News You Can Bruise for 2003 May 7

Wed May 07 2003 08:59 Cornbread!: It's well known that cornbread is the greatest thing ever. But exactly what makes it so great has eluded mankind for ages. Now, I believe I have the answer: it's corn, but it's also bread. I'm not sure why this trivial answer has eluded mankind for ages, but that's mankind for you.

Wed May 07 2003 09:53: More Salam Pax. "Some idiots started firing their Kalashnikovs and guns and made my paranoid aunt totally believe that the American troops are in the street."

Wed May 07 2003 23:04 Tonight's Episodes: Tonight's Enterprise should have been called "Continuity Must Die!". And West Wing I didn't care about much. There's only so many times they can play the "this time, it's one of their own" card before it gets old. It's always one of their own. I wouldn't be one of their own if you paid me.

Wed May 07 2003 23:11: From Russia, that land of enchantmentinfringement, comes Screenplays For You, a site with... a bunch of movie screenplays. No longer need you do a Google search on a remembered phrase to find a copy of a screenplay. Includes "From Dusk Til Down" [imdb: typo], and a new Charlie Kaufman project called Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, which sounds like the title of a North Korean propaganda flick.

Update: Josh sent me a screenplay site in the good old U.S. of A.

Wed May 07 2003 23:18 One Last Thing Before I Quit: The Eater is at 1.3. Includes caching; better knowledge about what should be proxied; and three new eaters, including the obsessive-compulsive sort-the-letters-in-each-word eater, and a spooky new get-rid-of-all-content eater. I think I'm done with this for a while.
