Will Real Levar Burton Please Stand Up
I recently signed up for Twitter after hearing about it for a rather long time from all my techno geek friends. (You’ll see whataslacker’s Tweets over there on the bottom of the right-hand column there.) Basically it is micro blogging at its best. You type a 140-character post, or tweet, and it goes out to…

What the hell was People magazine thinking?
People magazine has named Matt Damon the sexiest man alive. So who died and moved him up the evolutionary latter to get that honor? They really must be nuts. Either that or his publicist is sleeping with someone at the magazine. Has to be that because all the money in the world couldn’t make him…

Pirates 3
Went to see Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World’s End. [At our usual time. The first showing of the day on Saturday morning. We will never see a film at night again the local audiences are too disrespectful of the other film patrons.] It was pretty good. The first two are better but this really ties…

Will we see the rest of the season?
I just heard that Lifetime has only picked up the first 13 episodes of Blood Ties. And if the ratings are good enough that maybe we will get to see the rest of the series. Â I am just getting into this series [and getting used to actually watching something on Lifetime TV] and really would…
