Tonight, Star Trek: Enterprise premiered on UPN. It is the 5th Star Trek series and marks a departure from the 24th Century of TNG, DS9, and Voyager. I thought the premiere episode was pretty good, but nothing that was a radical departure from the other premieres. Its true staying power will be in the weeks and months to come. I will be interested to see if…
September 26, 2001According to the Evolution page, it is the 11th variation of the homepage (although that number is a bit off since I have rotated some pictures in and out without officially logging them – bad me.). One of the format changes is that I will only have the current entry for the Daily Update on the homepage. Fear not, the archives will still be there.…
September 25, 2001The drive to and from Phoenix was better than expected. It probably had to do with that it was the first time I drove the Xterra there and also that there were more people on the trip. All in all it was a good weekend despite the rather lackluster club scene in Phoenix. Today after checking my e-mail and reading a few sites, I discovered…
September 24, 2001More and more, I am finding it hard to go to sleep at night at a reasonable hour (say before 12 midnight). It’s not like before when all I could think about was trying out for WWTBAM. I am not sure what it is. It could be the weather, the current situation, the lack of a job for almost three months, the bed, the constant…
September 19, 2001Highlights of this year’s fair: Grandma’s BBQ sauce dumping all over the table after the lid came off (karma payback for the time that she offered me some Orange Juice and I shook it not knowing that she rarely screws the lid on tight – right before we left to go to the family Christmas party) and the Sky Ride – a ride that neither…
September 18, 2001Life is slowly returning to normal, but what will normal become? It is an interesting time to live. It will be a time when, oh, 5 or 6 years down the road, I will be watching the Frontline episode about the events of the past week and say “I remember that”. My life seems to have lost a week. Tomorrow, I am off to the…
September 17, 2001Another day of non-stop coverage. At least some channels are airing commercials. Something I keep thinking about (besides the events of 11 September, is what the heck is going on in the Big Brother 2 house? Are they just gonna stay there until the networks decide to resume normal broadcasts? Imagine being stuck there with just a hint of what has actually happened. I know…
September 14, 2001Must stop watching TV. So far ABC and CNN have the best coverage. I’m so happy I have a TV with picture in picture capability.
September 13, 2001I have some new heroes tonight. Besides all the firefighters and search and rescue personnel et. al. working on site in New York, I have a great admiration for Tom Burnett, Jeremy Glick, Mark Bingham, and the other men who voted on Flight 93 to fight back against the hijackers. I am confident if I was in that situation, I would have been right next…
September 12, 2001The last time I was awoken up to a major news story was in 1994 for the Northridge Earthquake. A strange feeling. Both of my scheduled activities – a visit to the LA County Fair and my tryout for the Weakest Link were cancelled. I actually got a nice phone call from NBC telling me to stay home. As someone who is constantly fascinated by…
