I have to remind myself that I need to buy that bootleg copy of Spellbinder from the bootleg DVD guy at MicroCon --;. I wasn't sure if his copy contained series 2, Spellbinder 2: Land of the Dragon Lord. Fox Family Channel only showed part of the series before it was completely pulled off the air for some unknown reason. I NEVER got to see the ( Read more... )

We recently got the Science Museum of Minnesota's periodic newsletter for members. One snippet highlighted the premiere of the new Omnitheater movie about Hurricane Katrina where all members were invited to attend.

On Sunday, I watched the much anticipated Sesame Street 35th birthday special The Street We Live On. I was a bit disappointed it wasn't as fun as Sesame Street's previous specials, but the kids probably loved it. I guess I'm just nostalgic for the old ( Read more... )

What happened to me yesterday? On my way home from Subway for lunch, my windshield fogged up from the inside. When I turned on the defrost, clear green liquid spat from under the dashboard XP! I knew the car was leaking a bit, but nothing funny happened until then! Turns out the heating coil system which stores the antifreeze was broken and ( Read more... )

The whole Arnold Schwarzenegger being elected governor of CA, is déjà vu for me and most other Minnesotans probably due to ex-MN governor, Jesse Ventura --;! I see that CA, or Jay Leno at least, has already 'stolen' our old slogan, "Our governor can beat up your governor!" This really IS Ventura all over again. Soon, CA will be littered with " ( Read more... )

Sigh, I know she probably won't see this, but:
