Oil Shock Randomosity and Moon Bloodgood!

  • Oil up to $98 a barrel, after teasing the $100 mark today. The April contract hit an intraday high of $100.01 a barrel, the first time oil reached an intraday high of $100 since Oct. 2, 2008.  Good times.
  • Moon Bloodgood to star in Falling Skies.

imageToday TNT released a brand new television spot for the new sci-fi show "Falling Skies." With executive producer Steven Spielberg at the helm, this alien invation show might be just the ticket for science fiction fans who are still in "Battlestar Gallactica" rehab.

(…blah blah blah…)

Moon Bloodgood ("Terminator: Salvation," "Journeyman") co-stars as Ann Glass a therapist who works with the kids who have survived the invation.

  • Okay.  Sold.   Coming in June.  And I don’t think the verb in the last sentence is a euphemism for anything, but it could be. Potentially.  Especially if every escape, rescue, and troubleshooting scenario requires Moon to get into a bikini or lingerie.  Must watch TV.
  • Oil going to $220 a barrel?  Kiss the stock market goodbye.  Oh, and I can’t imagine the problems the government worker pension funds would have.
  • Hey, Apple was up today and announced “an event” for next week.  iPad?  Macbooks?  Mum is the word on Steve Jobs’ health. Hope you’re doing well, Steve.
  • In Japanese, “tsuki” means “moon.”  Just saying.
  • Rising oil prices raise the spector of a double dip.  Ya think? Most economists reckon that the price of oil would have to rise to at least $120 a barrel, and stay there, to threaten the recovery. "It's definitely unhelpful," says Comerica economist Dana Johnson of the rise in energy prices. "But we would really need a far more massive increase in crude prices for me to really start worrying."
  • Bored with the NBA?  NFL Scouting Combine Kicks off ThursdayA group of 330 hopeful players will make its way to the annual NFL Scouting Combine where they will run, jump, lift and interview in an effort to improve their draft status this week.  NFL Network, baby.
