Banny's Back! Banny's Back!
Royals Recall Bannister
Did I mention that he moonwalked across the stage at Fan Fest? Banny's awesome. You know...as a person. Here's hoping he's got his stuff together so that he is back to being awesome as a #5 starter as well.
Love you Banny! -
Books and books
I snagged this from someone else's lj and now I've forgotten who. My apologies!
Apparently “The Big Read” assumes that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed.
Wow, really?
1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicize those you intend to read.
3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) Reprint this list in ( Read more... ) -

Breaking Dawn Movie
It seems they've already started the debate about whether or not they should make "Breaking Dawn" into a movie. LA Times comes down on the side of "no" but I come down on the side of "yes" for a couple of reasons.
First, to dispute the Times main reason of the source material being too long and weird - hey, they can just cut all that out. It's ( Read more... ) -
Happy Thanksgiving! (Three Days Late)
A (totally random and incomplete) list of what I'm thankful for this year:- must always start with my loving, smart, loyal, obnoxious family. This year I'm especially thankful for my grandma, whose health is deteriorating rapidly, but who always seems to be ready to laugh at herself (and us) even when what she's laughing about is the fact that she's ( Read more... )

Twilight Movie Reaction
Okay...just got home from seeing Twilight. It's 2:44am. I'm tired, even though I rarely go to bed much before this anyway, especially on my day off. Here are some of my initial reactions:- The movie was neither as bad as I'd feared or as good as I'd hoped. There were some moments that were really freakin' cool and then there were some really ( Read more... )

Electoral College
So recently my dad's coffee group was discussing the Electoral College and he was in the minority that was arguing that it should *not* be abolished. So when he got home he e-mailed and asked for my help in better formulating his arguments. I didn't ever realize that I had a strong opinion about it, but the more I thought about it, the more I ( Read more... ) -
Voting!!
Voting Day is one of my favoritest days of all. And I got to do it today! We have early voting here in Kansas, and I was a little reluctant to vote early, even though my work schedule/sleep habits are such that Tuesdays aren't the most convenient days for errands (not that I would ever let that stop me). I just love Voting Day - the waiting in ( Read more... ) -
The Grossest of the Grossest
Meet my dog Henry. Tonight, just after dinner and not long before bedtime we let him out in the backyard for his post-dinner pee. I'm not really sure what it was he rolled in, but we smelled it before we saw it, and my normally white & tan dog had most of the right side of his neck, one shoulder and his back covered in something brown and mucky ( Read more... )
