This is Tony Collett's weblog dedicated to my thoughts on the happenings in the world, comic books, anime, science fiction, DVDs, and anything else I encounter. I'm forty-something, male, and married (sorry, ladies)

View Article  Movie Notes
Ken Levine's Netflix Pick of the Month is The Stunt Man, a film I caught via Netflix and heartily recommend. It's one of those that when you hear someone hasn't seen it yet, you ask them "what are you waiting for?" And Gary Sassaman has some more video recommendations. Not sure if I agree about Jumper, but don't want to argue the point. Haven't seen Definitely, Maybe but sounds good. And agree with him on In Bruges.
P.S. On a personal note, don't want to jinx anything by saying anything, but wouldn't argue with you if you asked if things were looking better.
View Article  LifeLock Looking For Good People
For many people identity theft is a worry. It seems that one has to take proactive steps to protect yourself, but even with all that there's a chance that something will happen and that always weighs on peoples' minds. Fortunately there are companies like lifelock that want to help you with that, and by taking an agressive stand against those that would ruin your good name, not to mention empty your accounts and run up your charge cards. And companies such as First National Bank of Waterloo and AAA New Jersey realize what a value that protection is and offer it. But with such vigilant services, LifeLock is expanding and looking for good people to join their great team.

I hadn't heard anything in response to my previous posts, but I assume somebody must be interested in what's going on. Kathy's still taking the Robitussin, we're still putting the Vick's on her, and I'm still performing the percussion on her back. She's getting more of her appetite back as I went to Burger King to get her a croissandwich and some tater tots. She almost ate it all, and I finished up the last few tots. We watched a video and had some popcorn like she wanted. Even though she's on vacation, her work messed up and won't have the paychecks until tomorrow which they'll give out at the mandatory meeting. She's talking about us going out afterwards to do some things and get some stuff done. We'll see.
Update: I don't know why I don't keep my big mouth shut. She had a relapse in the shower where it was real hard to breathe. I turned up the A/C and had her sit up in the recliner and she said she was doing better, but there's still that last bit in her lungs that won't come out. We're going to get up early tomorrow to call her doctor and see if we can get her in. With that, her meeting at work tomorrow, and her vacation, everything's going bad. I don't know what to do.

View Article  Another Update Updated
Kathy's doing better, but she still has some congestion that's harder to cough out. She slept more last night. We were hoping she'd be better by now since her vacation starts today and she didn't want to be sick on it. I'm to pick her up from work in about an hour and see how she feels and go from there on our plans. I had suggested a while back going to Cracker Barrel to kick off her vacation, but we'll see. It's her taste buds being out of whack that's the main concern now.
Update 5pm: When I picked Kathy up, she said she had a nurse listen to her chest and suggested that she get a chest x-ray. Kathy's doctor isn't in today (and we're not sure if he's still her doctor, it's a long story) and the nurse suggested going down to the emergency room. We were going to go, but something didn't seem right, but you don't want to skimp on medical care. I called my mom who checked with a pharmacist who suggested taking Robitussin DM every 3 hours. Mom said if Kathy was feeling worse tonight we could take her in. We went and got drive-thru at Wendy's like Kathy wanted and I picked up some more Robitussin DM (I was giving her the CF version before) We got home and ate, I gave her the medicine, and mom suggested rubbing Vick's on her, and loaned us an air purifier. All that is helping her, as the congestion is starting to come out. She's in the living room now watching her decorating shows, so she's got to be getting better.
View Article  Pet Supplies
Here's a good place for pet supplies. They've got all sorts of things for your pet like medicine, treats and more, all at low prices. If I need to get Frontline for my cats, it's a lot cheaper her than at the vet's. Not only do they have almost everything for your pets, they also carry them for horses and livestock.
View Article  Powerful Signal
While I have a cell phone that has better reception than my first one, I am still in roaming in my home and when I go to the next town for errands, so if I call home, it costs me 50 cents for roaming, or use a payphone for 50 cents. Maybe I should look at getting a cell phone repeater so I don't have that problem.
View Article  Comic Book Urban Legends
Comic Book Urban Legends #161. All-Dazzler Issue! Nowadays, at the very least we would've gotten the animated special. And I had that issue of People of Bo and John Derek on the cover with a stack of Marvel Comics.
View Article  Las Vegas Golf
Looking for golfing in Vegas? Are you crazy? What with the hot weather, not to mention everything else you can do in Vegas? Maybe your game is so bad you want your score to stay in Vegas...
But like a lot of things Las Vegas offers the best greens and fairways to play in. They've got great golf deals on courses like TPC Las Vegas, Siena, Angel Park, Revere, Paiute and Tuscany. Now, the same golf resorts and courses designed and played by some of golf's greatest champions are ready for your challenge. And with the help of this golfing in Vegas site, you can book affordable golf packages at some of the world's most famous golf courses.
And I can't say anything about anyone wanting to go to Vegas to play golf. If I went, my goal would be to go to the Star Trek Experience.
View Article  Sony Losses
There's another consequence to the Nintendo Wii winning the next generation console war. Sony's losing billions on the Playstation 3. But hold off on taking up a collection, kids. Any video game fan will tell that anymore the companies take a loss on the consoles and hope to make it up on the games. Only problem is that until the Metal Gear Solid 4 movie game came out, there hasn't really been anything that screamed PS3. And I haven't been as anxious to jump into Blu Ray as I was with DVDs (Playstation 2 was DVD capable)
Maybe the PSP phone will help their fortunes.
