    RANT: What happened to "customer service"?

    My mother went to Home Depot yesterday to get some shelves and fluorescent light bulbs. She was going to use the $25 gift certificate she got a month or so ago, when she was almost hit by some wooden shelves with plants on it (it was outside & it had gotten really windy). It just missed her...

    Serenity Now/Equality Now screenings

    I've been looking around at prices on the Law & Order:Criminal Intent DVD Sets, and all I keep seeing offered are Season 1, Season 3, and the Premiere Episode. Where's Season 2? I know there was a 2nd season... I'm not imagining it. If anybody knows what's up with this, I'd really appreciate...

    Medium on NBC... anybody else watching this?

    Ok, I have a new favorite show. I really, really like Medium. I love how the dead communicate with her. In fact, I've had a Witchcraft/BtVS RPG PC idea a lot like her (just the talking to dead people thing, not the other psychic abilities) in my head for a couple of years. She'd make a great...

    Made it back to Buffalo in 1 piece.

    Ok, so I got back into Buffalo last night after a long, dull train ride. I already missed my parents :( and the kittie was still at the vet for boarding :( :(, so I was kinda sad in addition to being totally beat.
