Complaints, complaints, complaints!
I just finished up writing my review of The Sontaran Strategem and the Poison Sky, my MacBook turned off. It was low on battery, a bit, but it hadn’t even hit the critical level yet, and it didn’t hibernate the machine, either. It just turned off. Now I have to go back to my last … Read more
I’m so disappointed! I was in Bookman’s used books yesterday and they had Michael Behe’s work classified in the science section. I can expect this sort of stuff from the big chain bookstores, but I thought Bookman’s was different.
What have the producers and writers of the X-Men movies got against Cyclops?
I ordered my Macbook last week and paid for 2-3 day expedited shipping (rather than 5-7, which usually equates to 7-8 days), and, remembering that it is TOMORROW in China, so it was really shipped on the 24th, this is ridiculous!It’s here in Phoenix, since last night, and they don’t plan to deliver until Wednesday?! Yes, today is a holiday, but that’s no excuse for it taking 7 days!!!
On general principle I don’t review frozen pizza, they’re all bad, but that doesn’t stop me from eating them occasionally. The worst pizza is still better than the best cauliflower dish and they’re so darned convenient.

At last, our Ikea sofa set arrived today, and after hours of assembly (I’ll never remove those covers for cleaning) it was finally done.

I had to go to DMV the other day to transfer title on a new car and get my drivers’ license photo updated. As you can imagine, I had a while to enjoy the ambiance of the west side DMV. One of the things they added sometime prior to 1998 (the last time I was … Read more
I haven’t been feeling well the last few days, but we managed to get out for a while today and take Michelle to the park. It was such a nice day that it felt good to get out of the house and breathe some (almost) fresh air. When we arrived at one of the playground … Read more
One of my favorite places to eat chicken is Chick-Fil-A. Generally, my only real complaint with them is that they’re run by fanatics and so they’re closed on Sundays. I think Sunday is a prime chicken-eating day, but it’s their revenue to loose, I suppose. However, today, they’ve probably lost a customer. Ever year, for … Read more
Whenever I see something that supposedly has “pizza flavor” I know it is a mistake, and yet, hope springs eternal. This little potato chip snack achieved new levels of horrid taste. It was absolutely repellant, and the flavor just kept getting worse after you’d finished eating. It was if some toxic substance was lining your … Read more
