Where Have All The Movies Gone

Is it just me, or has there been a veritable drought of good movies lately? It seems like the last year or so, only one OK/Good movie has come out at a time, and they are few and far between. You spend 2 hours watching it and then you're bored again, until the next one is out. I remember the days when there were 4 or 5 really awesome movies out and you had to play rock-paper-scissors to decide which one to see first!!

Basically what I'm saying is that I need to see a good movie. If there's any oldies but goodies that I should see, let me know!!

Day Off!!

I had the day off today. It was awesome!! I love a three day weekend. I especially liked this one.

My brother-in-law and his girlfriend came over Saturday/Sunday. He went to school in the college town my husband and I live in, so we went to the local bar (one of the best!) for dinner. Then a late night of playing the Wii and watching "the Office" re-runs. What more could you ask for?

Today, my sisters and I took a road trip to the local IkeaIkea to do some serious shopping. It was really fun!!

Back to work tomorrow, but it's a four day week now, so I'll survive.

Podcast Mania

I have just rediscovered my love of Podcasts. Back 6 or so months ago I was totally into listening to a few Podcasts. Especially Diggnation. Then I drifted away for one reason or another.

Now I have a new job where I can listen to music or whatever during the day. I got a bit tired of music all day, so I thought to myself, "Hmm, perhaps I should load a Podcast or two, just to break up the monotony." So, I did. And then I loaded some more. My husband also suggested a few. Then I decided to check back in with Diggnation, my old favorite. Basically, podcasts all day.

Then, as I listened throughout the day, I started writing down things that I wanted to look up, or check out, or whatever, when I got home. Listening to Diggnation also brought me to the realization that the Ctl+Alt+Chicken concept that was just a gleam in Alex Albrecht's eye was a now a reality. So now, as I surf the web at night, looking up all those things that peaked my curiosity throughout the day, I learn how to "cook" with Alex and Heather. I am obsessed!!! I figure that, as long as I don't start resorting to IM to communicate with my husband, I'm still not too foregone.

I did have to reel it in a bit at work. I was laughing so hard listening to Diggnation, I was starting to sound a bit loony (headphones+ me laughing uncontrollably= no one else knows why I'm laughing= Sarah looks insane).

But on the bright side, my new web-based addiction has brought my blog back to the forefront of my mind. So, I've got that going for me.

Any how, here are some of my favorites:

Ctl+Alt+Chicken
Diggnation
TWIT
Net@Nite
Security Now
Windows Weekly

Wow-Wii

We FINALLY got a Wii. It was totally worth getting up at the butt crack of the morning and standing in arctic conditions (ok, we only had to stand in line for 5 minutes before they handed out the tickets.) It took forever, but we finally did it, and it is FUN!! Plus you get "exercise" if you use the Wii Fitness function.

In any case I love it. I will wait with bated breath until my favorite game of ALL TIME becomes available for dowload. My life wasn't the same after Adventure Island.

My husband is currently playing Zelda, which I have heard is very popular with new Wii owners. I've got to be honest, there is a creepy little kid-type being in the game that speaks with a super creepy spritley voice. It is CREEEE-PY and I hate it. So, for money, the game is only great with the volume off.

I'm Back!!!

I'm back in business!! I have not forsaken you, my devoted readers (Thanks, Ray. Thanks, Sue.) In any case, I will try to keep up on my blog a bit better. Don't hold me to it, but I'll try. More to come...I hope...
