I am still really affected by the shootings at the midnight showing of Dark Knight Rises in Aurora Colorado. It is naturally tragic, awful. And it seems so much more so to me, I think, because I can just imagine the joy the movie goers were experienceing. All of us in the geek community have been anxiously awaiting this film.

For the first time ever my husband Dwain and I are going to Las Vegas for a vacation. In a way we really cannot afford it although we tried to save up for it for a year.

It just has different colored leds) It has Spock saying certain phrases and you can push a button to make the 'scanning' sound or to make a 'short circuit' sound ( Read more... )

 Sundays are always bittersweet because you have the afternoon and evening to enjoy or to accomplish things but you know the beginning of another work week is looming. Right now, my office is very busy, hectic and under extrememe pressure because we do not have enough people to do all the work. Not only is not everything getting done, but what does ( Read more... )

Sometimes I feel anti social if I do not join sites that my friends invite me to join. Sometimes I think I need to broaden my horizons by trying new sites, like my venturing here to livejournal. Then sometimes I think- do I really need something else that will waste hours of my time every night? I dont know. It is fun to try new things. And ( Read more... )

So- it has been quiet and a little sad for me since my daughter moved to Australia. We had just gotten back in touch and it was nice to have her back for a few months. We are so alike, we end up being more like sisters than mom and daughter. Anyway, life gets so busy and work gets so stressful too that overall I was feeling a bit down. My husband ( Read more... )
