Friday Wrap-Up For 6/15/07
-First up, Rob Pegoraro's Fast Forward column in the Post this week talks about iTunes' new DRM-free store section (for EMI music), cleverly named iTunes Plus. I mentioned this news before, but I am excited about the potential for the record label pendulum to start swinging in the right direction when it comes to online music. Pegoraro makes two good points: first, this is the most fair offering from a major label yet, so let's not screw it up. Second, if this takes off, EMI will have a clear lead ahead of other labels, who will be scrambling not to lose the digital audiophile crowd even more than they already have.
-Second up, with a Nancy Drew movie coming out, can the Hardy Boys be far behind? Well, according to rumors on IMDB, Ben Stiller and Tom Cruise are talking about becoming the "Hardy Men." Please, no. Get Prince William and Harry to do it before you start making it an explosion-filled, Scientology-fueled action flick.
-We almost did a write-in vote for Josh in this Tuesday's primary election for Fairfax County's Providence District Supervisor, but we were afraid he might actually end up on the ballot. I was in New Jersey regardless, so I missed the vote, but it seems as though incumbent Linda Q. Smyth held on to the office. She didn't blow up the county or anything, so I guess she's doing an okay job.
-Hey Squirrel? You're in trouble. (I know it's not cool to post in-jokes online, but suffice it to say that ever since high school, the Hulkster's been telling wildlife that they're in trouble. At least in my head.)

Hey, I don't know what you're talking about in half of this...probably because I'm clueless when it comes to reading the newspaper or watching the news! (How depressing!)...but, I would have to say, that this entry complete with links to funny photos, reminds me of Dave Barry's play-by-play with the 24 premiere. I love that squirrel. (What a weird word.) And, in case you haven't heard it a million times, that's Julia Robert's niece!!! Yay! The tradition lives on. I just hope she doesn't suck. Hahahahahaahahahaah!
OH! I just saw this in Rachel's profile. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19223211/?GT1=10056
