I began my viewing this afternoon with last night's RENO 911! I thought Tony Hawk was very funny. The rest of the show was OK, but those scenes were funny.

So, the sky cleared and we had blue skies - for ten minutes. Then it rained. Then the skies cleared and we had blue skies - for thirty minutes. Now it's raining again. Make up your mind already, that's what I say.

Page Eight Harry, Hermione, and Semus (with their broomsticks) Dance!!!

And that concludes the Harry Potter Dances.

The next time I get to do one will be a new theme for the year.

Next, I finished the gay bashing episode from the JAG that I had begun last night and didn't finish. Turns out that Petty Officer Tiner wasn't gay after all (though I refused to be convinced).

I watched two additional episodes of JAG, one of which bore an uncomfortable resemblance to the movie EXECUTIVE DECISION.

I have six more JAG episodes to go, and I should be able to watch at least two more before prime time begins tonight.

I skimmed very quickly through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. Nothing of interest for me today.

I concluded my afternoon by starting PROJECT RUNWAY. I only for the first segment watched - the first 15 minutes or so. I'll finish it when I go back down. Should be an interesting challenge with that material.

MUSLIM CLERIC ISSUES FATWA AGAINST BOLLYWOOD STAR FOR WAX FIGURE

Quote

Bollywood star Salman Khan had a fatwa issued against him for allowing Madame Tussauds in London to make his image in wax, the Daily Mail reported.

Mufti Salim Ahmad Qasmi, a Muslim cleric in India, issued the fatwa, saying the statue is illegal according to the Sharia, which forbids depictions of all living creatures, Mohammed in particular. A mufti is a Muslim scholar who interprets the Sharia, or the religious law of Islam; a fatwa is a legal opinion or ruling handed down by an Islamic scholar.

Khan, star of more than 50 Bollywood movies, unveiled the statue himself last week and described it as an honor. (Bollywood is the informal term popularly used for the Mumbai-based Hindi-language film industry in India.) Major celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie have also had their wax likenesses displayed at Madame Tussauds.

The Dioband Seminary which the mufti runs has already issued a fatwa against Khan for dancing at a Hindu festival last month.

The Indian actor says his "bad boy" image is to blame as fellow Muslim and even bigger star Shah Rukh Khan is also in the wax museum and hasn't been singled out.

Bruce, stay indoors, drink plenty of hot liquids and, if you must go outside, remember to wear your rubbers.

Evidently you have teleported to PDX (or is that teleportlanded?).

Everyone must be on the road right now....except those of us here on the left coast who still have more than two hours to go in our work day.

Lunch today was delicious:

Shrimp bisque
Shrimp scampi, steamed vegetables and herbed rice.

(And for those "inclined" toward such nitpickiness, Wikipedia says: The word "scampi" is often construed as that style of preparation, not an ingredient, hence the seemingly redundant "shrimp scampi" or the seemingly impossible "chicken scampi". The "style" referred to is the item being cooked in butter and garlic).
