As I was saying the other day, while waiting for my car to be repaired, I was in the lobby of the Express Lube where there was a Television for the customers with G4 playing. On the show the Model/Actress/Bimbo/Gamer/Host was talking about the game, World of Warcraft being turned into a film.

A kid that was in the lobby said, "Why can't games just be games and movies be movies?"

Going further, I wondered why books can't be books and plays be plays?

I propose a ban on any cinema that isn't original!

My neighbor is a fashion student who pays her way through school turning Men's White briefs (underwear) into Women's Tops. Okay, they look good if they're not used, but I don't want to wear my underwear anywhere else but on my ass. Why can't tighty whiteys be tighty whiteys?

Why should cinema be a dumping ground for works created in other forms?

By the way, I spent a few bucks shy of $1000 on my car, maybe I'm a lil' fussy...

Still in a spending mood, I bought a new digital camera! I have been borrowing my friend Steve's camera and wanted to get a newer version of that model. His is a Canon that takes 2 megapixel pictures, so I found one that gets 7.1 megapixels, but the price was $480!!!

Using skills I learned from reading, "The Game," I sweet-talked a cute young manager into letting me have a HUGE discount... I got it at $230! But I have to buy her dinner and a movie... It's not what you think... I don't believe I have to be with her at the time of the movie or dinner.

Happy and feeling powerful, I walked to my car holding the camera. It is so much lighter than Steve's and the case is smooth and slick. I had the camera less than 10 minutes and I drop it to the pavement!

If I had of just dropped it, I think it would have been okay, but I tried catching it in mid-fall and ended up juggling it before it bounced and skittered across a curb, sliding under my car.

Dinged and slightly battered, just like my car and me, I still love it! Now I don't have to worry about scratching it!
