Wow, I guess it's been a while since I've visited this space. I didn't realize it had been so long since I posted anything. What few readers I had have probably wandered off in boredom now. For those you still out there, I'm still alive.
The most interesting thing that has happened has been the addition of two new dogs to our family back in April(Can you hear them barking?). It was supposed to be just one with the second a surprise for my parents. My mother decided she did not want another dog (their dog passed away a couple of years ago), and we could not bring ourselves to part with the little fellow. Our menagerie is holding at six. Hubby keeps saying no to the penguin and the pygmy hippo! Getting everyone settled took quite a bit of time, but we've all survived mostly unscathed.
Nothing interesting on the movie front in quite some time. I loved Iron Man! Hated Kingdom of the Crystal Skull! Zack & Miri was sweeter than I expected, but not too saccharine. Very enjoyable. I'm still waiting to see Quantum of Solace and Twilight.
Oh, that reminds me! I achieved a dream of mine! I got to go to a Kevin Smith Q&A. He actually did on at the local university. The night was phenomenal! Ok, a few of the questions sucked, but Kevin was amazing!! I laughed until my entire body hurt, and then he made me laugh more. The man is awesome!!!!
I have not been able to read as much as I'd like because I started taking a few classes. Textbooks are not as interesting as novels. Someone should do something about that. I have managed to read The Dresden Files up through White Night. I can't wait to get my hands on Small Favor. I also read the first three Twilight books. Not nearly as angsty as I expected. Most recently, I've read the last two Goldy Schulz mysteries (well, I'm still reading the last one.)
One other thing that has consumed a lot of time has been Rock Band! The second is even better than the first. The DLC lately has been nice. Still haven't persuaded hubby to dl the Foo Fighters and RHCP yet, but the day will come. Oh, and Netflix on the 360 freakin' rocks!
I've developed an addiction to Deadliest Catch and Surviorman! Dirty Jobs too! I'll watch these shows whenever they are on, no matter how many times I have seen them. Ok, that's the real reason I haven't been blogging. Damn you, Discovery Channel!!
Just a brief update, more to come -- maybe. :)

lol, agree on the textbook comment. I'd extend that criticism to instruction manuals, which are consistently the poorest written, most confusing messes around.
Loved "Iron Man" as well. "Indy" was a so/so for me; it was great to see the characters again, kind of a popcorn, tongue in cheek type movie but they did seem to diminish Indy a bit by making things a bit too "cartoony" and cute; particularly winced during the "family" arguments. All in all, I liked it though.
All those dogs must be difficult, though rewarding, to care for. Unlike cats who are fairly low maintenance, dogs must go OUT regularly even when the temps drop below zero and the sun isn't up yet. I loved all the dogs I've had but I don't miss those 4AM below zero trips outside to pee.
I'm glad you've returned to blogging. You have an inherent honesty that is evident is everything you write that makes reading your posts entertaining and insightful. Hope you find time to do so more regularly (while simultaneously understanding how difficult it is to be "regular")!
