Worst Week is Worst Series
Worst Week was the worst series premiere so far. I think it just might keep that title too. It was actually painful to watch. It was very predictable and not in the least bit funny. The characters weren’t the least bit interesting or compelling. At least CBS thought ahead and stuck this at the end…

Dreams of Theaters, Bikers and Lesbians oh my
I just had one of the weirdest dreams. But then again what dream isn’t a bit strange? I am in a hotel room with about three other people. I think they are friends or family, but I never identify them in the dream I only feel familiar with them. We are on computers, working, playing…

Arrr Talk Like A Pirate Today or Walk The Plank
Well blow me down, apparently today is the official International Talk Like a Pirate Day. This little known holiday started all the way back in 1995 while a group of guys were playing racquetball and one of the yelled out in pain “Arrrr!” Personally, I did not become aware of this holiday until someone at…

Another Bomb Scare in West Chester
Folks in West Chester are still a little jumpy after the bomb scare yesterday. Apparently another suspicious bag was found near a park bench today. Turned out to be a bag of clothing, but you never know. Better safe than sorry right? Makes me a little leery of shopping at Radio Shack. Just yesterday I…

Which is Better the Dentist or a Bomb?
Normally I do not usually put going to the dentist above anything, not even work, but I have to say I am glad I was at the dentist today. Driving to the dentist I heard about a massive police action in West Chester where I work. At first it only sounded like it was one…

First Day Out After No Smoking Goes Into Effect
We went out to eat for the first time since the new PA ban on smoking went into effect. I have to say it was great walking through the front of the California Bar and Grill without having to deal with all those smokers in the restaurant. It really did make our eating experience so…

Yeah PA Adopts a No Smoking Law (sort of)
PA No Smoking Law went into effect yesterday. Of course this has pissed off a slew of smokers, but as a non-smoker and someone who is actually allergic to smoke I am very happy to see this law finally come to Pennsylvania. Smoking really is a filthy, dirty habit and your lungs will thank the…

I Want It Wednesday: Microscope
Looking out at the universe isn’t my only hobby. I really enjoyed microbiology and love looking at the microverse. Viewing tiny, little creepy crawlies is fun. And with this microscope it would be really fun. Instead of the standard eyepiece it has an LCD screen to view the little buggers. There is also an SD…

Haunted Bird Feeder V1.1
A little while ago I shared a post about a little Halloween project I had been working on. I had customized a haunted bird feeder. I am still tweeking it a little bit. One thing that I still need to do is to add some UV LEDs one the outside of the house to make…

Thoughts on Jodi
I am not really the Jodi Foster fan in the family, I just get pulled along for the ride, so to speak. While I do enjoy most of her films, I am not ga-ga over her like some people I know. So then, why am I writing about her today? Sometimes one of the keyword…

Assimilation Is Not a Family Value
I have had this bumper sticker on my car for more than two years, maybe even three by now and every time my mom sees it she asks me what it means. So I explain about the borg and assimilation etcetera and hope that will be the end of it (we do not speak of…
Got any movie recommendations?
