Judy Garland, Oliver Stone, and more...

Mark your calendar:
30 March 2006: Heidi's 12th Birthday
31 March 2006: Transfer Day, commemorating the transfer of the Danish VirGin Islands to the Americans. In your face Denmark. Is there any land that you didn't own and give away for no reason? Let's celebrate by drinking gin, eating danishs, drawing amusing caricatures of religious figures, and then, sacrificing vir gins to them.
01 April 2006: Owen's 2nd Birthday
01 April 2006: May Day
02 April 2006: Day Lights Savings Time Starts or ends. I can never keep that straight. All I know is I got to get up earlier on Monday.
02 April 2006: DC United beats Red Bull New York in their season opener. Miss the first hour of the game because clocks are set wrong.
03 April 2006: Make sure I get up at the right time.


According to Warner Independent Pictures, Richard Linklater's film adaptation of the Philip K. Dick sci-fi novel 'A Scanner Darkly,' will feature music by Radiohead, including a brand-new track from lead singer Thom Yorke's upcoming solo release. The music for 'A Scanner Darkly' may be all new or a mix of new songs and old.
I'm not sure if I believe this because I think that I'd know that Thom was planning a solo release.
