I am proud to say that I actually managed to watch the whole movie as I generally can't deal with horror movies like this. ( Read more... )

Okay, so I'm behind in my Gale viewing but have been working hard to get caught up.  To that end, I received my copy of Fertile Ground.  Now, I'm really not a horror/thriller movie fan.  Can anyone tell me what I should prepare for?  Is there a website that will basically describe the whole movie, spoilers included?  I'll still watch the movie but ( Read more... )

So my blog partner and I have been talking about how often fans tear each other down, at least in the Duran Duran fandom.  Do you think that it happens in all fandoms?  Fandoms with mostly women?  We would love to hear your thoughts: dailyduranie.blogspot.com

I have been incredibly busy and one of the things I have been doing is writing a daily blog on being a fan of Duran Duran.  While I know that many people here aren't fans, I think that people will appreciate the "what it's like to be a fan" aspect.  Come check it out at:  http://dailyduranie.blogspot.com/

Okay.  I'm posting to keep me focused on my plan.  I need a plan because the school year is about to begin.  In fact, I'm working at registration tomorrow morning like I have done for the past 8 years.  I feel like I have a lot of balls in the air and many of them are good balls, so to speak.  Yet, I know myself well and know how intense I get.  ( Read more... )

It has been 4 days since Election Day. 4 days since Barack Obama became elected president. 4 days since my role in the campaign ended. Honestly, I am still trying to process everything. The campaign for me was long (February to November) and held moments of joy, frustration, exhaustion, hope and more. Yet, it was all worth it.

In about 48 hours, I will be staring at a stage watching the band that I have loved and followed since I was a child.  I will be at my 16th Duran Duran show.  I should be thrilled.  I should be beyond excited.  Yet, I’m focusing on the particular nature of Duranieness.  Is there something truly unique about Duranies?  Something different than other ( Read more... )

I am frustrated.  I decided a few weeks ago to get off my butt and start doing something productive.  Part of the something productive was going to be political in nature.  I was active in college.  I was active when I first graduated from college.  Of course, teaching wore me down.  I can't let that be anymore.  Yes, I still believe that teaching ( Read more... )

I wish someone would invent a time machine.  I'm absolutely terrible when it comes to time.  I crave the power to speed up time to get to something fun, something exciting and slow it down in the moment.  Weird, huh?

I came back from New York City a week ago.  I saw my boys (Duran) in concert on Broadway in a small theater.  The show itself was ( Read more... )

 I have many things to look forward to.  Duranland has been super busy and I have another show to go to in December.  Sara is going with for that one.  I'm excited about my two shows.  I'm thrilled with their upcoming TV appearances.  I like how Duranies are coming out of the woodwork to join in at all of the excitement.  It has definitely put me ( Read more... )
