This site will be left "as is" so anything you need from here isn't going anywhere. I certainly hope you'll follow. It's just one sub-folder away from the one this blog sits ... http://theformulakid.com/weblog/?p=274 I have a bit of a dilemma. I've started a new blog over at Blogger and have been doing some writing there for a few days. The blog is private so no one can see it but me. I like it. There is one gigantic caveat with doing a public ... http://theformulakid.com/weblog/?p=273 I haven't done a movie review in a long time so here's one. "Stay" is poop.

The album "Invention of the Wheel" was obviously named after the ... http://theformulakid.com/weblog/?p=266 Here is an mp3 of Twenty Miles from Waterloo.
