OK, it is from the New York Post, so take lots of grains of salt, but. . .

"WE HEAR. . . February 28, 2006 -- THAT fans of "Arrested Development" can relax. Word is Showtime not only picked up the canceled Fox show but also ordered 26 more episodes . . ."

Of course, they later claim that James Frey's memoirs were actually written by a collaborating J. D. Salinger and Thomas Pynchon. Geez, it's not even April 1st. . .

I've won a Major Award!

I'd like to thank all the little people who made my achievement possible: the ones who don't gouge on shipping, those who don't set ridiculous reserve prices, people who say I am "A++++++ A GREAT EBAYER!" Without them, this might not have been possible...

Hey, "Arrested Development" fans! I found an image that you might like, but I have to warn you that it is pretty rough. It's a really rough image.

I didn't mean for this to become a David Hasselhoff blog, it just sort of happened that way...

Although I've been known to drink either depending on what was available, I think I'll be sticking to Coke now instead of fresh-squeezed Hasselhoff juice--er, Pepsi. I am reminded of a joke. David Hasselhoff tells his agent that he wants to be known from that point forward as "The Hoff." While skeptical, the agent replies, "Got it, David. No hassle."
 

Wow, I'm the guy who usually bugs other bloggers to put stuff on their blogs, I better stop being hypocritical. Hmm, let's see... Have you all got Olympics fever yet? I don't think I do. I developed immunity somewhere between 1998 and 2000. Up until the Sydney Olympics I loved them, barely missed a night. Then for some reason, I became strangely Olympics apathetic in 2000. I couldn't really explain it. None of my friends or students at the time seemed that interested either. I do still love the opening ceremonies and Parade of Nations, though. I don't know that the Winter Parades of Nations are as impressive, but we'll see. Also, maybe they will have some kind of kooky way of lighting the torch? It is in Italy, so maybe they will have Alberto Tomba la Bomba fly a helicopter into it, or maybe old women dressed in black will hit the torch with their purses until it ignites. Let me know what happens, I'll be watching "Arrested Development" on Fox.
