- Love to see the fact that Lost is actually coming back earlier than expected. It now has a late January premier instead of a February. My two favorite lost bloggers finally made post after a long hiatus.
- Rumors are circulating that McDonald’s is going to get rid of the double cheeseburger. Read this blog post for more info. Mike Hoff should like the McDouble since he hates cheese. I am confused about the price comment. When is the double cheeseburger less than $.99? It rarely is at $.99. It is one of my favorite burgers. It is good and cheap.
- I really like the Google Flu trends website. I am glad to see that they are doing something productive with their keyword search data. I also found it interesting that St Louis was #4 on sun burn searches. I am one of those people so I wonder why. Do St Louisians travel more to tropical places or is it the fact that we have cold winters and hot summers which do not prepare people for that first couple months of high UV? It also could be our love affair with the water (i.e. lakes and rivers).
- What is up with True Blood? Is it a show about all freaks? Its turning out to be a very Carnivale like show. It also seems to introduce more questions than it answers. I am glad that they finally made at least a reference to the fact that there is a certain procedure to turn someone into a vampire besides just biting them. I only wish they would have gone into more details because it just looked like a bite to me in the last episode.
- Should I buy Gears of War 2 this weekend? I have some Best Buy gift cards burning a hole in my pocket.
- I am loving the idea that I do not have to run my heat in my building. I didn’t last year but I didn’t move into early March so I wasn’t sure. The place stays at 72 without any heat. I do think I need to get some kind of air purifier since I have no circulation of air in my house. Do these things actually work? The reviews on websites make them sound great but they do not get very good consumer reports.
- Why are there not many NBA games on tv this year? I would have really like to see the Dallad – Lakers game last night. It seemed like TNT or ESPN had games on almost every night last year. Did they all switch to NBA tv?
