Tonight the fam went out for dinner with some semi-long lost relatives. Y'see, my grandmother's family is kind of non-traditional and slightly facocta and she has a sister who happens to also my mother's age...because Great Grampa H kinda got around. He was also a Yankees fan, but we'll ignore that for it is probably the least of his transgressions ( Read more... )

Momma D was watching Ghost in the living room and I considered joining her, but it was making me a tad bit sniffly. Y'see, since I was but a wee child, I've always thought that Patrick Swayze looked like my late uncle Jeff and as such have always associated one with the other. So, I had this sentimental attachment to The Swayze and I was more than ( Read more... )

I haven't been to the movies in five years (mainly due to my disinclination to venture into public places) and I wasn't even sure if I was going to see Mr. Potter in the theatre or just wait for the DVD as per usual. Well, Momma D suggested that we go...even though she doesn't give a cow flop about Harry Potter or his ilk...because she's awesome. ( Read more... )

Ah, crud, Frank McCourt died.

Such an interesting life. Such an engaging writer. I never drank more tea in my life than I did during the week I read Angela's Ashes and though I was reading that book for a class (y'all know how that can be sometimes), I ate up every word. I loved his other two books as well. RIP, Teacher Man.

Earlier this week I gave into the hype and read Twilight which was not the greatest thing I've ever read, but, then again, I don't exactly fall within the desired demographic for such, dare I call it, literature. The very next day after I finished the first book (I may or may not read New Moon) I watched the movie which can be described as such: ( Read more... )

BRENNAN: Who's stronger: Wonder Woman or Cat Woman?

ZACK & HODGINS [in unison]: Wonder Woman.

BRENNAN: I agree...vehemently!

-Bones 3x05 The Mummy in the Maze

Haha...damn I love this show. Even reruns that I've seen ten times.

( ...while the band in my head plays a striptease. )

I would be lying if I said that I haven't been rockin' out to MJ here and there this week. The music was awesome, I'm reminding myself of how much I really enjoyed it when I was a wee child, and frankly, the man made some ass-kickin' videos. In honor of that. YouTube spam ( Read more... )

I am unabashedly in love with Coldplay, and I don't care who knows. Music snobs be damned. They make my earholes happy and that's all that matters to me. In light of this, the Song of the Week is "Life in Technicolor II" from the Prospekt's March EP. What's the difference between "Life in Technicolor II" and regular old "Life in Technicolor"? Well ( Read more... )

Right now there is a pineapple sitting on the kitchen counter. I've never in my thirty years been up close and personal with a whole pineapple and I felt that it was time to rectify that situation. They were also on sale last week. How could one pass that up? I didn't realize how heavy it would be. You could totally subdue someone with a pineapple ( Read more... )
