This will be my last post before the Turn of the Decade. This afternoon, I'll be heading out for a vacation to the Outer Banks, as usual!

For those following me on Facebook, I had a great Christmas.

Much better than the old tablet I got from Peter (wolfchylde), which I felt had more control over me than I it. And when I get myself accustomed to this thing, you can tell that I have big plans for this thing ( Read more... )

I later heard that it made $76 million at the box office on its opening weekend (warp-speeding past X-Men Origins: Wolverine in its second week, and being the highest-grossing Star Trek movie ever!), and its box- ( Read more... )

After several long weeks of waiting, I finally got DirecTV today! Installation was pretty long and arduous, but I am really enjoying it. It looks great on our HDTV, especially the HD channels!

Also got some more DVDs in the past week! I was surprised to find Snoopy's Reunion (which came with It's Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown) this past Tuesday! ( Read more... )
