Netflix recommendations
So, I finally did it -- I joined Netflix. I signed up for the two-at-a-time, unlimited plan for $15/month. I've rated about 100 movies and have 30-something in my queue. My first selection(s) are due to ship tomorrow, which means I might get them on Saturday (probably not till Monday, though). By the way, they're Ray and Garden StateNow I want ( Read more... ) -

I did a little digging and came up with a contact page for Google Maps. I submitted the following ( Read more... )More post-hurricane coverage
Tonight was the first time in a week or more since I've looked at any Katrina coverage -- on TV, online, anything. I've avoided it, tried to live my life. Honestly, I've just been so busy and exhausted. Of course, I've heard bits and pieces, mostly through my family ( Read more... )
