I like how the two main movies coming out this Friday are: "Up" and "Drag Me to Hell".

Who says we don't have choices in the theater anymore?  Which direction do you want?

So I guess Washington State has a new assisted suicide law that's gone into effect.  Apparently, after you've done all the things you need to, your doctor can PRESCRIBE the drugs that will kill you, but you have to take them yourself ( Read more... )

So WHO announced today that the ol' swine flu could infect 2 billion people worldwide ( Read more... )

I just got spam mail from some place offering me a free 3 night CANCUN vacation!!

Who can resist an offer like that?

It's nice to see when perfectly good spam offers completely backfire...

I used to worry about having someone in charge that is open to keeping social freedoms alive, y'know?  But right now, I don't even care about that.  All I care about is that we've got ourselves 10 trillion ( Read more... )

I decided this post had to be separate from my last one...

I'm not a Cardinals fan by any means (at least not yet), but I am a fan of the underdog.  Last year's Superbowl was a perfect ending, as it shows how even some scrappy wild card team can take down the mighty 18-0 Patriots.  Very fitting end, and makes a great movie, right?

This year's "movie ( Read more... )

It's been a while since I posted here...

First off, though I'm getting older and most of the things associated with that aren't good, I've still found a silver lining in it all.  And that's the weird sensation you get when you see something again you haven't seen for a LONG time.
