RTBTCKI (The Cats are Glad to See Us Edition)

The Home Run Derby makes a lot more sense when you know the rules to the game. And how about Josh Hamilton? Boy, when he gets into a groove there is no stopping him. I think it was more about his pitcher's arm getting tired rather than his hitting. That will be a mark that will stand the test of time for a while.

Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog has its first webisode up and running. I really enjoyed it. It made me smile and it make me laugh. I am looking forward to the next two installments. I recommend that if you are a Whedon fan, a Neil Patrick Harris fan or a Nathan Fillion fan, you must check this out. Even if you don't fit in the above category, it is still a lot of fun for those of us who like good 50s style action hero TV with a serious twist.

I understand what the New Yorker was trying to do with the cover, but I think they needed to think it a little further through. Peter's idea was to have a conservative radio host (pick your favorite or least favorite) at the mic and that cover in the thought or word balloon so that there is the element of where this sort of thing is coming from. I have to agree that image would have brought the point home without making yet another headline that can be misinterpreted and just lead to more people believing that Obama is a Muslim (which he isn't).

Today is about putting things away from the convention. Getting the house back to normal. Ariel is dealing with sinus issues that I don't think are allergies. Caroline is off with Peter running some errands. So I have a window here to get stuff done uninterrupted which I am going to do now.

I am grateful for getting home in a decent amount of time yesterday.

I can't watch the Dr. Horrible thing until I get home, but I <3 Nathan Fillion (and Joss and NPH) and am looking forward to it!

Will you and Peter be at Dragon*Con in Atlanta? Knight and I are going to be there, and I'd love to meet up with you if you'll be around!

I will be there Thursday evening through Monday afternoon.

Awesome! We're actually staying at the convention hotel for a change, so hopefully I'll see you there. :)

For the NYer cover, I thought they could have titled it "The End of the World as We know it" so it was obviously seen as a satire. Or have put McCain in the corner saying "That's why you should vote for me"

I don't think it is the title as much as the title isn't on the cartoon so it is open to interpretation that is rather negative.

I do agree having McCain in the corner would solve the problem.
