Double shipment of order from Amazon
June 23, 2015 By
Anyone ever order anything from Amazon and receive two of the item by mistake??

At first, I thought the "desk" might come in two pieces, but after opening both of them, it was obvious they'd sent me two of the same … [Read more...]
Death of James Horner
June 23, 2015 By
I think I was introduced to James Horner's film music in the early '80s with Gorky Park. This URL is the End Title of Star Trek, Wrath of Khan - and it truly is a very beautiful pice of music.

After I board <something>, before talking to NASA, I will take control of a craft in international waters without permission. That makes me a pirate! A space pirate!

Crap, got a school project team assignment due tomorrow night, having to create a VISIO diagram(s), not having the MS software on my machine (long story), running out of steam (due to spending 4 hours in the blazing sun, and not getting a good night's sleep last night), and last but not least, I'm being babysat by Lailah tomorrow so I won't have time to work on it during the day.
