What’s a budget for?

Sunday, December 28th, 2008

Obviously my mom does not understand as she went waaaay overboard this Christmas for all of us. In the end, the bounty included a Wii for each couple (Yes, they bought 3 Wii’s…..one for themselves). So, if you have a Wii, send me your address and we can hook up sometime. Now [...]

It has gotten this bad.  It has a definition:
SEXTING…….You’ve got to be F’n kidding me!!!
Yeah, uh parents, why do your kids have cell phones with functionality beyond calls?  Oh wait, it’s not the parents fault, must be someone elses.

Webisodes?

Friday, December 5th, 2008

It seems that recently more and more of the TV standards are turning their marketing forces to the internet.  Heroes pushes their web based spin off weekly while another one of my favorite shows, Psych, has a web based cartoon.  Recently, due to my new obsession of Fantasy Football, I picked up on Kenny Mayne’s [...]
