Now that I finally have DirecTV installed, there's only one more piece left in my home theater puzzle. A HDMI switching reciever. The old Yammy has been good to me, but she just can't handle HD video switching. Anyone looking to buy a cheap, ten year old A/V receiver? Perfect for the kids!
How fucking awesome was the Lost finale last night?

Food and Drink
- Need a project for the upcoming long weekend? How about whipping up a batch of DIY Cola. Note that one of the ingredients is raw caffine. Where in the world can you obtain that? Legally.
- Japan is known for foodstuffs that might seem a bit... odd to the uninitiated. Water Salad anyone? (Note that Water Salad is a registered trademark of the Coca-Cola Company). What other soda awsomeness does Japan have up it's kimono? Fucking Pepsi Ice Cucumber. I must have it.
- McDonalds items from around the world. That ground pork teriyaki thing from Japan sounds pretty damn tasty. (Obligatory Royale With Cheese clip)
Nerd Stuff
Other Stuff
- Studio 60 returns tonight to burn off its remaning six episodes
- Speaking of canceled, it looks like it might be curtains for GM's rebodied Tahoe...errr.... Hummer H2
- I didn't watch it, but by all accounts this season of 24 was pretty stupid. No matter how bad it was, nothing will ever top Kim and the Cougar: 24's most ludicrous moments
