My friend and co-worker Clay has a friend named Merrill visiting from Atlanta for three weeks and Clay was telling me this morning that they went to Friendly’s (restaurant chain) last week and they were treated quite shabbily. So Merrill filled out a job application and she’s now employed there, with the sole intention of [...]

Saw both Spiderman and Star Warsin the last three days. My capsule reviews:
Spiderman: just fun to watch. Nothing too deep, but lots of action and lots of cool effects. I was much more interested and entertained by first half of the movie when Peter Parker was just discovering who he was and what he could [...]
