Independence Day

August 19th, 2008

Yeah, I know it was 6 weeks ago, but I’m talking about the movie.  Did anyone else LOVE the movie?  What were the parts that you liked (or disliked) most?  Having had the honor of meeting Adam Baldwin (and having him pop me in the nose with his elbow) recently, I get a few new thrills just seeing him on the screen.  Keep in mind, he went from the wonderfully clean Capt Mitchell to Jayne Cobb in Firefly.  I love him in both roles.

We had the pleasure of watching this one in a sneak preview, and the end credits weren’t even finalized at that point (a long time ago).  LAter, we got the extra scenes that really padded out the story and stuck a lot closer to the book/novelization.  Lots of stars in this one.  Yes, I know that you have to suspend belief a bit in parts, but it’s quite entertaining!!

I just a few minutes to chat, will get online later.

Let the Blogs begin!!

August 19th, 2008

So, after getting so inspired from World Con, David and I are starting our own blogs.  David got me set up, and I’m reading ‘Word Press for dummies,’ as quickly as I can.  The theme I picked is so cool!  Don’t you agree?

Upcoming stuff…….  I want to talk about some of my favorite books, do reviews of books and movies, and generally chat about stuff.

What’s coming up?  Tomorrow we have our book/media discussion group meeting at Jay’s Diner, Wednesday we have a 60 mins in space, and this weekend we are going to Vegas to have one last fling at the Experience.  How sad that we’re never going to be able to go there again.  We’ll have to make the most of this visit!!  I’m not sure exactly what we’ll do besides hang out at Quarks, but we’ll have fun.

What’s on tv right now?  Venture Brothers!  Brock Samson is being hunted down.  I’ve really missed this show.  Something about Patrick Warburton meets Race Bannon.  sigh.  I have to admit that I’m a little afraid of Dr. Girlfriend.

I was a fan of Jonny Quest (who wasn’t?) and there was an episode of Venture Bros where Race Bannon tracked down Brock, and then was killed.  It was almost too hard to watch.

What are we reading?  I just got a ton of books, and aside from the Dummies Word Press book, I think Linnea Sinclair’s new book might be the best choice.

Guess it’s time to sign off.
