  • Freebies in the US Mail

    I just love getting free stuff in the mail. I had signed up for the Diamond Select Toys newsletter quite a while ago and haven’t bought from them in about a year, but this morning I got a little package in the mail from them. It contained two single minimates. One was from their The…

  • The Restaurant Black Cloud Continues to Hover Over Me

    The restaurant issues continue. This time we are back to Applebees, but a different one than before. This time it was a take out order for all of us at work. We have ordered from them before and have had problems from them before as well. This time they let us order something that was…

  • Pay Me to Post Please!

    I first stumbled on PayPerPost about six months ago. At the time I had a new blog without a lot of posts. But I felt payperpost was a great opportunity not just to make money but also to help my blog grow so I worked really hard to get accepted into their program. It wasn’t…

  • Futurama Returns in 2008

    I absolutely love Futurama and was pleased as punch to see that they would be returning. But there is still a lot of confusion around this return. Billy West [he does the voice of Fry] posted on his site that the entire cast would be returning to do a straight to DVD movie. Which would…

  • Email from the Future

    Recent rounds of SPAM coming into my in box all seem to originate in the future dating any where from 2026 to 2038. Guess I don’t have to bother reading them for another 31 years!

  • What Did You Say? Dumbledore is Gay

    Rowlings outed Dumbledore this weekend at a question and answer session at Carnegie Hall in New York. A kid asked her if Dumbledore ever loved anyone, her reply was “Dumbledore is gay, actually”. Personally, I think it was brave of her to make such a statement and to stick by it. According to ABCNews.com, she…

  • Howdy Partner!

    I really, really hate the term partner when referring to an intimate relationship. When I hear the term I actually cringe. Partner just brings to mind business partners, tennis partners and cowboys. I watch a lot of BBC America and I hear the term frequently, usually when referring to a straight person’s other half. I…

  • Bumper Stickers: Good Ways to Get Your Ass Kicked

    I have had a few controversial bumper stickers in my time which have caused me to have me and my car attacked, both physically and verbally. Nuke the Gay Whales for Jesus. Well that one is just funny no matter who you are, unless of course you are a right wing zealot or overly sensitive…

  • Tornado Dreams Kept Me Twisting and Turning

    Once again my dreams come to haunt me. This time I am being chased by the weather. Tornadoes to be exact. They are getting closer and closer and there is no getting away from them. Dream analysis would say I feel trapped by my personal or professional life. Could be true. Or it could just…

  • Cannibal Dreams

    I don’t usually dream, at least not that I remember. But last night’s was a real winner. When I do remember my dreams they are often of the same city. This is not a city I have ever actually been in. It is either total fantasy or something from a past life experience. If the…

  • Superman Doomsday DVD

    I just finished watching the new DC Comics DVD Superman vs Doomsday. It was taken from the death of Superman stories, but turns out a bit different than the books. I do like the animation. It is a little like the Marvel animated movies before it. But I have two major complaints. First, the high…
