SCOOTER UPDATE: She’s feeling a bit better after we saw Dr. Child — Dr. Child has a much better bedside manner than the other two doctors in the office. Plus, she’s a cat owner. Cat owners make better cat vets than dog owners (and vice versa). She changed Scooter’s medicine levels to 1-1/2 pills per […]
One of the most popular posts I’ve made on this blog in terms of readership has been Why Dell Sucks and Blows! Don’t Buy A Dell! (aka Dell Hell). Although it’s only got 23 comments, I’ve received tons of e-mails — probably close to 1,000 from all over the world. Amazingly, they’ve all shared experiences […]

And goes on […]
Wow. It’s been a while since I’ve done the weekend back-to-back film thing. First up was Stardust (A Neil Gaiman story) with my friends Kris and Thomas. Neil’s a fantastic writer, so I was very pleased to see his name on this and very sceptical that it would be done right as most films aren’t. […]
I went to the Chiropractor today. My shoulder feels noticeably better right now, but overall, it will return to crap in a few hours. I hate that. The pain has slowly been moving further towards the top. My AC at home is still not behaving properly and it’s got me pissed off. I’ll revisit this […]
