Silver Reticulan Awards

I don't know how I missed this. AssignmentX (formerly Fandom) has published their Silver Reticulan Awards, drawn from an online X-Files poll. Where was I when the questions were being asked? Regardless, the results are fantastic - probably one of the best online polls I have ever read. And I think it has more to do with the writing style of the author (Tina Stanley, whose column at AssignmentX is Musings of a Cigarette Smoking X-Phile), than the actual results (although I tend to agree with her honorary awards). You'll laugh, you'll cry, and if you're not a fan, you won't know what the hell she's talking about.

The results have been published in three parts:

Part One
Part Two
Part Three

Enjoy, and let me know what you think!

Hepburn Hospitalized

Katharine Hepburn has always epitomized for me what a woman ought to be - independent, smart, feminine, strong-willed, funny and beautiful. She was who I wanted to be when I grew up. Ms. Hepburn, 94, was hospitalized today here in CT. I wish her well.

We have plenty of sex in the library but I'm afraid it's all in books.

Webbys

The 6th Annual Webby Awards were handed out last night and you can see the list of nominees and winners here. Blogger didn't win in the Personal Web Site category, unfortunately; but, the list of winners and nominees is a great source for good stuff on the web and browsing these sites could make for hours of Internet fun.

Oh, come O N

The start of this past season of The Sopranos, its third, was pushed back from January to March. Those extra three months of waiting were excruciating. What's the word on the date for the start of next season? March of 2002? No.

June 2002. Jesus Mary and Joseph.

Pretty Hip, Huh?

I just took the Weblog Hipness Quiz, and I am happy to report my score was 16:

13-24 : You're pretty hip but you don't care much about popularity. That makes you better than any A-Lister.

Wild & Wooly

Woo! What a weekend. I made up for my lame-o birthday night in grand fashion on Friday, an evening that included such drunken antics as dancing on tables in a cowboy hat and giving my telephone number to a 28-year-old Yale PhD candidate with freckles on his face. Many photos were taken, some of which I may even post here, if Sheila's extortion price isn't too high.

Everything is a blur from that night on...Mary and the kids came to stay the weekend and we did the mall thing and the amusement park thing on Saturday. The night was capped off with an overnight visit from our cousin, Karen. Finally, yesterday was the Jack and Jill Bridal Shower/Luncheon/Brunch for my brother Tommy and his fiance Stacey, who just arrived from Florida. It was wonderful to see them after so long, and the food was awesome. I had plates and plates of shrimp and clams on the half shell - even the cocktail sauce was to die for. I finished off the meal with a big ole warm Belgian waffle covered in raspberry sauce and real whipped cream. I'm sure you can imagine how I felt by the time I got home! I went for a nap at around 6:00 and slept for too long - I ended up not falling asleep later until after 2:00 A.M.

And now it's Monday, I'm at work, and I'm a wreck, at least physically. Just a few more hours to go...
