  • "Left 4 Dead" vs. "Diary of the Dead"

    Yesterday, I participated in two very different zombie experiences. First, I watched the 2007 (I think) George Romero movie, “Diary of the Dead”. I thought, hey, it’s Romero! It’s GOT to be amazing, right? Wrong. It was nothing special. Cheese, for sure. Then, last night, I played the video game “Left 4 Dead”, which I’ve actually done for the past three nights. (And, by the way, I finally beat all 4 main campaigns plus the extra Crash Course campaign, yay for me!) The zombies in one were extremely different from the zombies in the other. According to most die-hard zombie…

  • Happy Hello Kitty Find

    Yesterday, I was able to go to the Crabtree Mall. Now, the cool thing about Crabtree is that they have a Sanrio store. Other than that, it’s basically just a mall. It’s out of the way for G and I, so we don’t typically go there unless we’re specifically going to the Sanrio store, which isn’t too often. (At least not often enough for my tastes :P) But yesterday, I had two meetings in the area near the mall, and since they were a few hours apart, I decided to indulge myself by going to Crabtree and looking around. It…

  • Winter Wonderland

    Another snow! That’s three decent snows this year! The first one was the best because it was more like six inches that stuck around for a few days, but a little snow like we had last night is fine too. I think it’s so beautiful as it’s coming down. I stepped outside this morning and it almost sounds like it is raining – which has to be from the fact that the snow is already starting to melt. How sad. But totally understandable since just last weekend it was fifty something and sunny. Actually, I think it’s supposed to be…

  • Snickerdoodle’s Hair Cut!

    Snickerdoodle got a hair cut! And boy did she need it!! OMG, I wish I had a “before” pic so that you could see just how out of hand she had gotten. Her hair was wild, and I mean seriously wild. She had this ever growing collection of undercoat or just shaggy hair that kept leaving little white puffy balls of hair all over our carpet. And her nails were crazy long. (I hate to cut dog nails, so scared I will hurt them!) So yesterday, I bit the expensive Pet Smart bullet and had her groomed. *So hard to…

  • Extra Purple Me

    Saturday I decided to go super-purple. When I first put a purple streak in my hair, I was just testing it out to see how it looked. But the truth is that just one visible purple streak didn’t feel like enough. I wanted more. So Saturday, I took the leap. I pulled out six individual sections of hair and bleached them, preparing to make just those sections purple. But then G suggested that I just put the purple everywhere. That way, the purple would go really purple on the bleached places, but just a subtle purple on the brown hair….

  • Book 5: Shutter Island

    I notoriously have several books going at once, but sometimes that is the mark of a so-so book. If I can read three other books while I’m also reading yours, maybe yours just isn’t the best book I ever read. On the other hand, sometimes it means that I’m just not in the right mood for that particular book. Such seems to be the case with “The Gunslinger”. My sister bought G and I the entire Dark Tower series, and I started to read the first book, but I just haven’t really been in the mood. Maybe I just got…
