Here are some titles over at Santastic. My disclaimer: I haven’t listened to any of these but I found the titles amusing.

Update: James gives these a thumbs down.

Dinner date with a woman without children December 8, 2006 9:28 am

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Cathy, Christmas, Daily Life, Family , 1 comment so far

Woohoo! Cathy and I have a date tonight! The grandparents are watching all the children. So what are our plans? Christmas shopping! (after using the gift certificate to P.F. Chang’s that I got for my birthday of course)

Update: I also thought that no restaurant in Knoxville took reservations. P.F. Chang’s will actually take reservations up to a month in advance! The wait was way too long so our evening started with dropping Sarah off for her Church party, shopping, snuck in a dinner at Mimi’s Cafe, more shopping, picking up Sarah, and returning home. It was a fantastic evening.

As I drove Sarah to school this morning, I did my morning torture and forced her to listen to NPR. Once again, we found ourselves stunned to hear the announcement of school closings. Sarah contained her excitement and disappointment but I still say she sat up straight in her seat at the prospect. I guess we live in the wrong county.

Can’t stop the signal! December 8, 2006 8:40 am

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Announcements, Firefly / Serenity, Of Interest, TV / Movies , 1 comment so far

Joss Whedon said Firefly is no more and we have seen all kinds of drama and hype yet the fan base shows no sign of slowing. Fans have even created their own documentary. How will the series continue on? Look for an announcement today that Firefly will be turned into a MMORPG. Move over World of Warcraft! We have Reavers to fight and smuggling to do!

Multiverse, maker of a free MMO-creation platform, plans to announce Friday morning that it’s struck a deal with Fox Licensing to turn the show into an MMORPG in the fashion of Star Wars Galaxies or Eve Online. [Source]

Dad: "Did they mention anything at your school about yesterday being Pearl Harbor day?"
Sarah, 13: "They mentioned it."
