Odd, But Cool

Lately I’ve been coming across some intriguing things on the Internet, and decided today to share some with you.  This isn’t rocket science, and it won’t strain your brain, but some of them may make you smile or go “Hmmmm?”

When I Am Queen…Who Dies?

Okay, today I’m introducing what will be a new regularly-occurring feature of this blog entitled “When I Am Queen.”  I have this fantasy of living in a world where the good prosper and the bad are punished.  I visualize things making sense and justice prevailing.  But, whenever I listen to the news or pick up [...]

Our Good Old “Olden” Days?

A friend recently forwarded me the following interesting memory, and it immediately reminded me how much simpler life used to be, before the United States turned into the capital of  “political correctness.” This was back before it became fashionable to be a “victim,” when people weren’t sue-crazy and everyone took responsibility for themselves.  The piece [...]

“Whiteout” – The Movie

I don’t attend movies nearly as often as I once did, and this one reminded me why.  The movie stars Kate Beckinsale, Gabriel Macht, Tom Skerritt and Alex O’ Loughlin and was described in the synopsis as follows:

“Danger Cat!”

In the little strip of woods behind my house, there live all kinds of creatures – opossum, raccoons, birds, deer, and the occasional woodchuck.  But, without a doubt, the fiercest, most hostile, vicious, most savage of them all is…DANGER CAT!  I don’t know if you can tell by this picture, but he has devil eyes [...]

Summer’s Last Hurrah?

As Summer gently makes her exit to clear the way for Autumn, I suddenly find myself surrounded by beautiful images of the season.  Or, it could just be that I’m taking a bit more time to notice.  At any rate, I wanted to share some with you.  This first one’s a sunrise.  I know I’m [...]

Juggling Fall TV

Finally!  The fall TV season is beginning, with some brand-new shows premiering in the next several weeks and our old favorites finally back with fresh episodes.  I’ve always liked waiting to see how the new line up turns out.  But now that I’ve seen the schedule, there’s one thing I have to ask:  Why do [...]

One Year Blogaversary!

One year ago I decided to try my hand at writing a blog and 197 postings later, I’m still here!  It’s amazing.  If only you knew all the diaries and journals I began throughout my life, starting out strong and faithful for a month or two, then tapering off to nothingness.  That’s why this day [...]
