now it's time to sit back and wait for the results to pour in(in about 13 hours).
