Phantom's Feaste

Last Saturday night we went to the Phantom's Feaste, held at the Renaissance Festival grounds. It was fun but freezing! I think the temp got into the 30s. We wore victorian costumes and I didn't have a cape/cloak to match. I must find warmer clothes for next year.

The Prestige

I've been looking forward to this movie for a long time because of the people involved. I was not disappointed. I loved it and look forward to seeing it again.

Magellan eats spider webs

What's up with that?

Possibly good news

for Veronica Mars. Click here for article.

Gwyn got a massage

She really doesn't like to canter and has some attitude problems, so someone suggested a massage therapist to check her out for soreness. She did have tightness and pain, especially in the neck. Gwyn's reaction was pretty severe at first, but by the end of the session she was really enjoying it and obviously feeling better.

On to TV...

I watched 30 Rock last night and was disappointed. I'll watch another couple of episodes, but won't keep it on my schedule if it doesn't improve.

I like Friday Night Lights, despite not liking football. There are some things that turn me off, like the insane obsession over football and the nauseating camera work, but the show is still really good. It may not last long due to poor ratings.

Kidnapped (one of my favs) was cancelled, but they are supposed to air 13 episodes and give a resolution. Vanished is being moved and will probably be gone soon. Smith was cancelled and completely removed from the schedule. I haven't been enjoying the last two shows much so won't miss them.

Ugly Betty is one of my favorite new shows, but that time slot is killer. We have ordered an HD tuner that will hopefully solve our problem.

So far I like Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, Heroes, Men in Trees, and The Nine. I also am interested enough in Jericho, The Class, and Brothers & Sisters to keep watching.

And those are just the new shows. Sigh...

Funny Flu Shot Video

It's the second to last video clip on the page.

Flu Shot Video

Stupid web host

is having problems again, which is why the pictures of Persia are not showing up. I will try to get it fixed when I get a new site going.

Persia passed away one year ago

today. We miss him so much.

Something I never want to do again

is replace fence posts. We had two badly rotted ones and tried to replace them ourselves. That involved digging up the old concrete. We spent several hours last Sunday doing that and still couldn't get the old concrete out. I called a handy man and it took him over two hours to just finish digging out the concrete (and that was after he rented a jack hammer). Then we still had to put the new posts in with new concrete. I now know that I do not like working with concrete.

Next time I'm finding experts to hire.

Veronica Mars was awesome

but what else is new. :) I am worried though. They only retained 69% of the Gilmore Girls audience. What is wrong with people? Is it too much to ask to watch the good shows.

Also, I'm loving Kidnapped more that I expected and of course it is already in danger. Update: This was cancelled. My first sadness of the season. I hope NBC really does air 13 episodes.

Veronica Mars season 3 premiere tomorrow!

Tuesday, October 3rd. I hope you'll be watching.

Veronica Mars on CW

I could waste a lot of time

on this site, but I won't. At least I hope not.

For examples of what can be done with Line Rider see here and here.

More New Shows

Yesterday I watched Smith. This evening was Jericho and Kidnapped. I liked them all enough to keep watching for now. We'll see if they get better or worse...

Tummy Tuesday

OK, so he isn't a cat. I just couldn't resist this picture of my brother's dog, Elvis.

New Shows

So the new tv season is officially starting. I'm going to be busy.

Last night I watched The Class. It was okay. I may watch it for now, but it isn't "must see". I also watched Sudio 60 on the Sunset Strip. It was excellent and could become one of my favorites.

I'm watching Vanished (on after Prison Break). I'm sort of hooked, but only because I want to see how the mystery pans out. I don't care about any of the characters.

I've tried Justice -- only worth watching because of Victor Garber; it won't be regular viewing -- and Standoff which I tried because of Gina Torres. She's barely in it and the show is pretty blah.

And I actually like Men in Trees. It's perfect Friday night fluff.

I'm ridiculously excited

about the Veronica Mars premiere (Tuesday, October 3). Hope you'll be watching too!

Gwyn (a horse)

I finally have some decent pictures of Gwyn, the horse I am leasing. The birds were in her stall a few weeks ago. I discovered them after finding bird poop on Gwyn.

I went riding today and the weather was perfect. Gwyn did well. She didn't have much energy in the arena, but she perked up as soon as we went outside. I don't blame her. It is much more pleasant in the open air than the dusty arena.

Tummy Tuesday

It's Tummy Tuesday again on lisaviolet's site. Here's an oldie of Roshi...

I have a couple of new ones that sort of show the tummies....

Nickel Creek

Nickel Creek is going on an indefinite break at the end of 2007. I'm sad, but can't say I'm surprised. It's been a great run and I look forward to their continued solo work. Click here for article

Little Miss Sunshine

We saw Little Miss Sunshine last night. I loved it. It is funny and sweet.
