Thursday miscellanea #299

  • Hello, football. Nice to see you.
  • Did you know Aldous Huxley and C.S. Lewis both died November 22, 1963, the day JFK was assassinated? I didn’t.
  • I see a particular vehicle on my morning commute maybe monthly. We’ll be together, or close to each other, but our routes diverge when she takes what she thinks is a shortcut. Nine times out of ten she’s stopped on a side street when I go by at speed.
  • I thought Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were already married.
  • Did you see that Hello Kitty supposedly is not and never has been a cat? This is clearly an absurd claim, but if the idea was raised Hello Kitty awareness, then shrewd move.
  • The developer is calling this an unofficial Windows XP Service Pack 4, but if you read it, it sounds like all of the official Microsoft updates put together. Not sure that makes it SP4. My XP box that wasn’t doing anything but running SETI@home started acting up last week. Haven’t had a chance to look at it yet.
  • Destiny lands week after next.
