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 !!

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!

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 ;)

I had a quiet weekend, but OOOO so productive! I felt like I was in 'spring-cleaning' mode today! Organizing all my piles of paper and stuff to be recycled :) Nice feeling to get that done.

I have been watching season 3 of Dexter online. It's not as involving as season 1 or 2. Maybe because the 'shock' value of watching a psychopath live has worn out it's welcome??!! I still like it, mostly because of Michael C Hall's acting, he is fascinating :)

I watched the season premiere of Lie To Me with Tim Roth. It's along the same lines as The Mentalist, but different! I was intrigued by it, so will continue to watch until it a)frustrates me, or b)is cancelled!!!!
13th-Jan-2009 09:28 am - True Blood

I started watching True Blood online Monday night. I have watched 4 of 12 episodes so far - and I am totally HOOKED!! If you don't know the premise, it's basically an AU world where vampires have 'come out of the coffin' because the 'Japanese have invented synthetic blood' making it safe for them to reveal themselves. The show is set in the south (Lousianna).

The main character is a young woman, Sookie, who is telepathic. She works at a bar where she meets a costumer whose thoughts she can't read, and who is a vampire (named Bill). Anyway the chemistry between Sookie and Bill is intense!

Sookie has a 'man-whore' brother (Jason) who is getting himself into all kinds of trouble. The actor who plays Jason has this sexy hot body *drool* ;)

I am curious if others have seen the show and whether it's coming back for a second season.

I am back to work after being off since December 19! Yeah, it's hard being here. I took one daughter to the airport at 5:30 this morning. She has a long day commuting back to NB. The other daughter head's out tomorrow morning. I am going to miss them so very much :( But then they are home for the summer in April sometime :)

I had a quiet Christmas break, spending as much time as I could with my girls, when they weren't at their dad's!

I am one year older - not liking birthdays!! But I am hoping that 2009 is going to be a better year, maybe a relationship is in the cards for me?!?!?!
