~Community Strikes: Two YouTube Channels I watch have gotten a few community strikes. One channel got a bunch of strikes due to reporting on the harassment and trolling against Chris Chan via a documentary. Why? Was this Chris Chan reporting the channel for harassment? I don't think Chan has that much forethought to do that. The other channel got a few strikes via some false reports one on a Movie Bob video and the other on a DSP video. Neither one was bullying. Again, I seriously can't believe that Movie Bob would tear himself away from Twitter enough to make a false report. He is too busy Tweeting about Trump to care.
~Getting over a cold: I had to go to a doctor to get over a serve cold. I had a lot of drainage and coughing. I had to take some meds for it. The only side effect is my legs are sore. A strange side effect, eh? I am still sore in the legs due to the cold/fever, but the rest of my body is doing great. Strange.
~Happy Father's Day: A clerk gave me a "Happy Father's Day" remark after she checked me out. I was going to correct her and tell her "I am no father nor do I ever want to be." I guess I am at the age when I look the part of a father. That seems strange because I never thought of myself as a father figure. And, I never will. I'd make a shitty father due to being consumed with my own problems.
~Rewriting a short story:  I submitted a short story last year to a magazine and I think I am going to rewrite it and submit it to another one this year.  It is saved in my cloud.

Watch those credit card skimmers

Watch those credit card skimmers After watching this video, I feel a little uneasy about using credit cards in machines. I just had a friend on Facebook mentioned that he had his card info stolen too. I told him someone probably had it scan/cloned. I'm sure the people that put up the skimmer are pissed it isn't there.

Shannon Fill: Where is she now? (Ensign Sito Jaxa)

Shannon Fill:   Where is she now? SF has been reviewing TNG seasons o ver at his blog. And, the episode Lower Decks came up. I recently watched Lower Decks on Net-flicks and found myself amazed with the performance from the young and lovely Shannon Fill , who played the character Ensign Sito Jaxa. Jaxa showed up in two episodes of TNG, actually they were two important episodes.   There was a nice arc to her character too.   Her character was killed off in Lower Decks , but there were plans to bring her back for an episode of DS9. From Memory Alpha , ((One story considered by the writing staff concerned the return of  Sito Jaxa  from  TNG : " Lower Decks ". The pitch had Sito being imprisoned under inhumane conditions and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.  Robert Hewitt Wolfe  developed the story for some time. Feeling that there was insufficient explanation of Sito's condition, he had Sito killing her cellmate, whom she'd become cl...

Ted 2

Ted 2 Not as biting or sharp as the first movie, but I still enjoyed it more than most did. It has some funny pop cultural moments that make me smile and some of the jokes are funny. However, the movie feels a little bit off. I liked the move and I was never bored with it, but it felt more like A Millions Ways to Die in the West than the first Ted. Seth MacFarlane 's direction is a bit mundane for my taste, but his performance as Ted is still funny. I found myself wanting to fast-forwarding through all the scenes between Ted and Jessica Barth 's character. Dspite the movie not taking in as much domestically as the first movie, the movie did turn out to be a hit because of the international box office take. However, most critics hated the movie. - Gay rights: The movie is a stand in for gay marriage, but it's overall message is not that preachy. For the most part, these scenes work and are the driving force for all the characters. Given that S...
