An interview with the uptight doctor guy from Firefly (Seah Maher), and apparently, there's still an outside chance that there could be another Firefly movie... Or at least the option to create another one hasn't expired yet...

Happily, the TSA has updated their restrictions on what liquids can be carried on. Contact solution, and solid lipsticks and deoderants can be carried on. Woo! Reading this list is actually pretty entertaining.

In other news, I finally reached TiVo zero for the first time this summer, which makes me very happy. And since I finally got around to watching Project Runway (which I've been recording for probably the past seven months), I actually finally got somewhat hooked on it, so I'm watching pretty much the entire season now since Bravo is running a bunch of marathons. Hopefully I'll be done with the season three backlog by the time the new shows really start.

American Eagle is starting a new chain that will be aimed at the 25-40 year old market. So nicer than AE, but also pricier. It also looks like J.Crew is starting a twenty/thirtysomething brand as well... Is it bad that I'm pretty excited about this?

A positive review for the first Gilmore Girls episode sans the Sherman-Palladinos. Beware of spoilers.

Battlestar Galactica webisodes start today. I hope these will be better than the Office webisodes...

Sweet, you can see sneak peeks of some of the CBS shows, courtesy of TiVo. I'll definitely be watching Smith; I'll have to check some reviews to see if I'm interested in any of the others.

An endorsement for the Wire

The Sports Guy gives a rousing endorsement for the Wire. (number 17 on this list) No, seriously, it's good.

In other news, I finally found the new equivalent for the Blog This button in the Google toolbar - it's the Send to button, which allows you to send to Blogger. Took me quite a while to figure it out, there's no help documentation on it, and boy, was I angry.

And lastly, the tomcat has become a total Gilmore Girls junkie. I think he watched four episodes last night. Max just broke with Lorelei. Of course, I was sitting on the couch playing the DS Lite, while bawling because I'm the biggest sucker for Gilmore Girls... Sigh.

And I have friends who have HBO so I'm starting to test the waters to see if they will be my HBO hookup so I can watch the new season of the Wire which starts shortly! We'll see if I'm successful. I might end up breaking into their house in the middle of the night just to watch! That's how addicted I am to the Wire.

Le Job

There is going to be a Canadian version of the Office, which will of course be in French. Heh.

Watch some of the CW shows online before their premiere. If I have time, I'll watch Veronica Mars and Runaway early.

Celebrity Duets

Gecko, the tomcat and I watched Celebrity Duets last night and it was both entertaining and completely a train wreck. Lots of plastic surgery going on with the older folks. Little Richard is completely (and I do mean completely) incoherent in his reviews - we started fast-forwarding whenever he talks. Jai, the Queer Eye guy, is good. Carly Patterson, Olympic gymnast, not so good. Lea Thompson, pretty good. And there were some great musical guests, including Smokey Robinson (woo!), Peter Frampton and Gladys Knight. It was pretty funny, although if it doesn't improve, it might get dropped in favor of more exciting fall fare.

Fun with Flickr

You can now geo-tag your photos. Hmm, this could be very fun! And since it's almost September 1st, I'll have a bunch of projects to do with my photos...

See what celebrities are watching on TV; interestingly, Joey Pantoliano likes Gilmore Girls. Actually, the tomcat has only recently seen the light about GG and has started tearing through the first season DVDs which he borrowed from a friend.

And TiVo helps you track when new shows are starting...

Another columnist's reviews of what shows are worthwhile and which you should avoid.

Ongoing rumors that this season of Scrubs will be the last. It seems like Zach Braff may want to move on.

Wedding Crasher reality show

This is playing with fire: a reality show about improv actors crashing weddings. Seriously, no one should mess with a bride.

Also as a side note, I upgraded to the new google toolbar, and now I don't have the Blog This! button. I'm seriously pissed. I wonder if I can revert to the old toolbar. I guess I'll have to investigate that.
