I’ve watched the first 5 episodes of “30 Days,” the show brought to you by the man who made “Super-Size Me.” I think SSM made some good points but I also think that if anyone suddenly more than doubled their calorie intake their body would show similar signs of shock that his did with any […]

MUMBLER!! It’s been a long time since I’ve read the book. Longer than it has been since I saw the older version of this movie. There is more story in this one than the original movie at the very least because you only have oompa loompa songs (which are great). I loved the look, I […]

Possible spoilers ahead. I wanted to see this because I like Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn and I wasn’t disappointed. It starts out at a frantic pace and most of the wedding crashing happens in the first 15 minutes, after which they get tangled up in one family with really funny results. Not every joke […]

You know those mailers with unsolicited CDs you get if you sign up for a music club? Well I’ve missed the cut-off a few times to tell them not to send it. No problem they allow you to return it within 30 days if you didn’t like it, or you can return it unopened. Di […]

This year started off as a great year for apples. I’m a fuji fan so this is mostly targetted at that variety but it hasn’t looked much better in the other piles. The early part of the year has very tasty crispy apples and then they suddenly vanished to be repalced by the enormous, un-ripe, […]

…or somebody like him. I woke up at 3 this morning so I could go to work so I could come home at 7:30 to feed the dogs and wait for the plumber to arrive between 8:30 and 9. It’s almost 8:30 and I’m ready. Waiting, waiting, waiting… Hopefully the plumber will be able to […]

Last night I needed to find the USB floppy drive so I could fix my computer. Since there is a lot of stuff still piled in the tv room from the office flood I needed to look there. I decided to put on a movie while I searched and after finding the floppy drive, instead […]

At work I worked on changinging some code to work in a more proper but more complicated way. At the end of the day I realized that I did it wrong so I get to do it again today. On the way home I turned on to my street and remembered I wanted to go […]

You’re a Jellyfish! It seems that no matter how hard you try to conceal yourself and your thoughts, everything is still in plain view for others to see. Nonetheless, you have a knack for keeping people from exploiting this advantage by using your sharp wit and disorienting charm. You have long limbs and you know […]

It’s been known for a few years that cro-magnon and neanderthals lived in the same areas at the same time. They still don’t really know why neanderthals went away. But now there is evidence that they may have had offspring together. They found some cro-magnon bones that have distinctly neanderthal features. Maybe when you think […]
