Maui bans plastic bags starting in 2011.
"Warren McCord of the Maui Outdoor Circle, which supported the ban, said the plastic bag problem is acute because of the island's strong trade winds... Carol Pregill, president of Retail Merchants of Hawaii, said there is good reason to resist the call for a ban on plastic bags."
I heard Neil Patrick Harris
on Fresh Air talking about his
new web musical, Dr. Horrible and thought it sounded pretty funny. I wasn't going to say anything about it, just make it the first thing I add to my iPhone in a month or so (when I celebrate iPhonica), but now everyone's talking about it and I don't want to be left out anymore. If you've seen it, let me know what you think in the comments.
GemCraft has been taking up a lot of my time the last couple days, not as much as J's, but still. Give it a shot if you've got nothing going on for the next week.
It's a shame that McCain can't get permission to use any of songs he wants to use in his ads. Perhaps he should check out The Nuuuuuge?

McCain lost Toby Keith. I was actually going to use him as an example.

I'm convinced that David Sedaris's books should not be read; rather, they should only ever be listened to. Some of his stories that are darkly funny when read aloud are just depressing on the page. His latest, all 8 CDs of it, is fantastic: his story of quitting smoking is great, and I don't even smoke.
I don't want to tell the Beijing Olympics peeps how to feel about certain things... Wait, yes I do. One easy way to not get offended by athletes wearing masks to protect their lungs from the smog is to not have the smog. And shame on the USOC for not standing behind the athletes that wore the masks that HAD BEEN GIVEN TO THEM by the USOC.

No, not french toast flavored bagels, I mean french toast made with bagels. Cinnamon raisin bagels, to be precise.
Oh, it's easy. Just make some french toast batter, and put the cut sides of your bagel in it, let it soak for the usual amount of time, and then put it in a hot pan with some butter until it's browned. (One side only, of course.)
You may choose to smear it with cream cheese that has had some maple syrup stirred into it. That would be good.
This is too much to bear. Sharks need to stick to their own food groups and leave bears alone, for real. I'm tired of uppity sharks thinking they can do whatever they want.
