RIP Mr. Wizard




This morning I rode the elevator up to work and found out that Mr. Wizard died. That is so sad. I remember watching him on Nickelodeon after school, doing his little experiments with ping pong balls and coffee cans and all that. He was the first to introduce me to dry ice & its properties and for that I salute you Mr. Wizard.

For Sale: One dog that will eat anything

Including 19 cupcakes that you very carefully baked and frosted (with rainbow sprinkles by the way) the night before your hubband's birthday. Who ignores you even though you tell him multiple times that if you eat daddy's cupcakes, I'm going to punt you in the butt. Who is talented enough to reach up onto the table, fight his way through 2 tupperware containers and eat the cupcakes clean out of their wrappers and then have the gall to beg you for more food when you eat dinner. Any takers? THE EVIDENCE! "OH, I'M SO ASHAMED!" ONE TUBBY PUPPY

Quick Review of the new F'nE: "Frankly, I'm underwhelmed."

Image
Tesco's new Fresh and Easy opened up Thursday in 6 different cities. My friends and I have been anxiously awaiting the opening because that area was in desparate need of another supermarket. If the Hubband and I wanted to make waffles on Saturday morning but didn't have enough eggs, we'd have to schlep all the way down to the not-so-great Ralphs on Colorado & Verdugo (not far really, but we're lazy - it's the weekend after all) Plus, the F'nE was touted as a grocery store with "Lots of fresh and wholesome food choices, including prepared meals and organic foods, [that] make healthy eating easy and affordable." So, we went to opening day over at the F'nE, and I'm still trying to figure out how best to describe the place. To quote a certain funny, fabulous judge on Project Runway, "Frankly, I'm underwhelmed." It was like a Trader Joe sized Costco. It was very industrial and wherehouse-y on the inside. Much smaller t...

Dapples from the Movies - Beginnings and Endings

Image
Movies are a hobby of mine, I guess you could say. I'm not a film school geek, but I can turn a phrase here or there (The color timing on Traffic was great because it helped separate the 3 different storylines throughout the movie). And I watch a lot of movies and television, movies about television, TV shows about movies, etc. A lot. To put it simply, I enjoy watching the picture shows. Plus, my job pretty much centers around it and TV, so it surrounds me all day. Which is great. Anyway, every now and then, I'll have a few observations from the movies or TV shows that I have been watching. Hence, my new series "Dapples from the Movies (or TV)". Just little blogs about what's going on and what I think about them. We'll see how it goes... p.s. I'm just one lady with an opinion, so you know, take it with a grain of salt. Beginnings and Endings Given that we just ended the summer rush of high priced blockbusters and have just begun to get into ...
