I recently saw all 5 Return of the Living Dead movies in succession. My Internet-honed logic tells me that I am now an expert in watching the Return of the Living Dead movies. That being said, let me walk you through the 5-movie zombiefest so you will be properly guided. Let us start with the original movie conveniently titled “The Return of the Living Dead”.
You need to be in a party mood when watching this zombie movie classic because it will pound you with slapstick comedy and punk rock. Expect to laugh at everything from the goofy zombies — including a midget — to the fashion of the times. Hey, it was the 80′s. Speaking of kids, make sure none of them are watching this with you because there is cursing and some nudity involved. Watch this at night for some good scares, but there’s not enough to reduce you to a flaming pile of heart attack. Good times all around.

Pick-up lines, even the funniest and most charming ones, never worked for me. Must be my creepy aura. Anyhoo, I’m wondering what pick-up lines superheroes are using to get some. Here’s what my perfectly normal and totally not perverse mind came up with:
Mr. Fantastic, Stretchy Leader of the Fantastic Four

Being single for the past 3 years, I know a lot about the whole experience of spending Valentine’s Day alone. I know some of you would say that on Valentine’s Day, love between lovers is not the only kind of love we can celebrate. We can celebrate the love we have for friends and family. WRONG. We all know only bitter single people say that. Valentine’s Day is about the passion and the romance shared between two people. For those of us who are single, it’s a jarring reminder that we are, indeed, single.
We usually spend this day locking ourselves up in our cold and dark rooms or crying in the shower while eating fried chicken. This year, let’s mix it up a little. Let’s go on the Internet and wallow in self-pity there. As a trained professional expert in being single, it is my duty to inform you of your options for celebrating Valentine’s Day online.

I’ve been using LastFM Love and Twitterfeed to share my Last.fm loved tracks on Twitter alternately for the last few months and both services just don’t work for me. LastFM Love is not very intuitive and it only worked for me a couple of times. Twitterfeed is just not reliable. It keeps retrieving my Last.fm loved tracks but it doesn’t post to Twitter. I checked every possible setting on both services and I just can’t get them to do what I want them to do. This morning, I gave up. I searched for an alternative way of sharing Last.fm loved tracks on Twitter and what I found was Dlvr.it. And it delivers.
In this totally out of place blog entry, I shall show you how to publish your Last.fm loved tracks to Twitter using Dlvr.it. If you are familiar with Twitterfeed, you can pretty much figure out how to use Dlvr.it easily. If not, here’s the deal: Dlvr.it is a service that publishes your feed (RSS, Atom, etc.) to an array of web services like Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, Tumblr and more. This means in order to do the whole publishing to Twitter bit, your Last.fm loved tracks must have a feed of some sort for it to be delivered by Dlvr.it. Lucky for you, that feed exists.
