Worthy News

Are you ready?





Really ready?


You sure?



Ta Daaaaaaaa! Guess what today is...



Oh... ok then. Guess what my newspaper looked like yesterday...

Why does a life so rich suddenly look so trivial when it's blogged?

I've visited blogs of people who are serving or have served humanitarian missions to third world countries, blogs of people training for worthy marathons and charity fundraisers. There's blogs documenting the creative processes--art, theater (that's you PM), cooking. Blogs shouting the triumphs of weight loss or family budgeting.
But here?
Real quality folks.


yeah. Maybe next week I can blog something riveting about my love for Dorritos...

Stop Barking, I'm Here

Well throw the doggy a bone. I didn't think it could be done, but I am back from the cinema feeling terrible for Jacob! still very much Team Edward though.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, throw that rock from off your body and...

...pick up a copy of New Moon at your local library (thought I was going to say "run to the movies", didn't you?).
****No spoilers here****

I have no idea how these movies come across for the folks who don't eat, drink and breathe Twilight. Negative reviews I've read are from people who haven't read the saga and realistically, a movie should be able to stand on it's own, but I can't help but feel that a movie critic should at least have a little background on the movie he's going to watch (something other than the cheesy preceding film filled with strange stuttering, bad hair and even worse makeup).

Read that run-on sentence like it was meant to be read-- from a breathless, excited movie goer.

Son #2 and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and have intentions of seeing it a few more times. Part of my enjoyment was watching the teenage girls-- loved their energy. I also feel like Chris Weitz is to be congratulated for sticking VERY close to the book and even though he kept a little of Hardwicke's artsy spin on the film, it was done in a way that was more believable. Loved several scenes and wished I had a remote to rewind them, but out of respect for those of you STALLING, I won't discuss them just yet.


Have you been yet? What did you feel was improved ?
When commenting, please be careful not to spoil for anyone-- you could just email me!
When was the last time a book series or movie had you marking days off of a calendar?

Most importantly: Exactly WHEN is Eclipse scheduled to come out?

What if Snow White Had Been Given...

...one of these?
You are looking at a Howgate Wonder, grown locally. I buy them at a carboot (flea market) by the box (which is actually only about 5-6 apples, they're so big). They taste wonderful and are supposedly good for cooking. None of ours ever make it that far. An apple a day...

That's a large Braeburn next to a Howgate.

If Snow White had eaten one of these, all the Princes in the world could've kissed her and it wouldn't have made a bit of difference.





I'm thinking of another apple right now...

In less than 7 hours this Twimom is off to New Moon! Let's see if Chris Weitz can manage to make a dog-lover out of me (good luck, I'm Team Edward all the way!).

When are you going?
