Eugene Glover Transformers – I didn’t even watch the movie, but that doesn’t stop me from dispensing opinions about it! Oh… not my own options. I didn’t even see the first film, since it looked so crap and I wasn’t a Transformers fan in the first place. No, I pass this on not so much because I … Read more
It’s probably no surprise that my refrain around my house is, “I want an iPhone 3GS.” I also happy to report that, despite not getting one for Father’s Day as perhaps I’d hoped, I did, at least, get a promissory note for one in late July/early August. (The issue is not really the upfront cost … Read more
