Wednesday 7.25

Mr. J's on vacation after today, so here's a big pile of timewasters to hold you over until he's back on August 7th:

Tuesday 7.24

If you want really tasty french fries, there's a secret...but the SPCA's not gonna be happy about it.

Timewaster: Statetris. It's like Tetris, combined with basic US geography.

Here's a nice big gallery of bizarre deep-sea creatures. Very cool.

Monday 7.23

Timewaster: Shuffle. Very simple, and it will eat your productivity for lunch.

Weekend 7.20-22

Miller has been Simpsonized! (UPDATE: we've gotten some concern that he's not bald enough.  See the picture right next to this one for a comparison. Should we re-do it? Email morningmix@mix97fm.com and let us know.)

And these are the Jones kids, Daniel and Maria:

Give it a try yourself at www.simpsonizeme.com.

Thursday 7.19

Entertainment Weekly has a pretty cool Harry Potter villain tournament bracket thing.

Wednesday 7.18

Posting will be a little light over the next day or so...we're dealing with some hosting weirdness. Nothing a judiciously applied ball-peen hammer can't fix.

www.walkscore.com looks pretty neat - it grades your neighborhood based on how easy it is to walk to local schools, stores, libraries, restaurants, day-care centers and so forth.

Monday 7.16

Well, this will keep you on your diet.

Bet you didn't know there are Harry Potter tribute bands. 200 of them.

Time magazine has come out with its annual best websites of the year list, and Mr. J hasn't heard of most of them. Happy exploring!

Oh, don't we wish.

Weekend 7.13-15

Many thanks again to all the Morning Mix listeners who offered their confessions for our latest What Were We Thinkin' Friday the 13th, and so, for you, here's Milli Vanilli:

Thursday 7.12

Today's entry for WHAT WERE WE THINKIN': the immortal Terence Trent D'arby's "Wishing Well". Which we actually like:

Wednesday 7.11

Ye gods, we nearly forgot - Friday is the 13th, and that means another installation of WHAT WERE WE THINKIN'? That's where you, our amazingly devoted listeners, confess to us your musical guilty pleasures of days gone by. SOMEBODY bought all those copies of I'm Too Sexy and You Light Up My Life and all those New Kids on the Block albums and so forth. And it was you. No sense trying to evade it, really. Email your confessions to morningmix@mix97fm.com, or call them in to the Morning Mix while we're on the air. We'll kick it off with Mr. J's confession: T'Pau. Yep, there's super-cheesy big-haired 80's video to go with it:

And yes, we'll post the videos of the songs we use on Friday, so you can fully wallow in your poor musical choices of days gone by.

Tuesday 7.10

This looks really interesting if you're a baseball fan - The Glory Days: New York Baseball 1947-1957 at the Museum of the City of New York.

Monday 7.9

If your kid is really having trouble landing work this summer, there's a rich couple who needs somebody to de-louse their daughter. Ew. Just...ew. Still, it's 30 bucks an hour

And now, in what may be the worst segue ever, here's that grilled-PB-&-J recipe from Miller:

Ingredients:
1 standard PB&J sandwich...use whatever you usually use
A bit of grapeseed oil to keep the grill lubricated

Instructions:
Grill on medium heat for approx. 5 minutes on the side with the peanut butter on it...a little less on the jelly side. Experiment with the grilling time as needed.

Eat, but make sure to avoid jelly burns.

Voted best cartoon ever: "What's Opera, Doc?"

Weekend 7.6-8
