I like to watch movies of all kinds. I’ll pretty much watch anything – goo, bad, indifferent – and the genre doesn’t really matter that much to either. This is particularly true if I am dealing with some insomnia, as happens to me from time to time and is something I have to deal with […]


It’s a rainy, dreary, cold day here in my part of New York today, not at all the ideal day you want to have to kick off the first unofficial weekend of summer or a three-day weekend, but hey, we work with the cards we are dealt and move on.Since we’re trapped inside today, Michelle […]


Gack, it seems like it has been a constant cycle of sickness around here for the last few weeks and I haven’t had time to get anything done. I was going through some illness with withdrawal from the Lyrica and then got a cold, and then Sean has been sick with a respiratory infection, so […]


‘The Dark Knight Rises’ on AFI’s best-movies list | Inside Movies | EW.com. It’s getting to be that time of year where people rank their top movies, books TV shows, etc. for the year. Now, I don’t go out to the movies a lot myself, but I do watch a lot of movies at home. […]

30Nov12

Okay, so in my last post I asked what your favorite Christmas movie, TV show or cartoon might be. I got some diverse answers, although a number of people chose “Frosty the Snowman” as their favorite. That used to be one of Sean’s favorites when he was little; he wanted to watch it all the […]


Okay, now that Thanksgiving is over, it seems everyone is ready to jump right into the Christmas season. The days seem to accelerate towards Christmas and New Years this time of year and we all get so busy that we blink and the holiday is here already. It already feels that way to me. I […]


I have wanted to blog for the last few days, but I have had this horrible cold that just does not want to go away. So instead of doing productive things like working, blogging, cleaning the house, etc., I have been sleeping, taking medicine and being generally lethargic and miserable. I am feeling a little […]


It’s funny when I sit down to write things. I have little notepads and notebooks all over the house where I write ideas down all the time. I keep one on my nightstand, one on my desk, one on the table next to my chair in the living room, I even have one in the […]


Phobophobia

30Oct12

I had planned to write about fear all along with Halloween coming tomorrow. It seemed like a good topic that could bring some interesting conversation. With all that has happened in the last few days with Hurricane Sandy and the destruction left in its wake, it seems like an even more appropriate topic. We all […]


I really don’t about a lot of things. New medicine for me means the return of side effects until my body gets used to the new dosage. This means some days I am extremely tired, some days I amĀ nauseousĀ for hours, some days I am lightheaded and have to sit constantly. There are lots of other […]
