Tired. Not thinking. Watched Michael Ian Black and Norm MacDonald on Celebrity Poker Showdown; read Confessions of a Master Jewel Thief. Off to another quiet night . . .

iTunes UK

iTunes is finally going to make its debut in the United Kingdom, which will make the Apple suit more interesting.

Good Things About Greater Cleveland

… not the city itself, of course, but a few positive exceptions deserve notice:

• 2 or 3 nice suburbs with paved streets and visible signage.

Gaelic Imports. Where we get our pasties and Crunchies.

The West Side Market. Freshest, cheapest produce in town.

The Harp. The only true local ‘pub’ as far as we’ve seen. Cider on tap!

• Many people have emigrated here from India for teaching and medical positions, which means we have a lot of nice Indian restaurants and grocers.

• The Cuyahoga County Library System, which is great. I don’t regret being taxed for it.

There was a time when “record stores” would have been on this list, but they’ve all closed shop.

Calling International Plot Rescue

I saw the trailer for Thunderbirds Friday and wished I hadn’t. Typical Hollywood, and the typical need for childproof scripts. Let’s base a move on a proven, well-known premise, only the movie won’t be about the premise at all. We’ll contort it to fit into a predictable, generic preteen action plot instead.
