Lets see how I do on this. I like starting memes far more than I enjoy the thought of participating in one ( Read more... )

So Facebook has a 15 Favorite Characters Meme. I thought it might be more interesting in Livejournal. Note that these characters are from my childhood. I would have a totally different list now. I am trying to keep myself back to pre-high school stuff.

So. Within a mere 5 days I will reach my 40th birthday. Its a pretty amazing thing to think about. Often I say I want to live to be 130 so that I can live through 3 centuries (the 20th the 21st and a bit of the 22nd). Nowadays I think I've had a pretty good run and am not sure if I would take the offer if it were presented to me in some real ( Read more... )

I am dissapointed that the Republicans Swept the house in such large numbers. I feel that anyone making less than $500,000 a year or so that votes Republican is voting against their own interests. There are some that vote on 'moral' issues. My mom will basically vote for whomever promises to outlaw abortions, despite the fact that Roe v. Wade is ( Read more... )

It was a little more "sexy" than I would generally have my kids watch, ( Read more... )

For the last 4 years really, the Economy has been for crap. I've seen many friends lose their jobs, sometimes multiple times. I've seen some friends lose their houses. Really good and competent people have been looking for work for months or even a year or so. Over the past couple days I have talked to people who confided that the uncertain economy ( Read more... )

I've been listening to a lot of movie podcasts recently. One (The Movielicious) only generally reviews current movies while the other (FilmSack) reviews older movies, largely for nostalga value. Both shows talk a fair bit about what is a spoiler and what is ok to talk about and when its ok to spoil and the like ( Read more... )

One of my LJ buddies introduced me to http://www.wordle.net which makes a fun word cloud of text you put in. I entered in my livejournal. It appears to have pulled from the first few entries. I got this:
