Have my tickets already. 11:25pm Thursday night 3D at an Alamo Drafthouse. Already took Friday off cuz I knew I was going to go to a late showing that night

Oh, yeah. Agreed. When I hear people tell their stories, it’s definitely sleep paralysis. I’ve seen aliens myself in that state. I definitely get why and how they believe they’ve been abducted.

I’ve experienced this a bit throughout the years. Part of the problem is I will sleep with my eyes open, so if there’s any light in the room I see everything and more. I’ve seen ghosts, snakes, demons fly out of a mirror, been stared at by aliens, but the most amusing one I’ve had was a few years ago when I took a…

LOL. I love it. Years ago I read an X-Files Boba Fett crossover. Was very well-written, not on FF.net, but on an archive somewhere. Boba Fett came to earth to collect a scientist, and Mulder/Scully were investigating the same scientist. The characters never meet, just always missing each other, but was quite…

heck yeah. the TV series Beauty and the Beast, Dr. Who, Robin of Sherwood, Phantom of the Opera ALW musical based, The Ghost & Mrs. Muir, Amadeus to name a few...I’d guess the original Star Trek may have ushered in a lot of the fan fic we know today. It also was the probable beginnings of slash (Kirk/Spock)

I want an editor. (lol) I want someone to do that work for me, then have all the stories/etc posted/bundled in a volume/etc for me to read (Oh, and I want them completed, dammit! I hate finding a story I rather like that’s been abandoned)

There’s just too much of it nowadays. I am an old fuddie duddie, I do remember the fanzines for the Phantom of the Opera fandom back in the late 80s-end of 90s before fanfiction.net, etc. Still have a big collection of them, too. I just can’t keep up with it any more. Just too much stuff to wade through to find the…

Two of the three phones I have used were bought retail, My very first smartphone, the Nexus One with a non-contract plan from T-Mobile, and now my Blue Studio Energy bought from Amazon using on Ting, again non-contract. In-between both those phones, I was on a 2-year contract with Sprint using a Samsung SII Epic…

As long as the ads are for their own content, only at the beginning & ending of shows, like HBO, I have no problem with ads.

It’s my dream to buy a house...(live in Austin, TX) but will never happen in my lifetime. Rents are ridiculous here, and yeah, definitely see how it would be cheaper to own...but we’ll never be able to buy. No matter how much we try to save, we’ll never hit 20-30% down. We were on our way a few years ago, had half…

Try LXLE on it. I have a P III 1.13 ghz and it works perfectly well. There's also MX-14. (a version of antiX) I have that running on an old p II 366 mhz and that also works quite well.

I did it earlier this year. I switched from Sprint to Ting. Was paying $150 month, two phones, family plan...went down to paying just under $45/mo. Turns out we don't use as much data/phone/messages as we thought we did.

Huh. Guess I qualify. I bought a Dell Dimension 8200 P4, 2.2 Ghz, for $3,000 February of 2001. In all honesty, I was pretty content with it. Had it up until last year when I 'upgraded' to a Dell Dimension 4600i my husband brought home from work for free. They were going to throw it out. (I ended up replacing the…

I told my superiors less than two months ago I was unhappy at my job. They were shocked. Simply shocked. Nothing changed. No new projects. In fact, it's gotten worse. I'm what's considered a 'remote' in a call center. I am a local face to the public in my company while the main reps are in a different city & time…

Every driver in Texas needs to see this. you know how often I see someone do something similar? Every day. Driving to work. And driving home.

In the last decade, I worked in a classifieds telephone sales department that still used ATEX machines, basically dummy terminals that had black screens with green text connected to a server somewhere on the grounds. I can attest to getting headaches after 8 hours staring at that screen all day. It was a godsend when…

Combination of Amazon & Newegg. I usually start out going to Newegg to read the reviews, and check prices. Then, I hop on over to Amazon to buy it, if they have it. 9 times out of 10 it's cheaper at Amazon, and I get free 2-day shipping on top if that.

Just tried on my Nexus 10, and it's still not an option. would rather watch video on my table than my phone...bummer...

Definitely. I have the newer versions. An AR3700 and the RL80-UR22. The AR3700 now has Ubuntu on it which speeds it up, while the RL80 has Windows 8 (which isn't as bad as I thought it would be). I never put any type of HTPC software on either of them, and just use them not only for entertainment but a computer if…
