A bunch more assorted thoughts and links (as I develop a pattern of not developing any regularity to these postings) ...

• The streaming audio file of The Shins mini-concert I attended at the local radio station is available for downloading.

• Is Atlanta required to have a kooky criminal on the lam seemingly every month? First, it was the Fulton County courthouse shooter, then the runaway bride and now the fugitive on the crane. Any guesses on what the next wacky criminal will be coming through here?

• With the flood of reality shows coming out this summer, I guess it's safe to say that the major outlets to catch missed episodes of favorite shows are on DVD or TiVo. Of course, many shows now lend themselves to watching it in order so as not to get confused (24, Alias, Lost); but there's still room for one-off shows that will work well in reruns and syndication, although most of them are variations of CSI or Law and Order.

• Speaking of the reality shows, there's celebrity versions of almost every TV competition, whether it be Jeopardy!, The Mole or bowling. But how in the world did they come up with celebrity ballroom dancing (featuring among others, Stacy's Mom, TV's J. Peterman and Evander Holyfield)? And what does ETC think of the whole thing?

• Saw Star Wars: Sith the other day. I'm not a big geek for the series, but I have seen them all and thought this was a good way to wrap up the prequel and lead to the trilogy we know well. It's better than the other prequels, but it's not saying much. I guess I really liked the darkness of the movie -- Order 66 was especially evil. That reminds me: How much was George Lucas inspired by real-life politics for this film?

• Now that he was dethroned in rather impressive fashion in the UToC, how well received will the KenJen board game and potential Comedy Central game show be?

• While many of us are saying that this photogenic young athletic star isn't the same thing as this one, remember that Anna seemed destined for success until we all started ogling her. We're just doing the double-admiring now to cover all our bases. That said, Indy becomes relevant for the first time in years.
