80? Dang, that's a little too warm, especially since it ain't even summer or SPRING yet. Was around the 50s here. GREAT weather.

It should be in the 60's this weekend.

Spring started here a week ago with rain coming in every two or three days. Fluxuates between the upper 60s and low 80s. About the best weather we'll have all year!

I have two kids - a six year old boy and nine year old girl. Their cousins are in between their ages and are have Spring Breaks too, so most of the week is filled with either playing over here or going to Grandmas.

I had one of those rare days today - no kids at home. I was able to get my ebay/paypal all set up to start posting my vast comic collection! I'm not expecting big bucks, but every little bit counts towards our planned trip to Disney World later this year.

Tomorrow is back to work!

I think I may bundle Kylee up and take her to the park tomorrow. She loves to play outside, and then she gets very angry when you make her go home. LOL

Ah yes - I love running their little engines down with a whole lot of exercise!

Here's a trick I learned with my son when he didn't want to leave the park. Tell her "I bet you I can beat you to the car!" A little competition always gets my son going in the direction I want him to go in.

Yay for feeling bettter!

I enjoyed the 300 last night. Lost of blood and violence. LOL The naked adolescent girl oracle wierded me out, but I am sure the group of men I went to go see it with enjoyed it I didn't think the plot was bad at all despite what critics say. They go off about "blah blah blah historical accuracy". Please, get a grip, it is a movie based on a graphic novel based on a movie that is semi-historical. How historical can you really be when trying to depict something that happenned over 2K years ago? The winners write history however they want to anyways.

Aeson, the blood spurts at time almost looked like thrown rose petals (because of the slow motion). I wonder if that was done on purpose? I think that looked cool.

The only thing I gotta wonder about the movie is why was the traiterous politician carrying around the enemies' gold....on him? You'd think he would hide it not carry it around? The only thing we can think of is that maybe he brought it to bribe people, but they depicted the Spartans as a proud people, I wonder how many of them would have gone traiterous? Of course, you are talking about politicians. :\ In any nation at any time I can see them being treacherous. (This coming from the girl who would love to get into politics lol).

I've been thinking of seeing it.... either in the theater or DVD. I found out that during our con, Jim Butcher snuck out and went to go see it. He liked it.

He got fed up that the hive slowed down I think......I think it just goes through spurts. Some of are Most of us just have geeky boring lives and run out of things to talk about. LOL

Or going to conventions and hanging out with some writers.....

And then posting on Friday night after having about 5 lemon drops (not the candy!!). 'Tis fun.

It's especially annoying when you see the previews for a comedy and the jokes in the preview are the only good jokes in the movie.

Or all the action in an action movie. That's what made Payback (the Mel Gibson movie) suck as all the action it seemed was in the trailer. The movie itself plodded along and had to wake up by watching a Trek movie.

There is no life ...
