As a wannabe Mac user I have long been awaiting Apple to release Safari for Windows. Well it's here and let me tell you, I am a bit disspointed. The look and feel of it is great, it is easy to use, but let me warn you now, IT IS SLOW! I can't believe how slow it is, I'm in DSL for goodness sakes, it shouldn't be this slow. I thought at first it was my internet connection, then I tried my other browsers (Firefox and IE), the speed was great, it was Safari that was slow. I'm hoping this is a bug that Apple is working to fix because this is just ridiculous. Also it could use some more add ons, right now there are only 6. It was be nice to have nice add ons like Firefox does. Maybe in the future there will be. For now, im gonna keep playing with it, and hope that Apple will make some tweaks on it soon.
I may have been the only little girl in 1988 to see The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking, and fall head over hills in love with it. But just in case I wasn't the only one, I figured I share this.
I have always wondered whatever became of Tami Erin, the little girl who played Pippi. I remember researching a long time ago and now turning up much but today as I was going through my dvds I came across my Pippi movie and decided I would search again. This time I turned up something, turns out she has started acting again and imdb even had a picture of here now. So here she is the little girl, that maybe some of you, like me, idolized as a child and wondered about too, all grown up.
The countdown has begun to the release of the Halloween remake. I hope it's as good as it seems to be. Halloween is my 2nd favorite horror film (Rosemary's Baby being my favorite) so it's has a lot of expectations to live up to.
Today is my dad's birthday today. It is the first birthday of his since we've stopped speaking. I'm am not acknowledging his birthday today, he did not acknowledge mine. He has chosen not to be in my life, and I have accepted that. He wasn't really there to begin with. You can't miss something you've never had.
I've begun to see a therapist, once a week. I really like her, I've been able to get a lot of things off my chest with her, that I haven't been able to say to anyone else. I've needed this for a long time, I feel better just by talking to some one who can be objective. I have begun taking medication for ADD. I was unsure of whether or not I was going to. I believe you can have too many psychiatric drugs. But after talking with my psychiatrist and my therapist, it seems like the best thing to do. I really need to get back to some sort of normal life. I'm 22 and I've had no focus for so long. School starts next month and I'm praying I will be much better by then. I have to be.
Lane Garrison to Get Psych Evaluation Before Sentencing
Lane Garrison was supposed to be sentenced today but has instead been sent for a 90-day psychiatric evaluation in prison. After that time is up the judge will then determine the sentence for driving under the influence in a 2006 crash that killed a teenage boy.
During a hearing at Los Angeles County Superior Court on Thursday, Judge Elden S. Fox ruled he needed to see the results of a “diagnostic” test on Garrison before deciding his sentence.
Judge Fox also told the actor he has no interest in his celebrity.
He said, “The fact that you may have some notoriety, I don’t really care.”
Earlier in the day, the victim’s father, Karen Setian, told the court that he feared a new TV advertisement Garrison has filmed warning against the perils of driving under the influence is nothing more than an attempt to get a lighter sentence.
Setian said, “He is an actor, and he is acting. Let’s not fall for his act.”

My grandfather came home from the hospital today. He only has one kidney bag attached and hopefully will have that removed soon. He does have bladder cancer and will start chemo as soon as he's healthy enough, he has to put on some more weight. He has his first appointment with the cancer doctor next week. I'll keep everyone posted.
We took my grandfather to the hospital Sunday night. He is having a blood transfusions now. He is on the verge of kidney failure because of a tumor in his bladder causing a blockage, so they put two tubes into his kidneys that lead to a bag that the kidneys will drain into. He will have this for the rest of his life. They are also debating on whether or not to do dialysis on him because of all the toxins in his body from the kidney blockage. They believe the tumor is cancerous so they are doing a biopsy in the morning to find out how bad it is and how much they can remove. He is not taking this well and is very scared. He hasn't been in the hospital since he was a teenager and he's 69 now. Please keep him in your prayers.
