Asking out Anne

This is the bit that I have to have memorized for tomorrow’s soliloquy testing.

Now. All I have to do is actually dial her number, and I’ll have this down pat. Although… I’ve asked out the dial tone so many times, maybe she’ll go out with me.

Blobfest 2005

The BlobYesterday was our 7-year wedding anniversary (married in 1998), and to “celebrate” Berta and I went out to Phoenixville to attend a screening of “The Blob” at Blobfest 2005.

The Blob (no, not “Blob the Builder”) is a film about a meteor that falls to Earth containing some kind of blob-like creature that gets bigger when it dissolves human flesh. The main character, played by Steve McQueen tries to warn the town against this terror, but he simply can’t get people to believe him.

So you might wonder why there is a Blobfest for such a B-movie horror flick. Well, it’s because The Blob was filmed right in this area. In fact, the theater in which we watched The Blob yesterday was actually in the movie!

Firefox Hotkeys

Is it just me or was it a poor decision to use the backspace key as a hotkey for the Back button in Firefox?

I mean, assuming you’re typing something into a form, the last thing you want to do is click the Back button and lose all of it. Especially if you’re typing something long, where you’re more likely to use the backspace key.
