From today’s Star Wars weather forecast: Oh my. -15°F, Fair? It’s like Hoth out there. Cold, ice, freezing desolation. You may have to climb inside a tauntaun for warmth. -15!? Double digits below zero mean I may not leave the house today despite the fact I had plans for a movie.

unclogging the neural network
Commencing brain dump in 3… 2… 1… We’re squarely into fall. What have I been doing since August? I seem to be busy. I don’t have kids, but things get busy when the kids and college students go back to school. As always there is Iowa Hawkeye football with Saturday-consuming fun that includes tailgating, painful [...]
This may be it
It’s 3:20AM and I’m still awake post ‘Indy 4.’ The movie was fun and I enjoyed it a lot. It was kind of ridiculous at points, but still a great way to revist one of the best movie characters ever. Harrison Ford beats up a lot of people and that never ceases to amuse. I [...]
In under the wire
Forty three minutes left in today and I’m just getting time to sit down with an internet connection. It was a lovely day after Thanksgiving day. This morning my mom and I went and got my Christmas tree. It was a spur-of-the-moment change of plans before she left town. The tree was procured at my [...]
Addiction fed
Nothing like an epic movie about drug trafficking in 1970′s New York to satisfy my need to see a movie in the theaters. Added bonus of it being a $5 matinée. [Which I realize I should mention would be American Gangster.] I will have real movie reviewer thoughts tomorrow. Now its like 8:30pm and I [...]
My inner fangirl says what?
She says: SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE! (For those who don’t know, that’s the sound of ultimate excitement.) First, I read that Joss Whedon (he of Buffy, Angel, and Firefly/Serenity fame) is bringing his Jossy goodness back to television sometime this spring (hopefully) with a new show called, Dollhouse, starring Elisha Dushku (formerly ‘Faith’ from Buffy & Angel). My [...]
the truth is still out there
As my iPod shuffled the song “Mulder and Scully” (a random British pop song from when I lived abroad) into my ears, workJeff™ informed me that the internets were reporting that the next X-Files movie is scheduled to start filming on December 10th. Oh sweet cinematic happiness. My favorite TV show ever gives me something [...]
no offense to you kids with kids
but this news bite from the IMDB today made me smile: Theaters Begin Barring Children Some theater chains have begun barring children from theaters after 8:30 p.m. if they are not accompanied by their parents — in hopes of attracting more adults who are put off by the disruptive behavior of some kids, according to [...]
And remember, people, that no matter who you are and what you do to live, thrive and survive…
Right now my iPod contains The Blues Brothers soundtrack and it makes me happy and has been getting me through this week at work. Especially this part: We certainly hope you all enjoy the show. And remember, people, that no matter who you are and what you do to live, thrive and survive, there’re still [...]
