Unlike most LiveJournal users, I was not that upset when LJ said they planned to put ads on users' blogs, because I assumed they would be relatively unobtrusive. Instead my blog now has this huge thing hanging off its right side like a goiter. I should have complained about the proposal when I had the chance ( Read more... )

Several months ago, I replaced my worn out broken old TV antenna with a brand new one, which turned out to work really badly. NBC is particularly suckulous.

Now, Batman is friends with Superman. So why isn't Joker in the Phantom Zone? People escape ( Read more... )
