Musings and What-not

Yes, I'm going to talk about Ning again!  Gotta problem wit' dat? Oh, yeah?!?!? Well, I know people who know some people who know other people who can help you out wit dat lil' problem. Capiche?  {wink} Sorry about.  My cinematic tastes, which includes movies like Scarface , GoodFellas , and The Godfather series, are as diverse as they come, and it's obvious I've seen these flicks one too many times. {teehee} Anyhoo, I'm here tonight to tell you about another wonderful holiday giveaway besides my own (which ends tomorrow @ 11:59 PM CDT, in case you forgot to enter! {wink}).
