Good bye Netflix
Since Netflix is planning to almost double the cost of my plan starting September, I'm canceling my account and probably switching to Hulu Plus for my legal streaming TV watching needs.

I woke up today...
...and discovered my sense of humor went off on vacation without me.
Inflict me with your funnies, people. Intentional. Otherwise. LOLcats. Egregious puns.
Do your worst. -
Go go go to Making Light. NOW!
