Saw HP at a private screening last night. It KICKS major ass. Yes, the effects are really really good. The chemistry between the kids are as fun as always. This one doesn’t putt around, showing off the school or lingering over small details to please fans. It went straight to the meat of the story. As a fan, I love that. Also, if you’re a fan of Dobbie and that whole S.P.E.W. thing from the book, you’ll be disappointed as there’s not a peep about that here. For the rest of us, THANK GOD! Ralph Finnes is superb at Voldemort....

Never felt so loved on my birthday like I did this year. 🙂 Thank you all who remembered! And all my out-of-state friends who called, bless your hearts! And my Northwest Corner (of the office) Kittens, you guys ROCK. You know, I didn’t need dinner tonight after all you’ve fed me at lunch! Of course, my poor hubby who stayed home with a boo boo in his belly, managed to have enough energy to help me do dishes, carry up grocery, and drive me out to float our kratongs. I wish you can have more pep in your step for...

Well, I’m nearing my usual goal of getting all Christmas shopping and gift picking done by the end of November. Technically, we’ve shopped for this year in Thailand last year for most people. (Demi-Boss, if you’re reading, that’s MY time/money saving tip!) And I’ve decided this year that I will bake. Or make homemade mixed nuts. Bought this big ol’ pack of plain white Chinese take-out cartons from Smarts & Final for $7 that I can pack my baked goodies in for people for every occasion. Now I just have to decide on the menu… Oh crap! I still have...

You lied. You cheated. And you stole the hearts of wrestling fans everywhere. You finally can now have peace. RIP Eddy. We’ll miss you. And yes, I watched the WWE occasionally. Sue me....

The Football Truely, this year USC Trojan Football is IT! It’s a little scary how we’d go up against Texas at the Rose Bowl next year. (Hehe. Nope. Not cocky at all.) But here’s a few random Trojan things. You know you’re in deep in the Trojans spirit when… You keep going back to an ophthalmologist outside of your health plan network because he’s a Trojan. Well, that’s not all there is. He’s also the doctor I trust with my sight. Your boss is willing to hand over to you the much covetted Matt Leinart signed football helmet if USC...

It’s Veterans’ Day, y’all, and I’m home with my Marine. 🙂 Ah. The joy of working for a non-profit company on county holiday calendar. Also the joy of not having to deal with the newsletter any more. I missed my girls night out dinner because of the damn newsletter. The Kinko’s type place dropped the ball. BIG TIME. It’s so unlike them. I don’t know what’s going on over there. The manager said yes to Quark when they actually don’t have the program. Then the promise to deliver proof by 5:30 got turned into “We’ll be there in 15 minutes”...
