when i caught this episode for the first time after my mom passed away, i lost is at the end. and every time i happen to catch it in syndication, which is many times now, 1) i always watch and 2) i always tear up during those credits.

300 mph torrential outpour blues - white stripes
stay loose - belle and sebastian
bad girl - new york dolls
tonight's decision - palace music
wait up - uncle tupelo

yeah - it's overrated. but i do kind of like them in chip form. it's a great snack.

peeps, circus peanuts and necco wafers.

I saw that race too, and it did kinda suck. Sure, he was in the lead, and it didn't seem like the Finnish skier 'aggressively' cut off the German, but it didn't seem legal either…and it also nearly took out the Russian. Then the excessive celebration was really uncalled for. Sure, take out your two closest competitors…

if you really love biathalon - today's race (men's 15K) is unbelievable. try and keep a media blackout and watch later online.

i've been really digging the biathalon too. it's heartbreaking seeing them miss and get the penalty, you can see the disappointment in their eyes. then they have to go ski really fast for another couple km. ouch.

I don't like Joffrey's face - it makes me want to do things to it.

I think that NBC is criminally underusing Al 'Do you believe in miracles?!!?!?' Michaels. He should have been the one taking over for Costas hosting prime time - sports entertainment, indeed.

I've been enjoying the hell out of all the nordic events. Biathalon and XC skiing have been great fun to watch - and I can't think of a sport where the athetes leave more out on the course than these men and women. It's just carnage on the finish line. (exception - the French gold medalist biathlete who just seemed to…

just to be sure i'm not imagining anything - has anyone seen an actual medals ceremony? usually they would one or two at the end of a broadcast, but i haven't seen one yet.

i may be making this up, but i believe it was a box of KABOOM! cereal. product placement, yo.

I have 3 off the top of my head

Bold as Love, of course. Just ask the axis.

money barrel? or PP decomposition barrel?

J Mascis - It is done
The Posies - Dream all day
Neil Young - Down by the river
Beck - Lord only knows
Guided by voices - Asia minor

yeah, that and 'punk and the godfather' should be on the list. they are my two favorite who songs.

coming across the deer is pretty cool isn't it? I run on trails in a park that has lots and lots of deer. earlier this week as i was blitzing around a blind corner (at my 10min/mi pace) there were four of them in the path right in front of me.
all of us had the 2 second deer in the headlights look and scared the hell…

You will someday! Just save save save. This is my second house I've bought and is much less of a fixer upper than the last one (85 years old). The fixing up is fun - but can be really frustrating with unseen/unexpected snags. The fixing up can also get really expensive (but still cheaper than hiring someone to do it);…

I hear you - go through stores/websites etc and picking out stuff, it always seems the most expensive thing there. We actually have a bar in the new place and we were checking out barstools - the ones we liked were like $250 each. That's $1000 for barstools.
