We had a late spring storm this weekend that started on Friday and finished on Saturday. They were predicted anywhere from 12 - 18 inches (11 - 12 on Friday and 5-6 on Saturday). It started snowing here around 9:30 or 10:00, and even though it snowed pretty heavy at times, it wasn’t sticking at all. By the time I left the office there was really ( Read more... )

Well, Rogue One holds up for a second viewing. I'm writing a longer review, but I'm going to hold off posting it probably until I go on vacation. Partly because I don't want to spoil the movie for anyone, and partly because I'm still chewing over how I feel about this movie. Lots to think about....

This week I re-read Second Mouse (as in, the Second Mouse gets the cheese!), the very awesome Hawkeye/Bond fusion story written by alphaflyer. Then I re-read Loose Ends, which is a short coda to Second Mouse ( Read more... )

Friday I got up and ran through the test connection for the online software (Blue Jeans) that they use for interviews. Good thing I did, because on my old Windows 7 laptop, it didn’t recognize a video camera (my laptop supposedly has one, but half the software I’ve used lately can’t find it). So I pulled out the Windows 10 laptop and set that up ( Read more... )

My friend Kelly used to be one of my movie buddies when we were kids. So I was delighted that she was agreeable to my suggestion that we go see Ghostbusters. She also suggested a double feature! I suggested the new Star Trek movie, but she said she’d heard it was bad and suggested the new Independence Day: Resurgence instead. We checked, but it ( Read more... )
