Jabbar has gotten me addicted to Heroes, the new drama on NBC. If you haven’t seen Heroes yet, think of Lost, but with a definite goal for the end of the show.
The show is about normal people like you and me, who discover crazy traits, which was acquired through the process of evolution and natural selection. Once these people have discovered their traits, they set out to find each other, realizing that their common goal is to save the world from a bomb. The twist? The bomb will be set off by one of the exploding heroes.
The show has a great story, great characters, and excellent suspense. If you haven’t seen Heroes, pick up the season 1 DVD when it’s available in the summer, and watch it!
The classical Galveston Mardi Gras tradition kicked off this past weekend with a ton of fanfare. We went to the “Krewe of Gambrinus” parade on Seawall. Absolutely fun parade: tons of people were there yelling and screaming for beads to be thrown from the floats, while fireworks were being set off on the beach.
The festivities continue next weekend. Looking forward to see Galveston come alive during these next couple of weeks.
From my “doctor jokes” calendar:
“The American diet is slowly killing us. Red meat contributes to heart disease. Soft drinks corrode your stomach lining. Chinese food is loaded with MSG. High fat diets can be disastrous, and none of us realizes the long-term harm caused by the germs in our drinking water. But there is one thing that is the most dangerous of all, and we all have, or will, eat it. Would anyone care to guess what food causes the most grief and suffering for years after eating it?”
One man in the front row nodding knowingly. “Yes?” the professor asked, promting the man to speak aloud.
“Wedding cake.”
