I wish this were about Star Trek. If that were out on DVD it would be my happy place. Instead it's about everyone's favorite topic of late: healthcare. Yep. Another one. This one is slightly less ranty, though I do discuss slippery slope arguments toward the end ( Read more... )

I never wanted to live in Shermer, Illinois.

I really never wanted to be Molly Ringwald.

I don't even think I've ever sat through Pretty in Pink or Sixteen Candles.

But I loved, and continue to adore to this day, The Breakfast Club. It is one of my all-time favorite movies.

R.I.P. John Hughes. And thanks.

1) I acquired Pushing Daisies season 2 today. I never did see the final three episodes, though rumour has it they were available on ABC's website for some time. However, I am making myself rewatch the entire season in order rather than simply starting with the final three episodes ( Read more... )

1) I was very pleasantly surprised to find The Colour of Magic on DVD at a Wal-Mart today. There just aren't many people in this are who would have any idea what The Colour of Magic is, and I frankly wouldn't have even expected to spot the DVD in a Wal-Mart in Greensboro or in Lexington, KY. It's just not a Wal-Mart sort of thing. I know for a fact ( Read more... )

Now that I've ranted, managing to annoy at least one person and affecting/damaging how I don't know how many others view me (though really, if you know anything about me at all, nothing I posted should have been a surprise), it's time to post about some other random things that have pissed me off or amused me or that I just want to ramble about ( Read more... )

You are hereby warned that this is a rant and it is political in nature. Also, it is not in support of the current health care reform bills being bandied about by Congress. So if you think they're on the right track and doing what needs to be done, you might want to stop reading right now. Just saying ( Read more... )

1) I will not complain about jerkface attorneys here ( Read more... )

I live in the mountains, and when I say that, I mean that I live miles away from the nearest small town and surrounded by woods. True, my little holler is more crowded than it was when I was a child (there are now six houses within close walking distance of one another instead of two), but we're still country out here ( Read more... )

While the clients are usually the most interesting part of my legal day, sometimes it's other attorneys ( Read more... )

Last night school administrators for Bonny Eagle High School in Maine had to have been horrified to find that a story about their graduation ceremony (in which a student was denied his diploma for blowing a kiss to his mother) had hit the front page of Yahoo. Just a few short years ago, if anyone outside of that small community heard about this ( Read more... )
