Emma Roberts as Nancy Drew

I saw her in Aquamarine few days back on TV (Star Movies) and when I saw her again as Nancy Drew, Emma Roberts turn out to be stunning yet sweet and sizzlingly sleek.

Well, yes, they are girl’s novels but I enjoyed them as much as I enjoyed the Hardy Boys. My neighbors had many grown up girls at that time and I was lucky to have access to lots of books from them.

Girlfriend v7.0 to Wife v1.0 – Should you upgrade or not?

This one is just hilarious and I’ve to pick it up here (found at Digg).

Here is the excerpt from Willliam Kessler‘s world;

Dear Tech Support,

Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0. I soon noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources.

In addition, Wife 1.0 installed itself into all other programs and now monitors all other system activity. Applications such as Poker Night 10.3 , Football 5.0 , Hunting and Fishing 7.5 , and Racing 3.6.

I can’t seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run my favorite applications. I’m thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7.0 , but the uninstall doesn’t work on Wife 1.0 . Please help!

Thanks,
Troubled User
