I couple months ago, I read and reviewed Field of Blood for Thomas Nelson. I just reread my review, and I was much more charitable in the review than I would be now. Honestly, I hated that book. Perhaps, at the time, I didn't realize just how much I disliked it. I can now say with certainty that I have no intention of reading the sequel.Field of Blood was really my first exposure to vampire mythology. I've never seen a vampire movie, and I didn't...

Please don't kill Dr. Carter. I quit watching you years ago, but you've pulled me back in with the return of the original cast members. I know you have a penchant for killing off main characters (Drs. Greene, Romano & Pratt, Kellie Martin, and that guy Neela was married to), but please, don't bring Dr. Carter back only to kill him. That would just be cru...
It's time to buy an iPod. I've held out for a long time, even purchasing a $50 mp3 player a couple years ago. (This same player would probably cost me $20 today.) I don't need the brand, I thought. I don't buy music from iTunes, so what does it matter? Well, the problem is that in this case, you get what you pay for. The battery is supposed to last for 12 hours; I'm lucky to get it to last 4. Right now, it's full with 233 songs on it. That...

I watched the Academy Awards last night. I can't remember the last time I watched the whole show--maybe I never had before. I didn't expect to enjoy it too much (after all, the only nominated films I saw were Wall-E and The Dark Knight--and they weren't up for Best Picture), but I did want to see the opening musical number. (Do they always do one? I have no idea--I just knew Hugh Jackman would do one.) Take a look at the opening number.I'm...

Not sleep in, as the call came after my shower . . . once I've showered, I'm awake.Write a letter of recommendation for one of my students. It had to be mailed today, and I'd completely spaced it off.Finish Twilight. I'll have more to say about this in another post.Stare out the window at the snow and be thankful I have a job with snow days.Work...

This is the latest facebook obsession. I thought I'd take a page from Melody's book and post mine here. I share a birthday with Pete Sampras and my first real crush. (To clarify: I have the same birthday as the first boy I liked, and I have the same birthday as Pete Sampras. I do not share my first real crush with Pete Sampras.)While You Were Sleeping has been my favorite movie since I saw it in the theater in 8th grade. It will remain my favorite...

A few weeks ago, I listed some books I'm planning to read. Here's how I'm doing:Sunset by Karen Kingsbury. Finished it the day after my reading post. It "wraps up" the Baxter saga, which is sad, but I was very excited to learn that two of the characters will be in Kingsbury's next series.On A Whim by Robin Jones Gunn. I read this in two evenings....
