So I just realized yesterday that Sailor Moon is a gateway drug. I doubt I'd have ever gotten into anime if it weren't for Sailor Moon.

So, summer ended today. I was looking forward to a couple months of summer but this year it only started getting warm in July and it already turned cool. As Beth told Rachel, "it's a beautiful, sunny fall day, today." Oh well, at least that means for another month or so we should have fairly pleaant fall-like conditions, but with lots of sun. After ( Read more... )

Finally, FINALLY, the weather has gotten up into the 80's. I was so sick of 60-something degree weather in June and early July. I suppose it to much to hope for weather in the 90's. I know that people who live in the South are wondering why I'm complaining when the weather is in the 80's. I understand that it is very pleasant in the summers here ( Read more... )

I read this today. I just about fell out of my chair. Its rare to see something like this being reported on in the news.

My favorite part is: "But my suggestion is that we should read the text as it is, not as we think it is."

Well said, well said.

However we waited in the waiting room until about midnight to be seen after arriving around 7:30. Apparently it was unseasonably busy there. On top of that a tornado passed through town and they had to wheel ( Read more... )

I know that most people have a problem with their in-laws or their in-laws have a problem with them. This is normal. I do not believe that the relationship that I have with Beth's family is normal. I won't go into a play-by-play. For the most part I have kept our issues off this forum since I don't think that its anyone's business and because I ( Read more... )

Well where to begin. Its been 3 months since I've posted but even then I was writing little of consequence. In the past this page has mostly been a space for me to tell people my opinion on various pieces of pop culture and then as a page usually to complain about anything that I wanted to complain about usually relating to doctors or the stupidity ( Read more... )

Well tomorrow is Pi Day because its 3/14.

I'm not sure if its worse that someone was geeky enough to think it up or that I think that is terribly hilarious but apparently the scientific community observes it ( Read more... )

Wow, anthropomorphizing him makes it even sadder.

Disney has announced that Volume 5 of the X-Men animated series which ran from 1993-1998 will be released, completing the series. You don't know how much of a relief this has been for me. Disney has a poor track record with animated release. Both Gargoyles and the Tick were only partially released and I had a bad feeling that they would say that 4 ( Read more... )
