- Nasdaq is up 5% for the year.
- Did you catch the opening 2 hours of "24" last night? Jack didn't stay in the witness protection program for long! Former President David Palmer shot. Former CTU agent Michelle killed and David wounded. Chloe on the run. And who is the suspect? Jack. Jack lives! Anyways, looks like another good season for the series. Although... Airport hostages?
- I think I'm going with some folks to see Chronicles of Narnia. Which is a good time to bring up the Saturday Night Live skit again!
- No sports on. The market is closed. Sheesh. Might as well go to the movies. (I think the Lakers-Heat game is on tonight...)
- Freakonomics on Cheating in the NFL. I disagree, though. I just think there are some missed calls or bad calls. The Refs are watching these things in real time, and we have TV with 5000 camera angles and slo-mo replays. It's always obvious to the viewers.
- The Alito Supreme Court vote has been postponed until January 24th. C'mon. Just get it over with. Why the suspense?
- Interesting article on younger folks shunning cash for plastic (credit cards). These young consumers so consistently reach for debit and credit cards that Visa USA has anointed the age group "Generation Plastic," or "Gen P."
- The NBA trade deadline is coming. The best way to keep up on the rumors! Ron Artest seems to be the top rumor guy. There are rumors that have him going about everywhere...
- I watched the Jessica Alba Into the Blue movie. Not a bad film, since I went in with low expectations. Kind of a similar plot to the Nick Nolte movie The Deep where he dives and finds drugs. Yes, Jessica Alba is hot. But I think she needs to tone up a bit. (Just being picky). I see via IMDB that she's slated for Sin City 2, Sonic, and Awake.
- MLK DAY! CNN was wondering if this should be a national holiday. I think we could get to the point where we have too many holidays. There were lots of great people in American history. Maybe we should have a Great Americans Day and leave it at that. Not that I don't want more holidays, though.
- OK. Chronic-What!-cles of Narnia time....
