Last night, my husband and I went out to see Prince Caspian, the latest movie version of the Chronicles of Narnia. As the movie ended and the screechy wail of a song started over the closing credits, the audience began clapping, and I with them. I shook myself out of the spell that held me [...]

Taking it Easy
I am too tiredto even haiku today.Taking it easy... I've seen these photo memes going around and thought they looked fun, but they all seemed to contain too much identifying information -- until I found this one that storyteller did at Small Reflections. Tag yourself if you're looking for something easy and fun today too. [...]
Cartoon Nerds on Speed Racer
Have I mentioned lately that I love summer movie season? Not since last week? Ok, I love summer movie season! And this weekend my husband and I went to see Speed Racer, a special film for us, since our mutual love of the original cartoon was one of the things that made us fall wide-eyed [...]
Recovery Nerds on Iron Man
It's my favorite time of year: summer movie season! My husband and I love few things more than a summer blockbuster. This year, to ensure that we didn't miss a spectacular moment and yet had a smooth decision making process, we each gave numerical ratings to the hottest upcoming movies and tallied up the averages [...]
I Am Uncle Billy
I was at the bank the other day making a hefty deposit: part in cash but the bulk in check. I went into the bank, because I don't trust ATM machines with large deposits; I want an actual physical receipt from an actual physical person. I counted out the money and decided to keep $25 [...]

What the Matrix Is
"Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is.You have to see it for yourself."~Morpheus I got a mere one paragraph (the final paragraph, oddly enough) into my promised post on Silda Spitzer and the nature of the universe (I know, that's my problem, I think small) when I realized that I might want [...]
Clean Slate
"My mouth's bleeding, Bert! My mouth's bleeding! Zuzu's petals...Zuzu's petals! There they are! Bert, what do you know about that!"~George Bailey, It's a Wonderful Life There have been times I've experienced computer problems when I would spend hours and hours cleaning up this and patching that. And at some point I'd find it was just [...]
In Which Christmas and I Call a Truce
I'm sitting here in the light of the Christmas tree, sated by a day's worth of Christmas cookie snacking, having just danced to Christmas music with my Christmas-obsessed four-year-old daughter. Her excitement and enthusiasm (and maybe the sugar high) have me feeling, at least today, a little less guilty, anxiety-ridden, ambivalent and depressed about Christmas [...]
