What is the deal with people deciding that their child needs a goofily-spelled name? I’m not talking about names where there are more than one socially acceptable versions already out there such as Geoffrey/Jeffrey or Deborah/Debra. I’m talking about all the other names that we as a society thought we already knew how to spell but apparently didn’t.This comes to… Read more »
I have been waging war against my face most of my life. I guess I should clarify- war against the skin on my face is a better way to put it. And lately the war has gotten worse. When I look in the mirror I first see the things I don’t like- I think most people do. I notice the… Read more »

I bought a Droid today. I am not going to torture myself any longer. Not sure when I will be able to actually run it halfway decently. That is going to take some time- this is a very complicated toy I got 🙂
