A Barrel of Nelsons

Okay, I haven’t really been inspired lately, I’ve got half-posts in my head, but not real posts, so I thought I’d give you all an update. And by all I mean the 3 of you that might look here every week or so.
What I’m Driving
So after the smash, crash, and it’s-a-total-here’s-some-cash deal with the un-named [...]

We saw Hellboy 2 last weekend. Not bad, not over-the-top great. That’s my vote.
I love comic book movies (or at least the concept of them). My dad’s a bit of a comic book geek, without having or spending a bunch of money on it. I remember him watching the cartoons when I was younger… X-Men [...]

I have a bad tendency to come late to stuff I like. I joined color-guard as a junior in high school. I didn’t start playing DND or other role-playing games until college. I didn’t really drink coffee until I was dating Jeff.
I’ll admit that I got stuck partway through Fellowship of the Ring the first [...]

Previously tentatively titled “99 Updates to Post on this Blog, 99 Updates to post…” but I didn’t think I’d get a full 99, but let’s still count shall we?
1. The Baby Shower was this past Saturday. It went well (according to Sara). I was left a bit frazzled by the end of it, between my [...]

So, yesterday, I commented to Jeff that I was worried that it might take me forever to get a copy of Deathly Hallows through the library. In response, he suggested that possibly we should buy one. He then called the local Borders and asked if there was anyway to reserve one that late in the [...]

On a whim we decided to go the Deathly Hallows celebration at our local Borders. We dressed up. The number we were originally assigned was 540.
We got the first book sold. Jeff won the costume contest. Pictures to come later.

I can barely sit still I’m so fidgety. But I thought I would do a quick run down of how things are shaping up. Hopefully by this weekend I’ll have enough of a handle on myself to write a REAL entry.
- Townhome has it’s deposit down and it’s lease signed. They finished installing new carpet [...]

I haven’t been here again. Sorry. But this time my excuse topped 100 degrees… and it wasn’t outside.
That’s right… during this lovely weekend where local temperatures soared, I’ve been sick.
Bleah.
Luckily my fever’s down and most of my other symptoms are gone or on their way out. Jeff’s been really good about taking care of me.
On [...]

So Jen was posting about Harry Potter and the Anticipation that is the fact that Book 7 comes out in about a month and a half. And also Movie 5. There was some discussion over What’s Up with Snape, Dumbledore: Dead or Faking It? and Harry and Ginny: The X Rated Version. Okay, maybe not [...]

A couple of months ago when I was still working at Purdue, this blog ate some book reviews. I never really got around to reposting them, and some of my memory is a bit fuzzy still, but I really wanted to share this book which I enjoyed.

The Singing Fire by Lilian Nattel
