- IndyCar season starts Sunday!
- So this Netflix thing rocks. (I’m only 12 years late to the party.) I get a new one the third day after returning one (so return in Monday’s mail, and new one on Thursday), and the streaming, though not HD, has good uses too. With Blu-ray discs still mostly north of $20, this is a much better option than purchasing.

- Our language—indeed, the very heritage of our genitalial slang—is so much richer than “junk.” Of course, there are all the coarser common terms for the male sex organs with which we are well familiar, but junk isn’t even communicative in that utilitarian way, nor is it particularly funny. (Well, not like bishop or meatsicle is funny.) I don’t expect us to all go around purring “throbbing thrill-hammer” like Kathleen Turner, but surely we’re better than this. Let’s junk “junk.”
- Also, let’s all make sure we get that subjunctive mood thing right.
- Hot on the heels of giving United Kingdom Prime Minister Gordon Brown 25 region 1 (unplayable on UK equipment) DVDs, President Obama recently presented Queen Elizabeth II with a new iPod. The White House had no comment on reports that Obama has texted dozens of world leaders asking each of them to fill out an Amazon.com wish list for future official state gifts.
- Photographer, not terrorist.

The real question is will Vin Diesel admit he is Tony Kanaan and race the entire race backwards wearing a black t-shirt in honor of Fast and Furious opening.
Gordon Brown probably kicks it with a phat region-free player snarking about OAR and PAL to NTSC compression ratios and the superiority of Masters of Cinema to Criterion releases.
