Rest in peace, Gir. You were the bravest rat I knew, with a soft side. You are leaving a hole bigger than you know.1/2008 - 1/4/2010 6:00 pm

Good bye, Zim. You were the most loving rat I've known (ok, so only one of two, but you know what I mean).1/2008 - 9/16/2009 (12:05 am)Note (1/19/2010): I changed the above picture from the original, because the original was of Gir. This picture is a better one of Zim, because it really captured his personality.

Ok, so here is something that goes on at my apartment complex.  Each group of buildings has one laundry room.  Our group of three buildings has one laundry room with 3 washers, and 3 dryers.  From time to time, someone will use all three washing machines, leaving none for others that may want to do their laundry.When I do my laundry, I usually stick to using just one washer and dryer.  I will

Ok, this just should not happen when you try to bake potatoes in the microwave. I normally am able to do this fine....except for this time!What Happened?!

We picked up an iPod mini the other day (Thursday to be exact). It is really cool! I did not realize how much I would like this. I have been able to copy all the MP3s that I have, with room to spare! Guess that means I can rip more of my CDs to MP3s. :-)

Ok, for those of you who would like to see more photos from WizardCon, here you go:Cosplay.com GalleryThose photos are at the gallery Lee Anne has at Cosplay.com. She has been busy at work uploading the majority of the pictures that we took at the convention. I think I remember her saying there is something like around 80 photos there?! Wow!Well, I hope you enjoy them.-Charlie-

The Darth Side: Memoirs of a Monster This is a really cool website! The author takes you inside the mind of Darth Vader throughout the Star Wars trilogy. There are several funny moments to it as well. He had left a link where you can read it in chronological order. Also, there is a link to download the entire journal in PDF format. :-)

Ok, I have just finished posting some pictures from the convention we went to over the weekend. Really cool thing! There was so much to see there. Really famous people, not so famous people, etc. There were tons and tons of comic books, so if that was all you were after, you were in heaven. Even then, there were plenty of other pieces of merchandise to be had (we made off with quite a bit!).Well,

The guy in the red shirt is controlling him! He said this is the second R2 he has built, and it took him 2 1/2 years to do it!! Sounds like a long time, but look at the amazing results! :-)

It's not that I have not heard of this word or idea before, I just have never taken the time to see what it is about. It's funny, because statistically I am in the age group that is fluent in this sort of thing. Well, better late than never, that's what I was always told.The hard part about starting my first
