I may have to see this again. When I saw it, it was one day before the last book came out and I wasn’t really focused, if you will. I rarely see movies twice in the theatre, but I don’t think I was fit to give this one a fair chance.
I was chosen to be one of the first fifty owners of the Chumby!
I’ve never been picked for anything before. The Chumby people say they tried to pick a cross section of the mainstream market as their first 50 and they picked me. I wish I could remember what I wrote. I remember not [...]

For some reason it’s not obeying as far as what to past ie. it’s showing weather in Florida rather than a good deal north. It’s too late on a work night to fiddle with it more right now.

On the 27 of June, Tony Blair stepped down as British Prime Minister due to pressure from the people and from within his own party. He hands the Prime Ministership to Gordon Brown.
