One of the many wonderful comedies made during the Great Depression, Theodora Goes Wild explores a young woman’s quest for freedom in a society where tight constraints are the norm. The film’s humorous and entertaining look at some of the hang-ups of the period is a very fun way to spend about 90 minutes. [...]
» Go to this postA few months ago, I wrote this review of the WD My Book Pro Edition II drive. I hereby rescind anything positive I said about it. I am at the end of my patience with this drive, and Western Digital’s technical support has failed me.My three BIG problems with the drive are as follows:

» Go to this postLogged into my Technorati account late last week to check my profile settings, and guess what I saw on my photo page? Granted, the message wasn’t for me, it was for every Technorati user, but I thought it was hilarious nonetheless:

On my way to work this morning, I had this guy behind me, in a Mercedes E class nonetheless, who kept clawing at his face, picking stuff off it (possibly pimples), and examining whatever he found. He did this for 15 minutes straight, right behind me. I couldn’t help looking, I always monitor my rear [...]
» Go to this postMichael J. Fox appeared in some TV ads recently, to support stem cell research for Parkinson’s disease. The ads showed him moving uncontrollably, due to Parkinson’s. They were candid, and truthful. I’ve always liked Michael as an actor, and I thought he’s been a real gentleman throughout his ordeal with Parkinson’s. I agree with him, [...]

Can you believe how little these girls think of themselves? When any dummy with a video camera can talk to [...]
I’ve come across so many pungent body odors lately that I’m led to assume personal hygiene is no longer important to people.
Just yesterday, I was in a department store, and two different people smelled so bad I almost vomited as they walked by me. They’re not isolated incidents, either. I’ve seen people of all walks [...]
I recently read an article entitled “Letting Go of Difficult Clients“, written by Amy Berger and featured in the August 2006 issue of The Costco Connection. I do not agree with the views she expresses there.
While there are times when a relationship with a client has to be severed, none of the conditions presented by [...]
In Italy, a priest’s gotten so fed up with girls coming to church with bare midriffs, that he’s posted a sign on the entrance, saying: “God knew what your navel looked like even before you were born, so there is no need to expose it in church.”
