Three-Day Weekend Tidbits

Posted in Posts, tagged , on January 15, 2010 | Comments Off

Whoo! Three-day weekend!  Enjoy your Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Holiday, and try to do something good in memoriam.  There are lots of events in my town; I’m sure there are some in yours.  I know my employer is having lots of stuff on, which is pretty cool.
Speaking of things my employer is putting on, [...]

Best and Worst

Posted in Posts, tagged on January 11, 2010 | Comments Off

I came across this amusing blog post today, highlighting a debate among dorky lefty bloggers over which was the best/worst comic-book adaptation film of the aughts.  Personally, I liked X2, Batman Begins, A History of Violence, Hellboy.
Elektra was sort of awesomely bad.  Daredevil would have been awesomely bad too, if someone other than Ben Affleck [...]

Have you ever wondered what those noises coming from under the door of your neighbor down the hall really were?  Was he watching a Rob Zombie film, or trying to create a real zombie?  Well, the New York Times has created this awesome and engrossing interactive map of Netflix’ most rented films of [...]

Bumbles Bounce

Whew! Today was a day of meetings, meetings, meetings.  I noticed that about half of the folks at the first meeting brought their smartphones and answered calls, wrote emails, etc.  I did not bring mine; it stayed in my purse at my desk, where it belongs.  Instead I just brought a notepad and a pen.  [...]

It’s A “Jump to Concusions” Mat

Posted in Posts, tagged , , , on October 19, 2009 | Comments Off

It was an exciting weekend, folks.  OK, not really.  The wet weather kept me inside and I skipped the football games; I’m a bad sister!  Bad!  Sigh.  But after the last cold and drizzly game I was ill for a couple of days, and I didn’t want to have the same or worse happen again [...]

Shoot the whole day down

Mondays, case of.
Well, not really, especially considering how little sleep I was able to get lastnight.  It was toss, turn, toss, turn!  Ugh. But, I’m here and drinking my coffee so things could be worse.
The weekend was nice!  The weather was great, and I took advantage by riding my bike up to Pentagon City to [...]

Quantum of perspective

I liked the recent Casino Royale well enough. (I thought I was being beaten over the head with the love story.) But I thoroughly enjoyed QoS when I saw it this weekend. I do have an affinity for Bond movies (they provided the structure for my favorite college paper ever, which I still think is [...]

Chronic (what?) cles of Narnia!

Hilarious. Literally, one of the funniest things I’ve seen in my entire life. Watch it, you’ll crack up!
Also, the movie rocks. I don’t care what anyone says. They got that first trip through the wardrobe RIGHT and that really leads to book fans being predisposed to enjoy the [...]

Stretch out with your feelings

May the Force be with George Lucas. He needs it.
So I broke down and bought the DVDs of Star Wars IV V & VI. I couldn’t resist it — on sale at Best Buy. What can I say, I am a HUGE SW geek as those who know me can attest.
And, as [...]
