Bring Your Toast
They’re still raving about Monday’s Late Late Show, which included an opening musical number by Craig Ferguson and a wonderful collaboration of artists including Amanda Palmer, Moby, Stephin Merritt and Neil Gaiman in the final segment, performing tunes from Rocky Horror.  Catching up on the fun were the Independent Film Channel, mxdwn.com and Perez Hilton.


Who Knows The Future?
The website Anglotopia.net speculates on the future of Matt Smith as the eleventh Doctor Who, and mentions how Smith’s appearances on shows like the Late Late Show have increased his exposure in the United States.

Great Scott!

It was on November 5th, 1955 that Doc Brown invented the Flux Capacitor, thus enabling the Back To The Future trilogy of films.  Will we be watching them again this weekend to celebrate?  Of course!  It’s like deja vu at 1.21 gigawatts.


RIP Andy Rooney
Just a few short weeks after announcing his retirement, CBS News commentator Andy Rooney has died at the age of 92.  In a world where the fleeting image has become the standard… where a tweet or a flash video are thought to the limit of the human attention span… Andy was a journalist who cherished the carefully crafted written word and its power to not only engage but enlighten.

CBS tweeted:

This Sunday, 60 MINUTES honors and remembers its beloved commentator, Andy Rooney, with a special segment.

Early November Holidays
Saturday, November 5th is Sadie Hawkins Day, Guy Fawkes Day and the birthday of singing cowboy hero Roy Rogers.  Sunday, November 6th is Saxophone Day, Zero-Tasking Day and the birthday of march king John Philip Sousa.  It is also the day Daylight Saving Time ends for the season in most of the United States (except Arizona and Hawaii which don’t observe Daylight Time).  Don’t forget to turn your clocks back one hour before going to bed on Saturday night.  Enjoy that extra hour of sleep!  Daylight Saving Time resumes on March 11, 2012.
