Hello.
King Tom here.
Just to let you know, to the rest of the world, tomorrow is just Saturday.
That is all.
p.s. Please don’t burn my house down should your team lose. Or win.

Thirteen weeks…
So I watched the Lost first-half season finale. And before I get to Lost, I want to say I have no interest in this show, “Day Break” that’s replacing Lost. I liked it better the first time when it was a comedy called Groundhog Day.
So I’ve been thinking about tonight’s episode, “I Do,” and I’m…

Life in these United States
Election Day is tomorrow. I don’t care what you believe or who you support, just get out there and vote (as long as you can do so legally).
In the meanwtime, I’ll leave you with the three things I’ve been thinking about about what America will be like after the 2006 election:
1. What will our landscapes, urban, suburban and pastoral, look like without campaign yard signs?
2. Who will give my life meaning now that I no longer get ten calls per day (eight of which are recorded) telling me who to vote for? (Or what to vote against?)
3. What in the world will TV stations air during commercial breaks now that all campaign commercials are irrevelant?
Go America!
And then there was Bernard
So I didn’t see that coming.

Revenge of the Big Umbrella Posse
I used to be one of those little umbrella people.
Whenever it would rain, I’d have a compact umbrella handy for the four-plus block walk from the parking lot through other parking lots to the building I work in.
My last umbrella was the Ultimate Umbrella from Eddie Bauer, which proved to be anything but ultimate. A not-so-strong gust of wind bent the umbrella’s stem at a 90-degree angle my first day of using it.
Last month ago, in the wake of the wedding, I got a bonus wedding present from my father: a big umbrella (okay, he left it in the back of my car).
I have to say, it’s amazing walking around with this thing. It’s like I have my own eco-system. And unlike Eddie Bauer’s ultimate umbrella, this thing won’t break because of a little whisper of wind.
But if it was Jack Bauer’s ultimate umbrella, it would not just repel rain, but it would also blow up random bad guys at will.
Jack’s Back!
There are roughly three months left until the season premiere of 24.
For those of you who can’t wait, I give you:
The 24 Season Six Trailer
Actually, it’s brought to you by FOX. I’m just linking to it.
One night, two beatdowns for Sawyer
Tonight, Lost viewers saw something special: the first Sawyer flashback that didn’t make him look like a complete jackass.

The Man Comes Around
Hard to believe, but the first half of this season of Lost is almost over.

The Power of Fudge
When I dream, I come up with great marketing gimmicks.
The other night, I was dreaming that I was watching the Food Network and Huey Lewis was hosting a cooking show.
The name of that show:
Huey Lewis and the Food
Bonus Pockets
Because it’s getting colder, I’ve started wearing my winter coat.
The last time I wore it was probably in March or April. The coat has a buttload of pockets-I’m constantly finding new pockets and losing things in them (in fact, I almost lost an engagement ring at a critical moment thanks to the abundance of pockets).
So as I was wearing my coat, I started going through the pockets and was amazed by what I found:
-A brochure from St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York (from a trip in November ’04)
-A lunch receipt from February 2005
-A UPS shipping receipt from January 2006
-A ticket to an OmniMax movie (Forces of Nature)
-A ticket to a chick flick the Civee wanted to see (I’d rather not say the title)
-Three cough drops
-An instruction book for a Swiss Army Knife
-A valet parking receipt (never redeemed) from when I drove myself to the hospital barefoot after breaking my ankle
And best of all:
-A weezer bumper sticker
Bonus!
