Katie Doyle, Girl About Town

Hola, mi amigos; bueno qui nabla? Or something like that. I don't actually speak Spanish... (I know how to say "wayno key nahblah", but spelling it is a different matter altogether...)

Two things.

A. You know I hate hyping the big chains, because corporate America is mostly comprised of money-hungry bastards living off the retirement savings of their employees and stock holders, but Kinko's has this new program where you can recycle your printer cartridges 100% at no cost to you. Not even postage. All you have to do is swing by your nearest Kinko's, grab one of the postage paid plastic envelope bag thingies they provide for the purpose, insert your used cartridge, and drop it in the mail. Voila. Go, Kinko's.

And bygones about that whole money-hungry bastards thing.

B. If you go to The Animal Rescue Site and click the link that says something like "feed an animal in need for free", you provide .6 bowls of food for a rescued animal...the site's sponsors donate according to the amount of traffic the site gets and how many times a day the "feed an animal" button is clicked. They also fund food from the proceeds of items sold on the site, some of which are kinda cool. They need a little help at the moment, so please go click now.

(Skip the next graph if you hate knowing the end of movies, even crummy ones, before you see them, and if there's any chance in hell you're going to go on a bender, destroy all your good judgement, and decide to see Scooby Doo)

So, I had the sad misfortune to see the Scooby Doo movie, 'cause I'm home, I'm bored, and it was on cable. Please save yourself the aggravation. It's mind-numbingly stupid with very few amusing moments. Except for the end, when it turns out the villain is actually Scrappy Doo. THAT I thought was hysterical, since every self-respecting Scooby Doo afficiando can tell you the series went miserably downhill with the vile and VERY poorly thought-out addition of Scrappy Doo. What the H-E-double hockey sticks were they thinking??? Ruined a perfectly good cartoon, even if I *had* seen every single episode like 6 times. My baby brother hadn't, and he was totally addicted, and since he was like 4, he didn't have the good sense to hate Scrappy, so my older brother and I both had to endure the horrible, evil scourge that was that damn puppy pain in the ass, until we finally put our collective foot(s) down and said absolutely not, no more Scooby Doo. Thus, everyone was scarred for life.

But it's not like I'm bitter.

Bygones.

Peace out,
Katie
