Lovely Weather
Tuesday, January 8th, 2008We’re currently in the midst of yet another storm after the three that pushed through over the weekend. This one is showering us with a mixture of rain and snow that will make our roads even more interesting in the morning.
I’m tired of winter already…
Gold-Plated Globes?
Tuesday, January 8th, 2008The Golden Globes have fallen victim to the continuing writer’s strike. This year’s show has been cut down to a one-hour news conference instead of the normal multi-hour dinner gala. Who’s planning to watch?
Certainly not me. As a struggling writer wanna-be, I am behind the writers 110%. The media moguls need […]
End of 2007 Wrap-Up
Thursday, January 3rd, 2008Everyone is doing them, but I don’t really remember much about my year so I’ll just say that 2007 was very interesting. I can only wonder what 2008 will bring.
You’ve probably noticed that my most recent posts are shorter than some of my older ones. I’m going to try to do a little […]
Done
Monday, July 23rd, 2007I’ve just finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, but I’m not going to post a review until I’ve had time to digest - and until hubby has finished reading. All I can say at the moment is that I feel a sense of loss that this book series is done that really has […]
Countdown to the Final Book
Wednesday, July 18th, 2007We’re just over two days away from the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the seventh and final book in the series, and the excitement is mounting. The internet is full of “spoilers” (comments giving away important plot information) so I’ve been trying to steer clear of places where I might unintentionally find […]
A True Hero
Wednesday, July 11th, 2007For the last couple months, I’ve been following a young man who I consider a true hero in every sense of the word. CNN.com did a story back in May about Miles Levin, a teen cancer patient, and I’ve been following his blog posts ever since.
Miles’ story is a lesson to us all […]
Potter Rules!
Wednesday, July 11th, 2007We just got back from a midnight showing of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and I have to say this is the best of the movies so far. I’d been worried that too much of the book would be dropped due to length restrictions, but I give Michael Goldenberg a thumbs-up […]
Big Night
Tuesday, July 10th, 2007Several midnight showings of the new Harry Potter movie are being held this evening and we’ve got a small group going to the 12:10am at the new Century Summit Sierra theaters (about 25 miles north of us).
I took tomorrow off work so I could get a little sleep afterward (and run a few errands), but […]
Harry Mania
Saturday, July 7th, 2007We’re heading into another period of Harry Potter fever as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the final book in the series, and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix are released within the next couple weeks. Our family has been following the series since before the books became big here in the […]
iRide
Monday, July 2nd, 2007Everyone’s talking about the iPhone. Your 4gb basic model will cost you $499 while the 8gb goes for $599. For $599 you can also get a very nice road bike. I’d much prefer to be out on a ride like the one hubby and I took this morning than to be running around with the […]
