Who’s got the remote? Downtime aboard the International Space Station just got more enjoyable, thanks to a 65-inch projection screen that arrived a couple of weeks ago. Last weekend, the crew used it to watch the Sandra Bullock-marooned-in-space thriller “Gravity.”
The crew now must agree on how to accessorize their man cave in space. The Americans want a beer fridge, the Russians demand a freezer for vodka storage, and the one Italian aboard would really like a pizza oven.
Starbucks Platinum: Starbucks is selling $80-a-pound coffee beans at its new Reserve Roastery and Tasting Room in Seattle.
Instead of “race together,” baristas at this high-end Starbucks write “abolish the death tax” on customers’ cups.
An error is charged: On Wednesday, in noting the baseball game played before 47,000 empty seats at Camden Yards in Baltimore, The Buzz somehow misstated the Orioles’ opponent as the Toronto Blue Jays. The correct opponent was the Chicago White Sox — who, in losing 8-2, also were pretty much a no-show.
