I have been watching the second season online and I am EAGERLY (but patiently!) awaiting the fourth episode to be posted *twiddlesthumbs* ;)

I watched the second season of "True Blood" online in 4 days!! There were 12 episodes in total (same as season one). I have to admit to getting addicted quickly - I couldn't stop watching them! I am becoming a fan of Eric!!! *gasp*

I am not impressed with the CW's "Vampire Diaries". Another teenaged angst show but with vampires :(

I discovered that I can't access Livejournal at work AGAIN! The firewalls were down for about a year and now they have been slammed back up - I was disappointed about this.

I bought season's tickets to the ballet this year :) I get to see 4 ballets, including one called "Elton" based on Elton John's music - I am really excited about seeing that one in May 2010!!

Childless re-boot! They are safely back to their respective universities and already a bit overwhelmed with adjustments - o well, such is life when you are a student (parent, human being, etc!)

I am adjusting (again) to being on my own. I really like being on my own - not a real good 'compromiser' ;) Plus the new season of TV has started!! God I love my PVR!

I am going to put in a cut because of possible spoilers for Supernatural...

Now back to our regular programming ;)

I hope to get my ass out of the house more this fall. I hope to join a social dance club - perhaps even meet someone!?!?!?!

I spent way too much money this summer. I am going to have to budget better. I found out that my sister was laid-off from her job. I am sick of this recession :(

I went last night with my daughters (who are both home now!!!). WOW!! I highly recommend seeing this one - great back stories about Kirk and Spock. I was very impressed with Zachary Quinto's interpretation of Spock - way sexy for a Vulcan ;). Chris Pine's blue eyes are lovely ;) And I am looking forward to reading slash based on the new Kirk/Spock !!

Possible Spoilers for Supernatural, Smallville and other TV shows!!

I have had a busy and fun weekend :)

Friday night I went to the ballet. I am thinking of buying season's tickets for next season, which starts in September.

My daughters are home this month from their first year at university!! K is home on Apr 16 and B is home on Apr 28!

I spent yesterday and today 'spring cleaning'. I washed all their bedding. Plus washed curtains and windows in my house. It's good to finally be able to have the windows open to let in fresh air!!

It almost feels like spring today. The snow is melting and the sun is shining. It has been a long, up and down winter here (weather-wise)

I turned off all my electronics and lights and plugged in my battery operated MP3-player into my ears :) And I sang out loud - played with my cats - I had lots of candles out - put away clean clothes to candle light.

Calgary actually used more energy during last year's Earth Hour (increase of over 3%!). Last night there was a 1% drop in usage. We have a way to go!

just some random thoughts and things to post...

I went to a Sunday afternoon matinee by myself to watch Slumdog Millionaire. It was very well done.

At times it was difficult to watch. I hate to see children suffering :( I was also reminded of my trip to Cairo - the garbage, the poverty, and the children begging.

But really it was about love, hope and truly believing :)

I am torn between Slumdog and Benjamin Button. There were quite a few similarities between the two films.

I finally saw The Curious Case of Benjamin Button last night! I was worried about it being almost 3 hours long (was with all the previews!), but the movie flew by. I enjoyed it. It was beautifully shot and the special aging/de-aging effects were flawless. When we see Benjamin old (but young) it almost looked like Brad from his Thelma & Louise role! I was awe struck by him! I actually prefer just watching Brad, not hearing him talk or act!! LOL not that I am a stalker or anything ;)
