  • June is Adopt a Cat Month

    June is Adopt a Cat Month so I think you should all go out right now and adopt a little kitty! My friends at One By One have cats for adoption at all the local Petsmart and Petco stores. So finding a little guy to save should not be a problem. In fact this sweet…

  • Bat Boy The Musical

    No it’s not another superhero musical that’s about to fail on Broadway like Spider-man has. Neither Batman nor Robin make an appearance in this show. This musical is based on the Weekly World News story of the Bat Boy. You remember that tabloid don’t you? It used to be right next to the Enquirer in…

  • I Want It Wednesday: 3D Cameras

    I have always LOVED 3D movies and photography. I have even been playing with a little bit with my digital camera. But all those images must be of things and not people since you have to take two pictures for every one 3D. Well now there are not only 3D digital cameras but 3D camcorders…

  • Donations to the ARL and Other Stuff

    For the last couple of years Boris (that’s my cat) and I have been making donations and helping out our local animal shelters. When I make the donations I like to personal deliver them to the animals and take pictures of their little faces lighting up when they get a toy or a treat. Sometimes…

  • Poor Rick Santorum

    If you haven’t heard it before you will most likely hear about it shortly. Sen. Rick Santorum has a problem with Google (well not just Google but all the search engines really, but apparently he uses and blames Google the most). When you search for his name a nasty website tops the charts. This was…

  • Happy Mother’s Day

    A mother’s kiss can make an owie go away. A mother’s homemade soup can cure the flu. A mother’s hug can make all the cares in the world disappear. I miss that.

  • SCIFIpawty Contest: Win an Autographed Go-Go’s CD

    Being a child of the 80s the Go-Go’s are a big deal to me. They were one of the first bands I really liked and I still like their music even if it isn’t like all the other dark, gloomy, heavy stuff I usually listen too. The Go-Go’s will remain a favorite band of mine.…

  • Oprah Takes Over The World

    I first heard about OWN: the new Oprah Winfrey Network when my cable company informed me that Discovery Health would be turning into OWN.  I enjoyed the late night shows on Discovery Health and new Oprah’s new network really wasn’t going to be something I wanted to watch. So when SheSpeaks.com gave me the opportunity…

  • Well At Least I Am Still A Pisces

    I did not pay too much attention to the new star signs when the news first hit as I am not into astrology, but I do find it interesting that along with moving some of the dates they have added a whole new sign to the line up. Several of my friends and family have…

  • The Terrible Things That People Do

    Yesterday when I went out to get my lunch I glanced at the newsstand where I saw an adorable kitty face looking back at me. Then I read the headline and I was simply heart broken. The kitty had been shot by some unknown assailant with a small caliber weapon or pellet gun. Shatter 11…

  • Worlds Best Cat Litter

    It really isn’t just a self-aggrandizing name, it really is the World’s Best Cat Litter. I won a bag in a contest on Twitter and tried it out on our cats and I just loved it and so did the cats. It is almost dustless, which was so nice when filling the box. No cloud…

  • Snickers Peanut Butter YUM

    I had an opportunity to sample the new Snickers Peanut Butter candy bars, at least I would have if I wasn’t allergic to peanuts! So I did a private sampling with all my co-workers and friends. The overall opinion was that is was a very tasty candy bar. This only made me want to try…

Got any movie recommendations?
