Something of a landmark...
My business cards arrived today. My own business cards. I've never had personal business cards before - they've always been issued by whatever company I was working for at the time. But I can't network without them, so ( Read more... ) -
::tap. tap. tap.:: Hello?
So... is anyone still out there?
It's been so long, I had to think to figure out how to make a new post ( Read more... ) -
New TV. (Also: Has it really been since July???)
Last night, I watched the premiere of Gotham, the season premiere of Sleepy Hollow, and the premiere of Forever. And thought, perhaps this is the season that gets me watching TV again.
And honestly, Gotham kind of made me want to write meta... :-) -
How many books about The Beatles does one woman need?
I'm in the middle... no. That would be far, far too optimistic. I'm at the beginning of a serious winnowing process involving all my worldly possessions. I'm preparing for a move, which is pretty arduous at the best of times. But consider that the last time I moved house - nearly nine years ago, now - my new company basically sent movers to pack up ( Read more... ) -
Is this an unpopular opinion? I don't know.
I wholly approve of the name change of the third Hobbit movie, and think the new name (Battle of the Five Armies) is vastly superior to the previous one (There and Back Again) as the name of a movie ( Read more... ) -
Random observation...
Not exactly breaking news, for a 2002 movie, but J.K. Simmons is hands-down the best thing about Spider-Man. I giggle insanely whenever he's on screen, and mute and do other things when he's not. -
For what it's worth...
I still adore Hannibal, and still think it's one of the finest shows I've seen on TV, ever. I understand the controversy, I extend my sympathy to those people who are upset, and I respect their rights to voice that upset or back away from the show. I'm not going to bore anyone with arguments as to why I feel this show is different, and why I'm not ( Read more... ) -
Strange dreams...
Drove to Madison to meet up with nwhepcat for brunch yesterday, which was lovely, but paid for with a brutal drive home on icy roads in near-zero visibility. Urgh. Luckily, the mini cooper goes great in the snow; he plugged along valiantly with nary a slip even as I gulped nervously at the sight of a scary number of cars who'd driven off the roads and into ( Read more... ) -
So, saw Romeo & Juliet tonight...
Had an interesting evening - went to see the filmed production of the recent Broadway production of Romeo & Juliet. I might not fly all the way to New York City and pay $75 to see Orlando Bloom do Shakespeare, but for $20 and a five-minute drive to the movie theater, I'm in ( Read more... ) -
What are my LOTR people up to?
I've recovered from my deluge of Hobbit watching - which I haven't posted about, but will, once I stir myself. Short review: liked it a lot, although "WTF is with the walnuts?" :-)
( Inspired by Ms. Blanchett's Golden Globes win, I'm catching up on the Best Cast Ever... )
