Who knew that Swine Flew?

I have actually more than one Doctor Friend in the Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com Vicinity (Not just The-Evil-Doctor-Merlin-Channing-Lowe-Jr.) and I think that they are fed up with this H1N1 Swine Flu Hysteria.

First, The Doctor-Not-Known-as-Chan sent an important Public Service Announcement to the E-mail List of my really-greater circle of friends:

Everyone suffers from this, in some way or another, every new year, and we are still stuck in last year.
You know what I’m talking about, that period of time that you still think it is Last Year, and not the current year, when writing the date down. Your brain is still wired in the previous memorized numbers.

It usually takes a day, or a week, or two to get out of the habit and then you are good to go.

We’re now over 100 days into Barack Obama’s Presidency, and I’m still subconsciously in the Bush Administration.

From the "Internet-Movies-Two-point-oh!" Department

As many of you know, I’ve been using two Movie Services for years now:

I used MovieLens, for years, to help me decide what movies I would like, or might not like, before I watch them (and I’ve been quite pleased with the results)
Netflix is the service I use to rent movies, online, and receive DVDs through the mail.

Ciscofornian Crisis

Filed under: Mindless BanterJeremy @ 4:08:09 PM

So Cisco, what the heck is going on in Ciscofornia?

You guys are already asking for some of my big-wheelbarrow-fulla-bailout-goodness, and I’m concerned.

Is the Governator going to sell your house with Folsom County Prison?

SCOTUS: Obama Nomination 1: Sonia Sotomayor

From the "What-does-Major-League-Baseball-and-Vince-Foster-have-in-common?" Department

President Obama has announced his first Nomination to the Supreme Court, Currently Judge Sotomayor serves as a Circuit Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.

I have to say, honestly, I’ve not studied much about President Obama’s potential nominees, partially because I have not had the energy to, and also because I really wasn’t too concerned about this nomination.

From the "You-know-several, you-know, Dozens-of-people-spontaneously-combust-each-year; its-just-not-really-widely-reported" Department

I learned this week, that what has been called, “The Most Infamous Rock and Roll Movie of the Eighties”, is celebrating 25 years of “Tap-stravagance.”
