Angels and Demons

As previously mentioned, Jake and I went to see Angels and Demons yesterday.  It was much like the Da Vinci Code – entertaining enough to suspend belief for a few hours.  It did run a little long since it’s one of those movies that seems to have everything wrapped up before they turn around and [...]

Progress on the OSU Baby Sweater

I hope you’ll excuse the messy picture, but here’s the latest on my OSU baby cardigan that I’m making for someone who’s having a baby thi summer.
I knit the sleeves Friday night and yesterday, and decided to do them flat at the same time after my attempt with some DPNs revealed some pretty serious laddering.  [...]

Masterpiece Classic: Tess of the d’Urbervilles

I’m a bit late on this – I believe the show originally aired in January, but I finally got to watch the recorded episodes of Masterpeice Classic on Tess of the d’Urbervilles.  I read the book sometime in high school, though I think it’s something that I should read again.  It’s truly one of the [...]

The Socks Continue and The Spirit

I’m about two-thirds of the way done with the first sock in my first set of socks ever.  It’s actually starting to look sock shaped, as you can see in the pictures below.  Once I started working on the foot (past the heel) I couldn’t resis trying it on, partly because it looks a little [...]

Next Harry Potter Movie Postponed

The next Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince which was supposed to be released November 21 has been pushed back 8 months to be released in July 2009.  It’s needless to say that I’m disappointed, and I’m sure I’m not alone in that.  The last movie came out in July, which [...]

Barack Obama Roll

I’m sure many of you have heard of the practice of Rickrolling, where someone posts a link, but either lies about what it is, or doesn’t say what it is.  Upon clicking, there is actually a video of Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up”.  I’m not actually going to Rickroll you, but check out [...]

Definitely, Maybe

On my last night (hopefully) without television, I rented another movie from iTunes, Definitely, Maybe.  The premise of the story is newly divorced father William Hayes (Ryan Reynolds) telling his daughter Maya (Abigail Breslin) the long journey to his marriage to her mother.
Will moved to New York (from Madison!) in 1992 to work on the [...]

P.S. I Love You

I saw P.S. I Love You a little while ago, and just remembered that I wanted to write about it, but had forgotten.  The movie begins with an argument between Holly (Hillary Swank) and Gerry (Gerard Butler) who have been married for nine years since they were both quite young, and are trying to decide [...]

27 Dresses

I watched 27 Dresses tonight using the Apple iTunes movie rental service, which, despite seeming a little pricey, is rather cool when you don’t want to run out to the video store, and can’t bring yourself to watch one of your own DVDs (again). I think the Netflix movie streaming service is a better deal, [...]
