I really, really thought you would beef up your offensive line, after it cost you the Super Bowl last year. What gives? Yesterday's game was typical- the pocket collapses over and over, and Purdy is constantly scrambling. Meanwhile, the other team's quarterback has TELENOVAS worth of time to throw the ball. Geez! /o ( Read more... )

So, I broke a toe again last week. :( The second in this rental house, and once again by wish-boning the toes on my right foot ( Read more... )

Sacramento's ridiculous heat has forced me to spend EVEN MORE time biking in the garage over the last couple of weeks, so I have yet more TV shows and such to recommend.

I put Shameless on pause because I ate through S7 and S8 in two weeks, thanks to the weather. I don't want it to be over too soon ( Read more... )

We're near the end of a long heat wave in Sacramento (I hope). It might dip below 100o tomorrow, for the first time in 9 days. This reminds me of my first summer here, where there were 10 straight days of heat at 105+ in a row. That was when I learned that you can get cabin fever in the summertime in this climate. :O

My last day of biking outside ( Read more... )

Well, so much for the 3-day weekend! That was over much too quickly. :(

I spent much of it trying to write my Idol story for this week. I started out with non-fiction in mind, then switched to a fairy-tale, then a comedic ghost story, and finally decided on a poem. I think 3 abandoned starts is probably a new record for me. :O The final story is ( Read more... )

Apparently, TODAY is the last day to vote for this week's Idol Survivor entries! I don't know whether the deadline got moved or what, but in any case, my story is here, with a link to the poll at the bottom so you can vote for all the entries you enjoy!

Our family watched Rare Exports via Hulu yesterday, on a friend's recommendation. It's a ( Read more... )

Our vacation (just a week ago) seems so far away now. It's amazing what a week back at work will do to you. :O

It's starting to sink in that our time with The Boy is running out. I'll have to drive him back to L.A. around Sept. 20, which is less than a month away. He's been busy working all summer, and has vacation plans with his uncle coming up ( Read more... )

Yes, we saw Deadpool 2 last weekend. We never saw Deadpool 1, but that's okay. Much like never having seen Thor-we still enjoyed the heck out of Thor: Ragnarok and all its hilariousness. Neither of us is a fan of the superhero genre, so it's more about the exceptions. Batman-the first two Tim Burtons and the Christopher Nolan set. Iron Man. The ( Read more... )

Awhile back, I mentioned seeing LEGO Batman on a Target TV commercial. One of you said that "Batman plus LEGO lobsters" was a reference to the LEGO Batman Movie, which prompted me to move it up in our Netflix queue. Oh, man ( Read more... )

At three weeks post-CT, but still no biopsy appointment yet. Nagged the GP yesterday, so she's prepared to nag radiology all day today until they schedule something...

This past weekend, we saw The Shape of Water, which was really something. Such an interesting story, and it has such an individual style and approach. Some moments were a little TMI ( Read more... )
