Time to Catch up
Guess this is what happens when I miss a few days. I don't have a Facebook or Twitter account for good reason. That said, please no cross-posting...as if anything I say is really THAT interesting. :P
I'm also going friends only. -
Sending Happy Dragon*Con Wishes
I hope everyone who is making the trip to Dragon*Con has a bloody good time! I'll live vicariously when you all return. -
Unscheduled Vacation
Ugh...still home with whatever bug it is that I caught. It seems that something is going around work and in fact, two other people in my department are coming down with it ( Read more... ) -
Yes, George, Germs Do Exist in Space
So I managed to come away from Star Wars Celebration V with a souvenir I didn't expect or want...a nasty bug (from a galaxy far, far away). I have missed a day and a half of work because of it ( Read more... ) -
Verdict is in: Star Wars Celebration - Epic!
Pardon the tardiness, but the last three days of Star Wars Celebration V made me completely speechless....Not really, it was just very late by the time I returned home that I couldn't put coherent thoughts to journal ( Read more... ) -

The Force Is Here

The awesomeness that is Boba Fett is much larger than life at the main entrance and there is a massive Death Star hanging from the ceiling. Obi-Wan and Yoda are guarding the entrance to the Autograph Hall ( Read more... ) -
Finally!
After years of waiting - thanks to not having a life outside of work, I finally saw Aerosmith live last night. They played with Blue Oyster Cult in Tampa and rocked the house. I can scratch one more thing off my bucket list. And yes, they performed "Sweet Emotion". I would have been utterly disappointed if they hadn't. The set list was decidedly ( Read more... ) -
Seriously, What a Trip!
Last night, I met my friend Whitney to see Inception. We both bow to the creative genius that is Christopher Nolan and he certainly didn't disappoint. No spoilers, I promise. The story is seriously twisted and the effects are seriously on point. I love that he consistently brings good actors - some like Cillian Murphy, Ken Wantanabe and Michael ( Read more... ) -
Eclipse - My Take
First of all, I do consider myself a writer and many think that being a fan of the Twilight series and being a writer are mutually exclusive things. Can you be one and the other? I do agree that the books could use some tweaking, but I also admit that the characters and story are very addictive ( Read more... )
