First thing:  I  was noticing that this weeks "Bones" was set in a sci-fi convention.  I was terribly excited to see this and it occured to me that at least two of my favorite shows now had con episodes.  The other obviously being "C.S.I." with the furry episode.  So I wanted to do a dvd disc of my favorite shows with sci-fi con episoed or related ( Read more... )

incoming message from Roswell, Georgia...

If anyone can hear me out there, please hear me... last week, a file was downloaded into my system.  It seemed harmless enough.  We took it in, gave it room to play, forgot it was even there.  soon, things started to go wrong.  Files that had been laying around started to disappear.  programs wouldn't ( Read more... )

Did you know that you can buy pregnancy tests in the dollar tree stores?  Are you that casual about your entire future life that you don't want to cough up the money for an accurate test.  I say this of course without any knowledge of the accuracy of tests sold in the dollar tree but the principal alone has me flabbergasted.  what kind of cheap ( Read more... )

sick as a very sick dog... with fleas and maybe a mild case of mange.  I appear to have one of those annoying colds that don't incapacitate you but merely make you miserable.  I cannot seem to shake it as I go from frozen wasteland to warm climate and back again.  Body just cannot seem to compensate for the temp shifts ( Read more... )

For those who really care (and that is a sizable group of you)  I was trolling through my newsgroup downloads and discovered something called rifftrax.  I accidentally downloaded "I am legend" and thought it was the movie but it was this odd because the movie was there but someone had put another vocal track over the original (you could hear both ( Read more... )

So, how was I unaware of how friggin cool "True Blood" on HBO was?  I caught the fourth episode last night in my hotel room and loved the concept and execution of it... plus, its set in Louisiana which is always fun.  "Fringe" is also a disgustingly funny/gross hours worth of fun.  Thank god for my easynews so that I can download and catch up with ( Read more... )

So, I am kicking up here in Andover, Mass. doing a week of fun in my private suite.  I was kind of looking forward to a low level hurricane but all I got was yet another dreary rainy day.  On the plus side though, the storm brought in some really nice waves that are kind of foreign to this place.  So a co-worker of mine and I decided to go up the ( Read more... )

No, not that poppy fun group from the 80's, but a lovely ( Read more... )
