Overheard At Star Wars

Monday, May 20th, 2002

I’m sure you have all seen it by now, so I won’t bore you with my review, but I can’t help but pass on a few quick quips I overheard Saturday night. As you have probably noticed, companies have begun airing commercials along with previews before your favorite movies. I personally despise the practice, but […]

California Dreaming

Friday, May 17th, 2002

I always knew California existed on a completely different universe than the rest of us, but sometimes they out do themselves. Two recent school related stories have surfaced from the great state of confusion, both are equally disturbing. One is of a stripper mom forced to choose between her job and her daughter’s school. You […]

Banishment Overview

Thursday, May 16th, 2002

In the spirit of fun and my universal disgust with everything, I have created a banishment category for my page. Any one, any where is eligible, all they have to do is annoy me or one of you. I will get us started, but you may submit your own request at any time by e-mailing […]

Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Fairfax County, Virginia is renowned for its advanced studies in Math, Science, and Technology. Its students are the best of the best, national merit scholars, top internships, cutting edge research, these kids are our future.

Ho Hum TV

Monday, May 13th, 2002

Forget “Must See”, NBC (now referred to as the Nothing else Better Channel) announced their “stunning” fall line-up today. Truth be told, I still haven’t forgiven them for cancelling The Pretender a few years ago, but exactly what market are they after, the one foot in the grave? I haven’t seen a less imaginative, less […]

A Very Special Wish

Sunday, May 12th, 2002

I don’t usually write on Sunday’s, but today I will make an exception for two very special people in my life. First, Happy Mother’s Day, Mom! Even though you don’t have a computer, and you wouldn’t know how to turn it on if you did, I just want to say thanks for always believing in […]

Champagne Wishes And Caviar Dreams

Saturday, May 11th, 2002

This really isn’t a rant, more of an observation, but I saw something today that should cheer up anybody having a bad day. I’ve been a little depressed lately and kinda feeling sorry for myself, but this definitely helped put things in perspective. I was headed to the movies with my husband, and since we […]

Ignorance Is Contagious

Friday, May 10th, 2002

More than 1,200 morons from this great planet have visited petitiononline.com to sign a request asking Lord of The Ring’s director Peter Jackson to change the name of the next installment of the trilogy. Apparently, these bottom feeders feel The Two Towers is too remniscent of the Twin Towers disaster and the movie should be […]

Just Don’t Call Him “Stalker”

Wednesday, May 8th, 2002

Anyone who knows me, knows there are two sure things in my life, I have no use for Sharon Stone OR Nicole Kidman. This week I have done two things I never thought I would do-I willingly bought a magazine with Nicole’s face on the cover (People), and I am about to talk about her […]

Now, I’m Pissed

Tuesday, May 7th, 2002

I got my first credit card right after high school, and I was so excited, it had a crappy limit, but at least I could afford to have a few things for my dorm. I had a store card before, but my first major credit card was a Discover card. These days money’s not so […]
