I've lived my entire life in Denver.   In the exact same house.  And today, I learned something I never knew about this city--apparently, we only have enough professional sports mojo to support one really good team at time.  And the Rockies used it all.  The Rockies make an unbelievable run to get in the playoffs and then sweep the division series ( Read more... )

My fortune cookie tonight was, once again, fortune-less.  It did, however, give a specific directive, but it's a little vague and generalized for actual use: "Tomorrow morning, take a left turn as soon as you leave home."  As you can imagine, I have some issues:

1) I probably won't leave the house before noon tomorrow since I don't have to be in the ( Read more... )

So, I'm pretty sure that I'm going to go back to school in the spring, and guess what? The only school *anywhere* in the vicinity that has the three programs I want is the one I already graduated from and disliked greatly.  Not to mention the fact that a 2+ hour commute everyday would be a bit much for my car and me, but I can't really get around ( Read more... )

From accesshollywood.com:
"David sat down with Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush, and he revealed that not only is there a script for the “X-Files” sequel - he’s actually read it!"

And, there's been lots of talk about it being a stand-alone story without the mythology aspects, but, how are they gonna get around the fact that Mulder and Scully are on the ( Read more... )

I got a new phone yesterday.  It's awesome.  It's tiny and cute, has Donald & Daisy as my "wallpaper", and plays the Pirates theme when it rings (except when it's my dad--then it plays the Cheers theme).  And it folds and has a camera.  Yes, I have officially entered the 21st century.  Except I now pay the bill, so, that's sad.  But, I did get a ( Read more... )

3) The Office

5) The Simpsons

1) Who is your favorite character from #2? Lorelai.  Because of her overall fabulousness and her snappy one-liners.

2) Who is your least favorite character from #4?  Kate ( Read more... )

as I finished Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows today. I had to read it faster than I really wanted to because I really didn't want it ruined.  I don't understand people who get it at midnight then spend the whole night reading it straight though--seems very anti-climatic to me.  Anyway, here are my thoughts, or at least, my thoughts at this ( Read more... )

I just happened upon Days of Our Lives today, and after catching it a few times previously and seeing all the fabulously soapy Brady v. DiMera stuffs, I believe I am officially re-addicted.  John and Marlena were my first real 'ship, and get this, they are actually married, in love, and going on an adventure...wait for it...together.  I think that' ( Read more... )

For future reference, if you're planning on taking chile rellenos to your lame grandma for dinner and have a mixture of uncooked eggs, milk, and flour in a red pitcher, don't spill it in your car, not notice and then let your car sit in the sun for several days.  Especially don't spill it in the crack in the bench seat in the back.  It's nearly ( Read more... )

The new score is awesome--almost as good as Black Pearl.  And I am suddenly finding swordfighting incredibly hot.  So, at 10:00 tonight, I will be indulging in the hotness that is Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow and the brilliance that is Pirates of the Caribbean.

P.S. I actually do have a life, Pirates is just far more entertaining.  Just ( Read more... )
