That is exactly what was screaming in my mind as I was reading through all of the comments! What else do I remember? -AOL and their chat rooms -Getting disconnected because my mother did not understand the concept of NOT USING THE PHONE WHILE ON THE INTERNET. -I remember e-tours. I LOVED...

Just read the article to my husband. He suspects "death by fart."

I do like "Miss" myself, even after getting married, I didn't mind that my students kept calling me "Miss". However, they never really used it much like a title, instead it was my name: "Miss" just "Miss" all the time. :) ...until the one child started calling me "Lady" or "Lady-person" I...

This terrifies the sh!t out of me!! WTH?!? I NEED to know more. I MUST understand. What the HELL happened to this man??? This is totally INSANE!! You have adequately blown my mind for the day, and due to this feeling I now fear my own spontaneous combustion!!!

Oh wow. Well, back in 1994 when I first started fiddling around with the internet there were two exciting things to do: go to chat rooms and participate in forums. I LITERALLY remember searching through topics, reading ALL of the web sites on them and BEING DONE - there was not a lot of stuff...

So I'm getting ready for NYCC in a couple of weeks and just finished writing a blog post about why I think everyone should go, at least once, to check out the scene and I was wondering what everyone's reasons were for going to Cons or not going. If you do go - what's your #1 reason? If you...

Blink is an episode that I think you can see out of sequence (and it is an AMAZING episode), but I'd still recommend going back to "Rose" at some point.

HA HA!! Did I write Richard?? What a nut!! :P Thank you for fixing that!

I started (this summer) with the reboot of Doctor Who started by Richard T Davies with an episode called "Rose." When I go back and watch the reruns that bit seems a bit slow, but it definitely gives you a full scope of the mythos of the Doctor Who world. You'll get the whole regeneration thing...

After twelve years of teaching math myself, this is a question that always pops up in the back of my mind. I have had parents, fellow (non-math) teachers, and, of course, students have no problem saying they can't do math. It is not something that anyone feels the least bit embarrassed about...

I'm finally at the point where I have suspended disbelief for so long that I no longer can compare. I love The Doctor! Each time he regenerates, he grows in the same way that we grow up - the individual actor's portrayal allows that to happen. I loved Chris E. as he was my first doctor, then...

It may surprise you to know, then, that John Lasseter (PIXAR head honcho, turned Disney animation head honcho) is the brains behind saving hand-drawn animation in Disney! Before he took over all of animation they were making big moves to be computer only! (Mr Lasseter is one of my heroes!).

If you have a Hot Topic store near you - they currently have a TON of cool HP stuff out for the new movie. I just got myself some cool new t-shirts and a set of earrings that had owl earrings, lightning bolt earrings and earrings of Harry's glasses - very cool stuff. They also sold a journals...

I actually came to the escapist forums tonight to see if there were any Doctor discussions!! I just started watching last week on Netflix. There has been a maniacal marathon of Doctor Who happening in this house starting with the re-boot. So Eccelston is my first Doctor and I LOVE him. It took...

I do like the singing in the Disney movies. I like musicals, but we live in a time where those are reserved for the stage, Disney films and Bali-wood. It was my hopes that with the popularity of shows like Glee, American Idol and The Voice, that musicals might make a bit of a comeback, but I...
