I step out of the shower while SharkBoy is digging into his ears with a Q-tip. I daintily close the shower curtain and smile.
“So we don’t have to look at the grime on the floor of the tub?” He asks.
True, our cleaning has been lax this week in a non-air conditioned apartment and the temperature rising well over 29C, but it will get done some time.
“I keep forgetting you were raised in a family with only one other sibling,” I say, with a sigh and a condescending tone that suggest he missed so much without a gaggle of Italian/Irish kids running around a home. “At our house, the parents had 5 kids to target for cleaning chores. The beauty of so many brother (and sister) is that there was always someone else to clean up. Sure Mom and Dad might get you to do some menial cleaning but if you knew how to avoid being in the parent’s chore sights, you could avoid cleaning for months.”
“Didn’t you mention you grew up with a maid?”
“…”
“I won’t be your maid,” SharkBoy says and makes a gun out of his forefinger and thumb. Ska-doosh!
Yes a storm did rip through GTA and a tornado watch was issued for downtown Toronto, but that doesn’t mean you can drag this out over your entire newscast. Some light poles came down and some shingles flew away. Boo hoo. Oh look here’s a crappy hand held phone video of someone swearing *bleeeep* over a lightning strike! News, people!
Oh and a light post fell over. Not sure how. Probably from the force of hype.
Ann Rohmer over on CP24 is about to explode with all the superlatives she’s been vomiting out of her head. Frank Ferragine has got his serious face on and is concerned for the rest of the day. CTV morning crew are sitting on their couch with subdued hushed tones. The Ceeb is talking to someone in London. England.
The Teaser is up. Tomorrow you need to go to Apple to see a bit more. So far, visually stunning, but I’m not sold on the story. Floating islands? Uhm…
Sleazy porn workers take note…
Sid and Marty did so much for kids TV in the 70s and 80s. I can only briefly touch upon a select few topics but don’t forget humdingers like Electra Woman and Dyna Girl and the thought provoking Paul Lynde’s Halloween Special.
I am still quite confused as to why anyone would want an Xbox after reading these two stories from Gizmodo:
Xbox no longer including an HDMI cable in all their Elite configurations. I love the comment from a Microsoft Apologist after the article saying (and you have to say this like a whiny basement dweller): “Most Xboxes are played on standard tvs anyway.” Cue Fail Trombone! It’s a cost saving step backward, wiener.
And
The Red Ring of Death is reported to be as widespread as 50% or higher: Okay this article was based on a web form from one of the big still-using-print gaming magazines, so you know it’s biased and fair. But just like the article writer, I still haven’t met anyone who has not returned one yet. I can’t think of any other product in the history of Capitalism that had such a large fail rate but yet still manage to be more favorable than it’s superior competitor.
Betamax, anyone?
While this post was churning around in my head, Sony suddenly announces their plans to release the PS3 in September under $300US. That’s with a BlueRay player in it, free membership to their community, Avatar upgrades and animated themes. Okay it’s no Twitter/Facebook integration like the Xbox, and we’re still waiting for good movie downloads (with my shiny HDMI cable) and games aren’t as rampantly available as the 360, but come on! It’s got a friggin’ BlueRay player in it!
