louder please

speak up, i can't hear you

closed for the season

| February 23, 2009

It all started with a someecard my husband jokingly set me. Not only did it serve to remind me that Lent follows Mardi Gras (something I seem to forget year to year), but it got me thinking: what would life be like if I gave up the internet? Before I could get very far in [...]

Oscars 2008 – Movie Bingeing Snapshots

| February 22, 2009

For the past few years, one of the local movie chains in our area hosts an “Oscar Showcase” the day before the Oscars. All 5 Best Picture nominated films are shown back to back starting at 10:30 in the morning until they’re over. I tried my best in the 30 minute breaks between shows to [...]

Getting over it: more posts on murmur.com

| February 21, 2009

After the initial positive reception and kick-start feeling I received on murmur.com I planned on posting about once a week. I jotted down ideas, I wrote stuff down. I got distracted by Fable 2 and turned that into a murmur post instead of other things I had sitting on my hard drive 50-75% complete. Then [...]

It’s time for this week’s installment of Grey’s Anatomy: An Honest Mistake I think I’m getting the hang of not-live blogging, now.

| February 19, 2009

Again with the Not-Live Blogging thing? Yep. I had enough fun doing Grey’s and kept wanting to do it while watching Heroes (but didn’t because i suspect the constant pausing would have driven Ryan a wee bit crazy), that I’m doing it again. This time, I’m doing Top Chef Season 5 Episode 13 – the [...]

“Live Blogging” Grey’s Anatomy Episode 5.15

| February 16, 2009

I confess. Nothing about this is “live”. It’s the Monday after the episode aired, so the show is certainly not live. Also, while I’m recording my thoughts as I have them (and labeling them with the minutes into the show), I’m not re-publishing this after every thought. Instead, I’m just going to post this when [...]
