Yes, that is the day of the week that the folks at our oh-so-ever-efficient cable/phone/ internet provider (for legal purposes, we’ll call ‘em Ca-Ca Communications) told us was the soonest they could get a tech to our humble abode to reconnect our, you guessed it, cable/phone/ internet service!!! It is Tuesday evening. Oh, fun! This is what we’re paying for? Our power goes out on Monday, and Ca-Ca can’t bother to send someone ‘til the end of the week? Must be nice, must be Ca-Ca.

To me, this is right up there with the original versions of "Coupling" and "the Office". Instant classic! http://break.com/

Here's a new clip from Wanted , which is partly stuff that was already in the movie's trailer. But it gives a bit more detail on exactly how Angelina Jolie manages to drive a car while being splayed out on the hood and shooting at a truck.

It's not really a spoiler, but here it is anyway: View Original Article Pulse...quickening...hard...to look away... Damn you io9 , it's very hard to get any work done with distractions like this. I hate you Brad Pitt, you lucky sumbitch! But seriously, I rented Midnight Cowboy a few weeks back and came to a very disturbing epiphany; Ms. Jolie looks EXACTLY like her daddy (Jon Voight)! I mean, the eyes and the lips are his! Everything else is her mama, but not the face; the features work much better on her, that's for sure. http://www.wantedmovie.com/ Blog
