Someone owes me $7 and 2 hours of my life. Went to see the Spielberg rendition of War of the Worlds last evening. There are some stunning visuals, unfortunately one of those great death ray effects don’t cross the path of the main characters. Never, not once, in the entire movie did I care what would happen to them, other than there death which was not about to happen.
In the words of Comic Book Guy, “Worst Movie Ever!”

It’s Been 4 Years
4 years ago at 7 AM PST I smoked my last cigarette. The next 24 hours was the most dificult day of my life.
Occasionally cravings for a smoke hit, but only for a few seconds.
Now I love living in a town that has gone smoke free in all resturants and bars.
By now my body should have reversed, as much as posible, the damage 8 years of smoking did to my body.
