Just saw the Skeleton Key this afternoon on a whim.
Set in the bayous of Louisiana, it is a suspense movie hinging around the mystical beliefs of Hoodoo (related to, I believe, Voodoo, but different).
The movie has some suspenseful moments, but as usual I bought into those types of scenes more than Ian. It had a […]

Don’t be that shocked. I do occasionally blog on the weekend. Yesterday evening I went over to my brother’s and sister-in-law’s for a ’salsa tasting’ party. A few of my brother’s co-workers and some of their friends were there. We had a really nice time, I made my now famous guacamole (which is really Ian’s […]

‘Nuff said Arianna. You go girl. All twenty-five of us liberals here in ‘Merica are listenin’ sistah!!

Well, we celebrated AA.com’s 10 year anniversary today at work. Let me tell you, it was a BIG deal! Balloons, cake, ice cream, even, yes, that’s right, FREE MOUSEPADS!
And all that for a little site that has 1 million unique visitors a day and generates this company $20 million a day in revenue.
Yeah. […]

Apparently Supreme Court nominee advised O’Connor to be vague in her responses to nomination hearing questions on specific issues.
I actually support this. On both sides we have people who would yes or no someone based on whether they would or would not support gay rights, abortion rights, etc. We need smart, fair, open minded […]

I just finished reading The Birthday of the World and other stories by Ursula K. Le Guin (thanks Laura!). And, I couldn’t get to sleep just yet so I thought I’d blog about it.
Le Guin is a fantastic author. I’ve read some short stories she wrote about her Earthsea fantasy setting, and a few other […]

I haven’t blogged much recently you say? Well, aren’t you the sharp one. Now go bugger off.
No, wait, only teasing. Just haven’t been in a blogalicious mood I suppose. That, and not an awful lot happening besides keeping busy at work, going home and crashing.
I used to blog about every crazy, weird little […]

I support the HRC (Human Rights Campaign) and I ordered an HRC cap recently. But let me just tell you, if you want to support them, mail them a check, don’t use their online store! The order took much longer than they said it would, the charge kept appearing then disappearing on my statement, and […]

An interesting site on religious tolerance, I came across it actually looking into the BC/AD vs. BCE/CE notation for years. They talk about numerous hot topics and represent the viewpoints of conservatives, moderates and liberals.
This particular link is to their section on homosexuality. Very good reading, I highly recommend it. In fact, I would love […]

After the funeral we came back and ended up visiting with our friends Chris, James, Brian, Layton, and Jeff. Somehow Sordid Lives came up and we ended up watching that movie.
For all of my family that reads this, you need to go rent this film and watch it if you haven’t seen it yet. Especially […]
