This is a sad post for me to write – a veteran trainer, Dawn Brancheau, was killed yesterday by an Orca whale at Sea World in Orlando, Florida. Reports of the incident have been conflicting, but it seems that the trainer was pulled into the tank when the giant sea mammal grabbed her ponytail. She […]

Being sick for three days threw off my already crummy sleep schedule. I was up way too late last night, and I got tired way too early this evening (5:30ish). I ate some dinner and got a second wind. I sure hope it lasts until a decent hour to go to bed, but not too
A week ago (sadly, my most recent blog post) I blogged about a school district monitoring their students by remotely turning on the webcams of their school-issued laptops. This story has really ballooned. On one site I have been following a thread about it and many links have been posted. Here are a few- click
If memory serves, Stephen King’s Storm of the Century was a mini-series in the late 90s. It definitely was not a theatrical release since I watched the 2hr15min first part tonight. I have seen many of King’s other movies and this one definitely ranks VERY high. Maybe it’s because Mr. King actually had a hand

Not really, because I am so NOT PERFECT in any (rather long every) way. I see by the old stat count that I have reached a total of 666 posts (I’ll get off that with this one). The title… a friend recently posed an interesting question. Does acting make you more humble when it comes

I have heard all kinds of forecasts for the next day or so. I will let Nature take her course and live with what we are given. This afternoon, Megan and I had made plans to see Shutter Island. The first I had come into knowledge of the movie was the trailer during the Super

I’ve been under the weather the past few days with a cold that just wouldn’t give up. My nose has finally stopped run 24 hours a day, and my throat is allowing me to talk with a normal voice again. No fever, no body ache, just headache, sore throat and a nose that wouldn’t quit.

In attempts to keep the length down to a reasonable amount (showing clips of the 10 films nominated for best picture would seem like it would go on longer than the typical 3-4 hour event), there have been a few strategies put in place for the Academy Awards. First of all, the nominees for best
