Tigs and I have been making an effort to use up the various free and discounted movie tickets that we’ve amassed. Here are some brief reviews.

Hanna - an artsy action movie with a well done story. It manages to be exceptionally beautiful, while being exceptionally violent at the same time. I highly recommend it. Cate Blanchett was amazingly creepy ( Read more... )

Without a daily meme post there is definitely a little less impetus to get a post posted, not that I was great doing it with the meme either, but it helped.  It isn’t like I don’t have things that I want to write about, but at the end of the day (which happens earlier and earlier now) there just aren’t enough hours to do everything that I need to ( Read more... )

Day 27 - A movie that you wish you had seen in theaters

Though I can be terrible at keeping this updated with "real” updates.

Snowpocolypse / Snowmagedon / Snownami 2010The two storms that smacked the mid-Atlantic were a godsend. It was the perfect excuse to enjoy being home with my family. It did require that both Tigs and I had to use some PTO that we hadn’t planned on, but it was totally worth it ( Read more... )

The days are perceptibly becoming longer. It’s no longer dark at 5pm, and it hit 50 degrees today. Of course I know there is still a lot of winter that we’ll need to get through before we can really say that spring has arrived. In fact, just by writing about this in January I’m dooming myself to a really miserable February, weather-wise ( Read more... )

Last year I made the following resolutions:

Get a job in accounting or finance - Mostly failed

Read 50 books - Succeeded! (still need to do the post for the last few)

Take the keyboard out of the box and actually play it - Failed

Begin to take the CPA exam - Failed

Build a gaming table, and begin to populate it with terrain - Succeeded ( Read more... )
