My dear friend Patty sent me this article on my Facebook wall this morning: By George, Give Up! One critic begs and pleads George Lucas to PLEASE STOP already! …After 22 years of product management, Lucas returned to directing with the unfortunate “Phantom Menace,” and completed the prequel trilogy with “Attack of the Clones” and… Continue reading Patty, You Read My Mind

The Stuff of Nightmares
On Sunday I had the privilege of watching my first and last episode of Rock of Love 2 with Bret Michaels. The only reason why I watched it was because I love Celebrity Fit Club. With the exception of Dustin and Erin, I like the people,. They seem good people I wouldn’t mind knowing. Most… Continue reading The Stuff of Nightmares
What I Did Today (more on the meal rut thing)

We still enjoy it-we just put in bowls and… Continue reading Is there a trick to it?

I’d love to write a long, leisurely review but Happy Catholic Julie wrote a good one, so I’ll just link to it and say, “what she said”: When “Fin” came up on the screen, I suppressed an impulse to applaud. No need.… Continue reading Happy Ratatouille-viewing Catholic
One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall
We saw The Transfomers last night and it sucked. OK, it was slightly better that I expected so let’s get the good part out. Optimus, who was voiced by the original Optimus, Peter Cullen, recited the above line and Rosey Posey said she thought she saw my eyes tear up. That was cool albeit totally… Continue reading One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall
