I was just speaking with someone a few days ago and said, “if there was a Wonder Woman slot machine, I would be spending all my money on it!” Well, I remembered to look it up tonight, and I just found out that Bally’s is working on one!!!! The great thing is that it actually has Lynda Carter and lots of video from the show. The bad thing is that I am now on a quest to find this machine nearby.

If you are getting the “Unable to create directory” error when trying to upload media and have chmodded the uploads directory, this may help. I was having this issue and tried in vain to get this to upload a simple picture. I ended up getting it to work by going into the wp-config file and changing the uploads path to the default:
define( ‘UPLOADS’, ‘wp-content/’.’uploads’ );
Once I changed it to this default, it worked like a charm. I think this was caused by being on a shared hosting server and so the entire hosting path to a directory can change at any time.
“Unable to create directory /var/www/vhosts/xdomainx.com/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/2014/09. Is its parent directory writable by the server?”
I am excited for another season of American Horror Story! Just like last time, I am doubting the storyline before the show starts. I was pleasantly surprised, though, last season. AHS has been steadily providing good writing along with fantastic actors. So, I will stop biting my nails and hope this season is even better!
Freakshow plays upon the general public’s fear of anything out of the ordinary. After thinking about that statement, though, I need to either retract it or qualify it by age/generation. I think the youth of today are immune to shock value because of the 80s generation’s efforts to make the world more tolerant. The advent of the internet as entertainment media and the raw/uncensored underbelly makes us ambivalent to the unusual. We get to see things that gross us out or make us cry in a matter of seconds. So it is no longer “that is too gross to see” and it has become “oh, I saw that yesterday – I need a bigger and better shock today”.
So, AHS Freakshow supposedly takes place in Jupiter, FL and we are supposed to be horrified at a woman with three breasts or a woman who has a beard. This is why I am doubting the show. But I know they will come through. Until it starts on October 8th, enjoy this image… which actually made me take notice! Good job AHS!
I have been with T-Mobile for quite a while and I wanted to save some money by switching carriers. I chose MetroPCS because they are owned by T-Mobile and charge a set rate of $60 a month for absolutely unlimited everything. No fees, no taxes, no surcharges, etc. I had been with them for a while a few years back (before they were bought by T-Mobile) and hated their customer service because no one spoke english well.
So, I switched to MetroPCS for a couple of weeks and then saw that Sprint was offering their new $60 unlimited plan. I figured that since they were a large-scale company, I might do better by going with them. So, I switched.
I was charged a $36 activation fee and some app purchasing fee ($8/month) on top of all the taxes, other fees, etc. So, what started out as $60 ended up being quite a bit more. I told myself that I was saving $20 a month (which I wasn’t). I loved the new phone (LG Flex), but people could barely hear me. I am not sure if it was the phone or the carrier. Also, I was not able to get a signal outside in a business/corporate area.
I got my first bill and there were all sorts of weird charges (taxes, surcharges and some even had 2 charges for the same thing – different prices). I called billing and spoke with someone who could barely hear me (phone? service?) and who barely spoke english. I was very distraught by the end of the phone call, so I went to the store where I got the phone. AH-HAH! At the store, they were able to take care of my issues with no sweat. They were helpful, very courteous and friendly!
Because I was within the span of 14 days, I was able to cancel the new phone purchase and get it refunded. They said that if I had canceled within 3 days, I could have gotten the activation fee refunded as well. At this point, my bill is almost at the point it should have been for 11 days of service.
So, I switched back to MetroPCS and would recommend their $60 plan. No surprises at all. They use T-Mobile’s towers. So far so good.
I read all over the internet that MetroPCS locks your phone to your plan and charges you to change phones and that is NOT TRUE. Their website has instructions on switching phones, and a phone number that gives you a message stating that they DO NOT CHARGE to switch phones. You simply put your SIM card in and dial *228. The store people charge you to do this for you. Do it yourself and save $20+!
Continuing my tradition of finding great things that are a little bit older, I have recently stumbled across the New Mickey Mouse cartoons on youtube. One of them popped up in the middle of something I was watching as a 3 minute commercial, and I thought it was actually an old Mickey Mouse cartoon until I realized there was a reference to something very modern in it. This particular cartoon made me laugh out loud which I have found very difficult to find that reaction in recent cartoons.
This had very adult humor themes which was shocking for a Disney Mickey Mouse cartoon and that’s what made me laugh. I started watching more of these particular shorts and found them hilarious. As pictured below this is a shot of Mickey mouses nose in someone’s tighty whitie clad crack. This shot hearkened back to old Ren and Stimpy cartoons where you would see an extreme closeup of something extremely gross. Check it out:
Here’s the whole cartoon:
I have just released my short novel, The Wonderful Farmer of Oz as an ebook. It is available on Kindle and with their “kindle unlimited”, there is a trial, so in essence, you can read this (and everything else they have) FREE!
This is my backstory for the scarecrow, tin man and cowardly lion.
Here is the link to my book:

I recently had a Blue Moon beer and they gave me extra orange slices with it, so by the time I had added all the juice to the beer, it tasted like a mimosa! So I did some testing and here is the recipe and my name for it:
“Beermosa”!
1/4 orange juice
3/4 Blue Moon beer
That’s it! Enjoy!
