This Week At Dontmindme.com — July 8, 2001

This week I'm a bit late due to the whole Netscape thing. I think I have it fixed, but we're not sure. As usual, if anyone has any suggestions for themes, or links, or whatever, e-mail me or better yet, hit the forum.

Song of the Week: Something a bit quirky that I've been listening to lately is "I Love My Boss" by Moxy Fruvous. It's catchy and silly, and is noteworthy for using the basic tune of "Brazil" which is why it will sound familiar. Go download it for a smile. It's best appreciated if you don't like your boss. I should point out that I like my boss, and even suggested he should download this song himself.

Link of the Week: A great source of information about upcoming movies and TV stuff can be found at Dark Horizons, with particular emphasis on science fiction stuff. I visit there pretty much every day to keep my information ahead of everyone else. That's only one of my secrets of staying well informed.

Fun Fact of the Week: The specific gravity of gold is 19.3 grams per cubit centimetre. Okay, so it's not a particularly fun fact, but it's something that's been stuck in my head for as long as I can remember, and I wanted to share it. If you're wondering, water has a specific gravity of 1 gram per cubic centimetre. Yes, gold is heavy.

Movie of the Week: In a departure from my usual schema, I'm promoting a movie that I don't have on DVD, primarily because it's not yet available on DVD. The movie is UHF. It stars Weird Al Yankovic, but don't get scared away because of that. This movie is hilarious, one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Perhaps not everyone will appreciate Weird Al's humour, but I should point out that this movie features Michael Richards, who you may know better as Cosmo Kramer from Seinfeld. The movie will hopefully come out on DVD in the near future, but in the mean time, check it out on VHS.
