OK, so I'm a slacker when it comes to updates... So sue me.
I have been working on the site, however. I'm trying to streamline the main
site a bit more, plus I'm hoping to make it more interactive. I won't bother
you with the details because you probably won't notice them anyway, but
the biggest and most important change is our new WebLog! I'm hoping that
this will be more successful than the message board, which turned out to be
a total bomb, mainly because I'm having a good time playing with it. And
when I'm having fun, I'm inspired, and when I'm inspired, You get all kinds
of goofy new stuff to read! So go on over and check it out, and please!
make sure you leave some input. Otherwise I'll get bored of that too and
it'll be history.
Movie Pick: Chocolat
Plot Outline (as per IMDB) A woman and her daughter open a chocolate
shop in a small French village that shakes up the rigid morality of the
community.
I fell in love with this movie the first time I saw it! It's a sweet and inspiring
charactor driven movie with just enough mush to keep it interesting, but not
so much that it makes you want to hurl. If you liked any of my previous
picks, trust me on this one. You're going to love it! (Warning: Cravings will
occur. Make sure you have plenty of your favorite chocolate on hand!)

01/01/04 Happy New New All!!!
I know it's been a while since I've updated this page, but there are all kinds
of new things to look at! The biggest addition is the Brainiax Scrapbook,
loaded with all the stuff the Brainiax Crew has been up to this past
summer. Go check it out, you'll have fun! Also, I've added an About page.
It gives a detailed discription of how Brainiax was started... Sort of. There
are a lot of new Jigsaw Puzzles on the fun and games page, an Index page
for those of you who want to see the entire site at a glance, and some new
stories in the Chocolate section. So go look around and see how you like!
And don't forget to sign the guestbook and let Me know what you like.
Have Fun!
04/05/03 It has recently come to my attention that I have mislabeled the "Issues" pages, because in all honesty... they have absolutely nothing to do with real issues. So I've opted for a catchy -and slightly more accurate- name for the pages, Random Ramblings. So now you don't have to be afraid of finding a bunch of heavy weight boring stuff. It's -mostly- all in fun.
Also! I haven't done a movie pick in quite a while, so I'll do one now... If you haven't seen 2 Days In The Valley yet, rent it! It's a halarious movie about a crook, a director, an ass, another ass, two cops and a bunch of chicks. The humor of the story is more on the sarcastic side than the slap stick side (although, there is this brilliant ongoing joke about a toupee!) So be sure to bring your brain along for the ride, or you may miss it.
Enjoy!
03/16/03 Wow! I didn't realize how long it's been since I've updated this
page. Sorry about that. Chalk it up to laziness.
I haven't, however, been lazy about adding new material to the site. There
are a few new interviews, some new articles in the "Issues" section (which,
if you're new to this site, really have nothing at all to do with serious issues.
I figure we get enough of that crap on the news.) There is a new section on what the Brainiax crew does in their spare time called, Field Trip. It's
still fairly new, but it's growing a little every day. I'm currently getting the
pictures for two new sections of Spring Grove ready and with summer
coming up, I imagine we'll have many more outings to share.
Also! It seems to me that recently, everybody who's anybody (and even
somebodies who are nobody and just don't realize it,) have decided to take
up a cause. So, I figured it's time for Brainiax to take up a cause of its own!
Brainiax is not only trying to ban the manufacturing of "glue traps," but
we've taken an active role in ridding our planet of these dangerous contrap-
tions! I urge you to do the same before it's too late. To find out more,
please read this. I'll be honest, the thought only occurred to me after I accidently got my fingers stuck in one of the traps. Until then, I had no idea just how dangerous they really were. After getting my skin ripped off,
I now know better.
That's about it for now. I promise to try and keep this section updated a
little better, but if I forget... please forgive me. Now, I'll leave you with this
thought for the day that was sent to me from a TSO friend,
Thought Of The Day:
A good friend will come bail you out of jail... but a true friend will be sitting next to you saying, "Damn...we f**ked up."
12/28/02 The new TSO pics are here!!!
12/28/02 Whew! After a marathon of interviewing, writing, and getting it
all up on the site, I am happy to say, I Finally have New Stuff... and it's
everywhere! There are new interviews, a whole new story section, quotes,
a couple new articles, and even some new email funnies. I even have a
couple of new writers working with me! But, being the brat that I am, I'm
not going to tell you who they are, you'll just have to find them for your-
selves. So come on in and take a look at your favorites, but take it slow...
with this being the Christmas season, I'll be working on the TSO site a lot
and won't have much time to work over here for a while. I sincerely hope
you like the changes and everything that's been added.
Have a Wonderful Holiday Season!

12/28/02 Brainiax now has 2 message boards! The new one is for those of
you who would rather not mess with the YahooGroup. Same rules apply
to both, which is: There Are No Rules! So please, take a moment to check
out both of them and bookmark your favorite. And as always, feel free to
stike up a new conversation if you like, we're a pretty open bunch.
12/28/02 The Trans-Siberian Orchestra 2002 Christmas tour is almost
over now. But, Jill and I did get some great pictures of the meet-n-greet
after the Dayton concert... just to tide you over till next year. It was an
Awesome concert and all the performers were absolutely wonderful! I
don't think I could find the words to discribe this experience, even if I
tried. So you'll just have to come over and look for yourself!
And check it out... I finally got a hug from Joe Cerisano! You're still my
favorite, Joe! (www.cerisano.com.)
12/28/02 In the spirit of the Christmas season, I thought I might suggest a
few of the classics here. One being on 34th Street. I will always consider
the original the best because that's the one I grew up with, but the later
version with Mara Wilson is really good, as well. Also, The Ten Com-
mandments is a holiday favorite of mine. Oh! and (thank you Jill) Rudoph
the Red Nosed Reindeer! "Put one foot in front of the other... as soon
you'll be walkin' out the door..."
However, if you're in the mood for a really excellent Christmas show,
may I suggest you turn off the TV, call TicketMaster, and get yourself a
ticket to go see Trans-Siberian Orchestra! You will not be dissappointed...
I Promise!
