Has anyone else heard of this movie besides me? I am sure by now you all have and up until this point I have not spoken about it anywhere.However, I talked to the writer of this film on Sunday and when I get the time to get my thoughts together I will post about our conversation.
Stay tuned.

Lately I have been getting tons of spam in my gmail account and I am sure it is because of the amount of people who add my name to their e-mails lists or whatever you call them.You know those mass e-mails people send out with your e-mail address in plain sight for all the other people on the list to see…? Well that is what I am talking about.
I never give people permission to just add me to these lists but they do it anyway.Then they start sending out information on crap that I could care less about.But what these lists really do is just open me and everyone else whose name appear on them, open to spam attacks which is what is happening to me now.
If I log into my account and find another offer for Viagra or penis enlargement gadgements, I will scream.
Several people contacted me about this so I decided to post what are hopefully simple instructions on signing up for and using gravatars.
First, Gravatars are Globally Recognized avatars that show up beside your comments on blogs that have the gravatar feature enabled.Once you sign up for one, they will appear on every blog you post to if that blog allows gravatars.
Now, you must choose an e-mail address you want to use to sign up for a gravatar and that same e-mail address must be used wherever you post and wish for your gravatar to be seen.Your gravatar is linked to your e-mail address, so if you register with one e-mail address, and then use another on a gravatar enabled blog, it will not show up.This is usually the mistake people make and then wonder why they never see their gravatars on sites like mine and others that use the gravatar feature.

After not getting any love from Technorati for months now, I have decided to throw in the towel and stop tagging and sending them traffic.Instead I am going to use the Ultimate Tag Warrior plugin that simply allows me to tag all the posts here on the blog.So rather than clicking on tags that lead to Technorati, when you click the tags it will lead you to other like posts on this site.

Me and Guy took the kids to see X-Men today and the entire time I was sitting in the theater, all I could think was “Dang, they need to turn the sound down”.I was sure some other grown folks felt the same way I did and as I looked around for other people who looked like their ears were about to explode, I saw none.
I remember when I was young my Granmother was constantly telling me to turn the music down.She said she was old and couldn’t take loud noise.Funny, she was in her 60’s when she said that and some 20 years later I am now feeling as she did, only I am 34.
Loud music drives me up the wall and with children ranging in age from 9-15 running through my house, you best believe loud music is in abundance.It’s funny how things come full circle in life.More and more I remind myself of the women in my family who came before me.
