The Arc Has Ended

Movie Review Sunday!
Sorry, I don’t have any movies to review. The only movie (away theater or home theater) I saw this week was The Dark Knight, and I’m sure you don’t want me reviewing that again. Oh wait, I did watch Stargate: The Ark Of Truth on DVD, but I consider that [...]

Donuts To Dollars

One year ago today, I blogged about and posted pictures from the makeover a local 7-11 had undergone into a Kwik-E-Mart to promote The Simpsons Movie.
