I finally have internet again. Feels like forever that I haven't had to check something or post something on my Blackberry.
I watched Desperate Housewives this morning. I know its just one of those froofy, guilty pleasure shows but I really liked this episode. The idea that one person can mean so much to so many people in different ways , blah blah blah. Its made me sentimental all morning.

I don't have internet and I'm using precious data minutes on my blackberry. But I HAVE to know what happened on the last ten minutes on The Unit tonight.

The latest Torchwood news here makes me all sad and shit. (No spoilers, just news on next season).
The latest Doctor Who news from someone on my flist,
mrbig1316, is upsetting as well. ( Under hereCollapse )
*sigh*
The current Doctor Who wank is... stupid, like wank often tends to be. It's funny how fandoms end up filtering into classes just as in RL. Too bad most of where I end up in fandoms tends to be what is considered the lower class. Just call me white trash.
I need Burn Notice to start. I need my Bruce fix.

My Tiger Cub Scouts have graduated and will be moving on to their next rank, Wolf. My assistant leader and I are throwing the boys a party. I want to do a slideshow of pics from the last year. I know the song I want biut I don't have Powerpoint or capabilities at hand. What's a cheap way to do this?
People are assholes.
Someone dumped a kitten in my garbage can. They came onto my property and put a kitten IN my garbage can. I found her when I went to take the garbage out.
I had a friend bring me some kitten formula and she's eating it good. But what else do I need to look out for? I have NO money to take her to the vet to get checked out and I'm worried of having the boys fall in love with her to find out later she's sick.

Lifetime is making four more movies based on Nora's books. Press release is here.
The books they're considering are: Tribute, High Noon, Northern Lights, True Betrayals, Midnight Bayou and Carnal Innocence.
Tribute hasn't even been released yet so I can't really comment on that one. Northern Lights was considered the last go-round. I DON'T want High Noon done. I liked High Noon, not quite as much as I liked Montana Sky, but I still liked it. I didn't care for any of the movies last time and I more than likely won't this time BUT I could see True Betrayals, Midnight Bayou, and Carnal Innocence transferring to the small screen Lifetime style, Midnight Bayou especially.
The second in the Sign of Seven trilogy comes out May 6th and then not another new one until July. Actually, she only has five more new books out the rest of the year. Thankfully, two of those are JD Robb stories/books.

I'm trying to recall a book.
I *think* it's a Nora book but I'm not sure. I vaguely remember a woman seeing or witnessing something, the bad guys find out, and then come attack the town. I want to say that the attack and people defending lasts a good portion of the book.
It's freaking killing me not recalling this book. Anyone know?

CNN and Fox News have been highlighting Autism for the past week or so which I think is phenomenal and the many many MANY articles and shows out there are very informative and interesting. The articles/shows are showcasing, per se, both sides of a current hot button issue about vaccines contributing to Autism and autistic tendencies.
That said, before you (the general population being the you I'm referring) PLEASE do your own research before spouting off with "facts". You're entitled to your own opinion as to whether vaccines may or may not cause Autism and the rise of diagnoses BUT don't give your opinion as fact. UNLESS IT IS.
As of now, the mainstream medical community states there is no link between ANY vaccine and autism. I'm not saying there ISN'T, I'm saying that doctors say there is no medical fact linking the two.
Also? Autism is not cureable. It is, however, treatable. BIG DIFFERENCE.
THINK FOR YOURSELF. Don't believe everything a B-List actress claims to be truth. I commend her for putting herself out there and drawing awareness to Autism and whereas I may not fully agree with everything she's saying, I do commend her for having such a strong voice. I just hope that those who listen to her also have the mind to think for themselves before "deciding" anything.
I have my own opinion to the current debate. But that's not for this post.
I'm not a medical professional nor do I profess to be. I'm just someone who's worked with special needs children for awhile, including children AND adults with various forms of Autism.
