Torchwood Children of Earth - One Year Later...
Today, July 9th is an anniversary of sorts. It's a year to the day that Ianto Jones died in quite possibly the stupidest, most plothole laden episode of a miniseries I have ever seen. Add to that pointless, meaningless and unintentionally funny, i.e "Save your breath", and you get the picture. This was neither stellar writing, nor an extraordinary ( Read more... ) -
Your Rules are Bollocks, Sir,
Last night I went out to dinner to a small pizzeria/ restaurants that serves up impeccable pasta, the likes of which I certainly couldn't make myself. Normally I'm not a fan of baked ziti, but this was delicious - the chef has a light hand with the tomato sauce and rather than being the usual maroon color, it was light red and fresh.

Remember Her
As I was drifting through youtube yesterday, a chance recommendation for a video popped up. It's a video about the life and death of Neda Soltan, a young woman killed by a sniper last year during the Iran election protest marches. Neda was an ordinary young woman, a musician who was moved to take to the streets by the idea of freedom, and she paid ( Read more... ) -

Why I love my supermarket
"Volare, whoa oh
Cantare, whoa, oh, oh, oh
No wonder my happy heart sings
Your love-uh has given me wings." Our local King Kullen is a great supermarket for a variety of reasons. It's immaculately clean, it doesn't have that dirty supermarket smell when you walk in the door, it has fresh, high quality produce and most of all, it plays a ( Read more... ) -
A Sunday Morning in May...
This morning I got up early, brewed a bracing pot of tea, enjoyed breakfast standing up, and then headed out the back door with my brand new mud gloves to plant all the little vegetable and herb plants I picked up yesterday afternoon. ( Read more... ) -
Eleven
The new reign begins. So far, I've seen the new episode, The Eleventh Hour twice, and I unabashedly love it. The actors were perfect, the story was a very nice modern day fairy tale, and there was the right amount of instantaneous chemistry between Doctor and his companion. So why has the euphoria of the past two days suddenly worn off? Simple, ( Read more... ) -
National Body Challlenge: The Second Month
I held off looking at a scale until this morning, and now I'm both glad and sorry I did. ( Under the cut... ) -

Empty nest syndrome
"She's leaving home, bye, bye." - The Beatles
This was the year I learned that motherhood shifts and changes, that children whether they have wings or car keys, will take off into the blue wonder, and leave you standing at the window, wondering when this great change happened, and what exactly is it that you are supposed to do now that the apron ( Read more... )
