This is another new show on the Discovery Channel. I am not sure, but I think somebody did some market research and thought we need more shows about/in Alaska. Unfortunately, I have to disagree. I love Discovery Channel — I hate this show.  Honestly, I feel like I am watching Survivor.  If I wanted to watch that, I would tune into regular TV.  When I do find something interesting in the show, the people on it start whining again and ruin the moment.  I just find that The Alaskan Experiment annoys me more than anything.  I don’t find it interesting enough to keep my attention.  (If you haven’t seen the show, it is about a couple of teams that get dropped off in different parts of Alaska and they have to brave it on their own out there for 30 days).

Have you seen this show?  What do you think?

I wish I had some digital signage so I could show you how awesome my new toy is. It is the Panasonic KX-TG6053S 5.8 GHz FHSS Expandable Digital Cordless Phone System with 3 Handsets. Its a mouthful, I know. I bought it, because our other phones got to the point that you couldn’t hear out of them. The decision for which one to get was quite easy. Most cordless phones don’t have speaker phone. In my house, that is a very important feature. Madison likes to talk on the phone and when I have it on speaker, I am able to hear the conversation and know when she is done. The feature I absolutely love is the talking Caller ID. I love that it tells me who is calling before I have to get up find the phone. You are able to set the time, so it shows up on the headset too! The screen is white on it, so it is very easy to read too. The clarity is excellent. I didn’t realize how bad our other phone really was until we got this one. If you are in the market for a new cordless phone, I vote for this one! It will not disappoint!

This is one of Madison’s new favorite shows. It is on Toon Disney, and I swear it is one of the weirdest cartoons I have ever seen. However, Madison absolutely adores it.  She actually goes around singing the theme song all the time for this show.

You can tell from the title that this is not about Alabama land for sale. Instead, Pucca is the main character. I think she is in love with Garu, and she spends the entire cartoon chasing him around trying to kiss him. Garu is trying to become the ultimate ninja and like any boy does not want anything to do with Pucca. He spends a lot of time hiding from Pucca. Abya is Pucca’s friend. Bill calls him the Bruce Lee wannabee. He is always trying to do ninja moves, but something funny happens like his pants fall down. Ching is Pucca’s other best friend, and she walks around with a chicken on her head.  The show is basically about these friends and their adventures together (and Pucca trying to give Garu a kiss on the check).

If you want a fairly cute cartoon for your kids to watch, this is a good one.  It is cute even though mommy doesn’t really get the point of it.

Being that I would consider myself somewhat Goth in the past, I was happily surprised when I came across Darkyria.com : Love Different. Though I wouldn’t be using this now since I am married, this would have come in handy in my younger single days. The site itself (as in color choices) are dark and exactly what I expect them to be. The photos that I looked that were uploaded are definitely goth — some showing more skin than others but that is to be expected on a dating site. Membership is free, so there is no harm checking this out. They also have a “Send a wink” feature if you find someone you would be interested in talking to. That just made me laugh, so I had to include it! They also have a free video chat and forums. I have reviewed some not free sites that don’t include this much information. If you are goth and looking, this should be one of your #1 stops.

I already wrote about Fechr, but I wanted to give you an update since one of my sites got picked to be “fechr’d”. My Thoughts, Ideas and Ramblings was picked yesterday. It was great. I ended up with 592 hits from Fechr alone. You have got to love that nice little spike in traffic. I ended up having to get in touch with Bluehost, since midafternoon my site went down. They had to reset the server. Since my site has never gone down, I am not sure if that is a coincidence or not. Regardless, Fechr delivers on their promise of hits. I am extremely happy with it.
