The Day Keanu’s Face Stood Still

Wait, isn’t that every day? George and I managed to escape for a date on Friday. Yay! We saw The Day the Earth Stood Still. The best part was the steak I had at Claim Jumper. I love Keanu, but, oh wait. I hate Keanu. Okay, not personally since I don’t know him, but I [...]

Vampirism Bites Back

This post has nothing whatsoever to do with vampirism. I just like the title and I’m reeeeally tired so the ol’ brain isn’t working too swiftly. Actually, that doesn’t even makes sense. How would vampirism bite you back? Vampires are the ones that bit you in the first place. “People bite back” just sounds silly.
Have [...]

Dr. Horrible Rocks

And I don’t even say “rocks” unless I’m referring to gray inanimate objects in my backyard, because rocks in the context of “that rocks” is quite lame.
And what is Dr. Horrible? Just Joss Whedon’s new internet-based brilliance, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. Plus, it involves singing and Nathan Fillion. Yay! Fillion and Whedon, my two [...]

Thank You, Mr. Spock

Today I made the startling discovery that my son didn’t know who Mr. Spock was. Appalled that my Dad (or brother or FIL) might discover this calamitous situation before I could rectify it (or I got disowned), I immediately decreed that we were watching Star Trek II today while I worked on my grandparents’ Christmas [...]

Singing in the Rain is TOO Culture

The kids had today off  (they have every Friday off but have plenty of homework), and will have the same all next week for Thanksgiving break. The kids spent the morning playing, listening to Christmas music, andwatching family picture slideshows while they ran around making racket.Georgie and Faith spent half the morning fighting until I [...]

REVIEW: Pirates of the Caribbean At World’s End

~~ WARNING! PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: AT WORLD’S END SPOILERS AHEAD ~~
Yes, once again I have seen a movie that annoyed me
so much I am now compelled to write about it. It’s sad really. I really
enjoyed the first Pirates movie; and the second one, while not quite as
good as the first, was still a [...]

Movie Review: 300

– WARNING: Spoilers ahead for the new film, 300; but since the movie contains only a scant plot, it shouldn’t detract from your enjoyment of the show. –
Handsome Hubbiness and I managed to escape again last Friday night for the second week in a row!! Imagine me doing the Elaine dance with the thumbs (from [...]

TV Reviews: 24 and American Idol

Well, since we had four inches of snow yesterday and haven’t left the house since, I now have to recant my entire last week’s entry. Nice to have a bit of snow though. The kids are naturally delighted. Sounds like at the lower elevations the snow is a bit more sticky, but up here where [...]

Ridiculous Snow Reports and Movie Review: The Good Shepherd

Ahhh, we’re finally flu-free over here, which makes me very happy. I’m starting to feel moderately like things are slowing down-ish to a more manageable pace. Plus, Gymbucks redemption starts tomorrow, which is always a good excuse to shop. Actually, if you’re online late tonight, you’ll probably catch it then (try 9pm on the West [...]

X-Men vs. Spongebob Squarepants

Apparently when small children watch too much TV, their parents get to overhear conversations like this on the way to church:
Georgie’s Robot Wolverine made from miscellaneous bionicle pieces:  “I’m not allowed to have fun. My batteries will run out.”
Trinity’s Polly Pockets replies: “Oh barnacles!”
I wish every television show that employs expletives in place of actual [...]
