Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring

OK, I admit it. Hanging my head in shame. I've never watched or read the Lord of the Rings books. My brother loved them and now his older children do also. My niece is always shocked to learn that I haven't even watched the movies.

Well, tonight I'm watching Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the [...]

Tech Ugh

I spent a lot of time today trying to resolve techie issues with computer equipment or services…nothing resolved.

UGH.

More Woes for Reggie

Reggie and I spent over an hour and a half at the vets today as they ran different tests.

Over the past few days he's been eating less and less, so Sunday I cooked him rice. He snarfed down the rice and seemed very happy about it, but he threw it all up around 4:00 [...]

Mr. Darcy, Firth Style

Need a little more Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy in your life? Is the 1995 version of Pride and Prejudice just not fulfilling your Firth/Darcy need? Well, now you can own a piece of the movie for the right price. The portrait of "young" Darcy that Elizabeth gazes at in the Pemberley portrait gallery is [...]

Animation

Somebody showed me how to do some animation in PowerPoint today. I've never done animation in PowerPoint, but I have done it in Keynote. Here's an example (only it doesn't look the greatest on YouTube):

This is part of a bigger project that I haven't had time to finish. It plays too fast on YouTube, but [...]

Wish You Were Here

Could we please have this weather back?

 

Coldest Day in a Decade?

The forecast for today is that we won't see 0° F (-17.778° C) and it will be the coldest day in a decade. I decided to track it for history…or to make it feel even worse!!!!

At midnight:  That's -2° F (-18.889° C). The wind chill is a balmy -22° F (-30° C). We're off to [...]

Reggie Update

I haven't updated about Reggie in a while. He's been doing pretty well, but is not back to normal. His red blood cell (RBC) count got up to (and stayed at) 41% for a few weeks, so the vets lowered his Prednisone from 20 mg a day to 10 mg. He's also finished his four [...]

Tic Tac Melody

Can you entertain a crowd with your Tic Tacs? This guy can:

The Macy’s Faux Windows

In the past few years I’ve shared images from the Marshall Field’s annual Christmas windows. Well, I begrudgingly give you one image from this year’s windows at the Macy’s store on State Street.

I think these are the absolute worst windows they’ve ever had! That’s why I’ll call them Macy’s windows instead of Field’s. There were [...]
