Biffy – Times gives you headlines on their site for any day you plug in.
Antenna input: For CBS, NBC & ABC I need to aim at 333 degrees & they’re between 3 & 5 miles distance. For PBS it’s 7 degrees. You can purchase a GE amplified digital antenna #TV24746 for about $30 and try it, but it too has to be mounted in the highest window in the house facing magnetic North. BTW, the compass pts cited are based upon magnetic North, not true North; i.e. the curved face of the anntenna should point at 350 degrees from Magnetic North.
“I think the old Saarinen terminal at JFK is being refurbished as part of the new Jet Blue terminal.”
It’s about time they do something with that. As a kid I was completely fascinated with that terminal and swore I’d have a house like it when I grew up (how wrong and then some I was!). It was just so glamorous with those sweeping staircases and giant windows to watch the planes take off from. It was magical.
Hey, Legion! Thanks for leaving that great case of champagne in the PLUSA Office – I left you a note, but not sure if you saw it. I see your new movie opens January 22nd.
slopefarm and biff,
happy new year!

another museum recommendation;
The Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria
they’ve got Eddie Murphy’s Gumby costume,
Chewbacca’s Head, Ben Hur’s Chariot,
Freddie’s giant ugly sweater from
Nightmare on Elm Street, and a
miniature Egyptian themed movie house showing
Pixar animation shorts.
took the little legions there this past weekend.
i use an antennae in my room and finagle it in different positions, but eventually i can get every channel. it’s basically hit or miss, but what annoys me the most is every time a plane flies overhead the people on the screen start mouth farting (that scrambled noise and picture) and it lasts for 10 seconds and it’s ALWAYS at some pivitol point of a tv show! grrr stupid planes. they should just be done away with. it would also solve like most of our terrorism related problems! big deal if you cant now go to the eifel tower. just look at a picture of it on the internet if you care that much
LOL- Me? I feel like tush. I am NOT good at being pregnant. She’s happy as a clam and in full action mode. We think she’s a baby ninja in training. She practices her moves under the cover of darkness and by that I mean she flips out at night. Very comfortable for me.
Hey totally changing subjects here- anyone else have a crush on Judge Alex? I never watch daytime TV but I’m finding I’m tuning in to watch him.
Arkady, check your email!
Here are some of the best pics online of the interior of The TWA Saarinen terminal at JFK:

Has anyone else grown tired of that annoying falling apple on Google today, or am I just cranky to be back at work???
