by Donna on September 1, 2011

My birthday is tomorrow but there’s an even more significant birthday coming up the day after. On September 3, 2001, I purchased the domain Donnaville.com. YEP! 10 years folks!

It just feels like it’s going to be a great day. The sun is shining, the sky is clear! I have a ton of stuff to do here in my office but it won’t take much to draw me away. As I was making coffee, I remembered I had a bag of blueberry muffin mix [...]

Netflix Queue Strategy

by Donna on May 23, 2010

I keep watching La Femme Nikita episodes over and over and over again. It’s a freaking sickness with me. I’ve decided I need to expand my television horizons and so I’ve queued up the first disc of the first season of a couple shows I thought I might like but never caught: Alias Burn Notice [...]
