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…

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, actuallyâ€. 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…

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…

What’s Up With Wendy’s?
Here’s another issue with food. I am really starting to think I have a black food aura or something. Okay, so this particular issue is not as big as some of my past problems with restaurants. Today at work we got our lunch at Wendy’s. One person went for it while the rest of poor…

Bad Restaurant Service Again
The bad restaurant karma continues. I don’t know what it is about me and eating out but the combination seems to be a bad one. Last Saturday we met friends at the local Appplebee’s and the service was horrible. There were only four us at the table and we were only one of a few…

Marvel Zombies Kick Zombie Butt
Zombie Spidey in 7 inch plastic is one cool looking figure. He looks just like he stepped out of the pages of the Marvel hit mini-series Marvel Zombies. His leg is even removable. [Well actually it comes in his hand and isn’t easily re-attached to the body.] And includes a base with pieces of the…

Faulty Keyword Information from Velocityscape’s SpyFu & GoogSpy Sites
I stumbled on this site [googspy.com] today that supposedly tells you who is using Google Adwords for their sites and what ranking those sites are getting with certain keywords. Funny thing is both my sites show up on theirs saying I paid for the keywords, but I have never paid for a listing in Google.…

More Bad Food Karma
My bad luck with food continues. It even extends to my cats now! Yesterday I came home with my cat’s favorite treat, Whole Life Salmon. But when I went to give him some the treats were not the same quality as the last time I bought a bag. They were thin and had the fish…

Pizza Zone Not in the Zone
I don’t know what it is with me and restaurants, but I am always having problems with them. Maybe I am just too picky, but I don’t think that’s the case. Don’t get me wrong I am picky. Food has to be good and what I ordered. But above all I am a stickler for…
