La Femme Nikita A perfunctory check of the X-Files plot on 12 May 2008 Monday turned into a pleasant surprise when the TV screen revealed the female protagonist of the American TV series version of the Luc Besson French film of the same title. However, I caught it midway through its 6pm time slot. Darn.
RSS Means Really Simple Stupid Well, the really simple part is correct, according to Charo Nuguid, but, I added the stupid part to help me remember the whole phrase, for there was no way I was going to retain in my brain Really Simple Syndication, RDF Site Summary or Rich Site Summary.
The Guy Whose Girlfriend Broke Up With Him My ex and I have been together for several years, and then she breaks up with me. A few days later, she texts me that she wants to get back together.
