Problem with phone
Not that most of you ever CALL me ... but I am having issues with my cell phone. It no longer gives me speaker when talking on the phone, nor can folks who call me hear me, except sporadically when I use a headset.

Don't go to X-files!
If you really must see this movie, I say wait for DVD. I was sooooooo disapointed. Perhaps it doesn't help that I never stuck it out for the last X-files TV season (Mulder and Scully have a child named Willam??) but this script is so uneven and stilted, it's hard to sit through. I was trying to be charitable towards it, but like a demon seed child ( Read more... ) -
Way too funny!
So I was reading an article about creating strong passwords, and it mentioned something about lolcats which is a wikipedia reference. These are basically animal photos (usually cats) captioned with a particular form of pidgin English. There was also a link to: this site with just tons of these photos. So if you need a good laugh, check it out. Some ( Read more... ) -

I just read about this event which is to benefit the Center for Advanced Brain Tumor Treatment at Swedish. Since my mom died of brain cancer two years ago, I thought I' ( Read more... )
