Random Acts of Mind by Dones

Between the addition of 8 hours of school this semester, family coming into town for Labor Day weekend, Madden ’08 for the Wii, and the first season of Heroes coming out on DVD, I’m swamped. In other news, I’m in the market for a video camera, so beware. Lastly, we have decided to resume the [...]

Please note that reviews for the Harry Potter Book 7, as well as the film and video game versions of Book 5, have all been posted today. So, I wanted to draw your attention to all 3 posts from today, in addition to this one. I apologize for the delay in getting these reviews out, [...]

I really do remember that I have a blog. Stuff has been crazy with work offering me all kinds of decisions to make for my future, trying to buy & sell houses, and doing family stuff. I have a lot to catch up on, notably my Transformers review (I saw the sneak preview last Monday [...]

Apparently my camera phone’s ability to send photo messages was lost somewhere between LA and Vegas, as I’ve taken a lot of photos and tried to send them, to no avail. It won’t connect to wherever it has to connect to send photos. It must be the spirit of Las Vegas keeping me from sharing [...]

Well, the biggest chore: the safe migration of my blog posts back to this server has been accomplished. If anyone cares, here is the guy to whom the thanks are due, as he created the WordPress script for migrating from the Blogger Beta. Now I just have to finish tweaking the template and adding my [...]

Trot over to blog.metamorphilia.com to check out my new template (thus far). Please let me know what you think of it, and give me feedback as to anything that appears broken. I know IE 6 is messing it up, but it looks great in Firefox & Mozilla. Is the text too small or too large [...]
