To go to the movies…or not?
Jupiter Ascending
I don’t go to the movie theatres very often, and when I do, I usually go for movies I know I’m going to like.
I love anything sci-fi and paranormal, so when I saw the previews for Jupiter Ascending, I immediately wanted to go see it. The special effects look awesome! And look at the artwork – It rocks!
Here is my dilemma…It’s had very mixed reviews (as in almost all bad). So, if you know a movie is going to be bad, would you still fork over the money to go?

What the heck…
I’m not sure I’m ready for it, but winter has decided to make itself known.
This is also the hellhounds first snowfall as well.
He loved it, though he’s still learning how to navigate the fluffy white stuff when it’s taller than him.
Reverse. Reverse. Where’s the reverse in this thing? *snickers*

Daylight Savings Time…you win.
I was so excited to get an extra hour of sleep for daylight savings time.
Yeah, that didn’t happen. By six a.m., I had been walked all over, stomped on, nibbled, bitten andnearly suffocated when caught trying to hide under the blankets. Then, let’s not forget a head-butt that left me with a welt and a bruise on my forehead and nearly knocked me out cold.
You’ve probablyguessed who I’m talking about…the hellhound won. After forty minutes of pretending that I was allowed to sleep in, I finally cr...
