Got tired of crawling under my desk at work to plug things into the socket. It doesn't apply to the computer gear, that stuff stays plugged in all the time anyway but if i have something, like my phone charger, for instance, then i have to crawl under the dusty desk. I went to The Source and thought i would just get an extension cord but it would defeat the purpose to leave it plugged in without actually using it, it could be dangerous so i ended up with a small surge protector that has an on-off switch. A little bit of overkill for what I need it for but it's a little safer.

Everyone's excited about the Sex in the City movie opening this weekend. Except me. I never watched the show. I'm a bit iffy on these reunion tv shows and movies anyway. If a television series has ended, it's usually because it reached its sell-by date, no matter how much you might like the characters. Revisiting them a few years later or more, i'm not sure what the point is other than to milk money out of the former fans and most of the time, the revisit is never as satisfying. I'm sure there are exceptions that prove the rule but I can't think of any at the moment.

Sex in the city - never saw an episode. Not my cuppa tea.

As for your computer gear issue, I know the problem. Me too. I have an extension.

I didn't want to take the chance of having an open ended extension cord but the reset switch on the surge protector should be ok.
Glad to see at least one other person that's Sex-free ... so to speak :)

I saw the premiere in Portland. My boss had freebies and she was going to be out of town....so the giorls and I went. They are all big SaTC fans and were super-excited to go. I couldn't get over the # of people who dressed up...ack! I liked the show although I never watched regularly, but the movie was pretty silly.

Mediocre review in our newspaper today. I expect it would be more of the same but since i wasn't keen on the series, i wouldn't have had high hopes for the movie.
