Heck, even if you’re stuck with an inferior theater, go see it. Was it true to the comic and/or cartoon? Hellifiknow. But it was very good. Tuesday we’re going to the Harry Potter feast, then Thursday we’re going to see some bats! Hope it doesn’t rain…

I’m posting from our new Wii! It’s pretty painful to type. ;) Better’n the DS, though. That’s all!
Originally published at Jen’s Corner. You can comment here or there. I do not understand the weirdness of my network connection. We’ve got two networks; the main one uses a linksys wireless router, hands out ip addresses, and is connected to the cable modem. It uses WPA encryption. The other uses a motorola wireless router, uses WEP encryption (gots to let the DS go online, you know!) and is connected to the linksys. This works perfectly! Computers plugged directly into either router have all the ‘net they want. Both DS handhelds connect fine, although I can’t be very far away…
If you buy during the first 36 hours of the sale, we’ll donate $25 of your purchase price among four organizations: RAINN, Witness, the EFF and Creative Commons. And if you want your donation to go to just one of the organizations you can instruct us to do that too. So each group gets 1/4 of $25 for each permanent account? Nice gesture, anyway. Many people have expressed their outrage and dissatisfaction with Six Apart policies far better than I. So, I’ll just use an image. News post – LJ Biz post The process of backing up my journal, and…
Originally published at Jen’s Corner. You can comment here or there. So I’ve been trying to read food labels more lately; basically trying to avoid food from China, and high fructose corn syrup. My $DEITY, that crap is in everything. I’m also less enamored of artificial sweeteners too. Jif peanut butter? HFCS. I bought organic. Hope I like it. Smuckers jelly? HFCS. I bought HEB brand More Fruit – it’s got a minimum of ingredients. The husband likes Smart Start cereal. High Fucking Fructose Corn Syrup. o_O I bought him Cap’n Crunch Crunch Berries instead – fewer calories, less sodium,…
Originally published at Jen’s Corner. You can comment here or there. June is turning out to be a busy month! Well, busy for us, that is. :) Got the garage door opener and water heater installed, two vet appointments so far – old cat and kitten stuff. This week is a long overdue hair appointment on Tuesday; a delivery of more media storage on Wednesday, as well as the Princess Bride Quote-Along; and Saturday is a Drew Curtis (FARK) book signing at BookPeople. If that weren’t enough, I get to go to the circus later this month as well! I’ve…
Originally published at Jen’s Corner. You can comment here or there. A new Spec’s opened near us, so we decided to check it out today. Man, it’s a lush’s paradise! It’s huge – for you Austinites, it’s where Acadamy Sports used to be down on Lamar and 290. Anyway, wow. Acres of beer, booze, and wine, plus lots of cheese, chocolate, and other fancy junk food. My kinda place. I’ve figured out that yes, I really do like beer, and so I’ve been picking up all sorts of different interesting beers. For example, right now I’m drinking an Arrogant Bastard…
Originally published at Jen’s Corner. You can comment here or there. So at almost 7 years in this house, we’ve finally got a garage door opener installed. It’s amazing – you push a button, and the garage door goes up! Push it again, and it goes down! No more getting out in the rain making Rob get out in the rain, no more having to go in through the house to open it because I never could get the bloody key to work properly – at least without struggling for a minimum of five minutes. Doesn’t take much to make…
