It’s raining again today. At least it is off and on. I’ve been told that this is the wettest May in 55 years and the month isn’t even over. Flooding has caused a lot of problems and damage in other areas. Here at our home, we’re on fairly high ground. The only problem is that, […]
Netflix came through again. I’m trying to see all the Hugo nominees before I vote and today we got The Golden Compass. The disc we got was the widescreen, single disc, with no special features. You can check out the YouTube trailer for the film and related videos if you haven’t seen the film already. […]
Some people just love this program. Many have told me that it’s on the edge and as funny as can be — my humor center must be damaged. I’ve just watched the entire first season and well, it’s okay but I’m glad I didn’t pay for these disks (renting is a good thing). The animation […]

Not much to report on. Was going to skip posting tonight altogether but figured what the heck — hit the highlights. * Went to Maryland Sheep and Wool on Saturday. Got some great sock yarn and one pound of soy silk to spin. I’m in heaven but haven’t been able to start spinning yet. Will […]
Finally got a copy of Sense & Sensibility from Netflix. This is the Jane Asten movie that we missed during public televisions The Complete Jane Austen series. Directed by John Alexander and starring Hattie Morahan, Charity Wakefield, Dan Stevens, Janet McTeer, Mark Williams and others. The screen play was by Andrew Davies who did most […]
