Seriously, how did such losers, unattractive losers at that, get on TV?

Last night I saw a trailer for some movie and one of the “its great” quotes was from Larry King. Wtf does anyone think his opinion would make anyone go see a movie? The fact that they had to resort to someone like him to endorse the film pretty much comes right out and says the movie blows.

I hate Larry King.

One birthday present I know I am getting today – my PS3, at least according to the UPS tracking website. Of course I am not at home to see it until Friday night but it should be waiting for me when I get there. I am torn between keeping it or selling it on to a friend. It would be cool to have one but, not being home much, it is an expensive toy for something that I wouldn’t get to play with very often. I’ll probably at least set it up to see it in its full high def glory, playing Resistance on a 51″ LCD will definitely beat playing it here in the office on the piece of s*$t TV I have it attached to.

And for those of you who wish to add me to their buddy list, my handle is aPetulantMarmot. See you on the killing fields.

Had you bet me I’d be writing this a few years ago you would have won a lot of money….. today I became an Uncle and my Dad a Grandfather. This morning around 9am British time, my sister delivered a baby boy weighing 8lbs 8oz. As is the custom, both baby and mother are doing fine. I’ve heard no official word of a name yet but when we were back in England it sounded like it was going to be James if it was a boy.

Its not without some sadness – my mum always wanted a grandkid and she is not here to see him – but its exciting news and I’m pleased for them. Fun times ahead for them, I am sure.

Having been at the mercy of the fabulous airport security people over the last couple of weeks I thought this cartoon summed the situation up rather nicely.

You know things are getting desperate when you have to put nekkid chicks in your ebay auction in order to sell your item. And isn’t the PS3 sexy enough??

Since I installed the latest version of Firefox on my Mac Mini this weekend I am having to force quit it every 15 minutes or so, just freezes up for no good reason. A little investigation of the forums suggested it was related to the anti-phishing feature so I disabled that but it already froze again. Maybe this is the time to switch to Safari or Opera?

In other news, I see that the ebay auction prices for PS3 and Wii are coming down. Most of the PS3 auctions were in the $900-$1400 range which is still a tidy profit but not the crazyness we saw on launch day.

Thanks to some luck and some hard work I was today able to purchase two of this season’s hard-to-buy items: I ordered my PS3 system to arrive sometime before Christmas, and I finally managed to get my hands on a couple of TMX Elmos. All I need now is a Wii and I will be quite the ‘lucky’ person. I bundled the PS3 with a couple of games and a second controller. Looks like most everyone on the local craigslist wants $2500+ for standing out in the cold last night, I really can’t believe people are willing to pay that much, but I suppose someone is.
