Today I had this conversation with my friend Suzy on Facebook: Suzy: wants to let everyone know, Monday, March 2, Big Bang Theory hits Dutch TV: Veronica 9:50 =o). 11 minutes ago – Me: at 2:51pm February 28 LOVE THAT SHOW!! I download it and watch it faithfully. I have a wee crush on Sheldon and I AM NOT ASHAMED! …

I’ve been reading the most fantastic series of books lately, and I’ve pretty much forced all my close friends and family to start reading them as well.   It’s the Stephanie Plum Series by Janet Evanovich.   They are about a girl who loses her job as a lingerie buyer and ends up blackmailing her sleezeball cousin into giving her a job …

Yesterday while working on some crafts I watched the movie Mamma Mia.  I’d been wanting to see this movie but had a hellish time getting there.  My friend Penny doesn’t like musicals, my husband would rather hand over his left testicle on a plate than see it and everyone else either wasn’t into it or we had trouble sorting out …

In an earlier post I mentioned that while my parents were here we were going to Corpus, which I was pretty excited about.   I’d first seen info on this place months ago and was keen to take my parents there because I thought it’d be really cool. When you look at their website it gives you the impression that you …

If you have never heard of the show Dead Like Me, it’s not really a big surprise.  It was one of those oddities, like Firefly, that doesn’t run for long but is mysteriously canceled, causing an uproar among fans.  It has a cult following and those who loved it loved it madly… including me. Here is a synopsis of the …

I recently watched the first season of The Big Bang Theory and instead of laughing at the characters, I was laughing with them and wishing I was the one who lived across the hall from them. I think a lot of women dream about living across the hall from Brad Pitt or the guys from Two Guys and a Girl, …

I’ve been watching those Next Top Model shows lately.  I really like them, mostly because I find it really interesting to see how they make the girls over and what kind of photos they are able to make.   I always see girls in the beginning that I think are BUTT UGLY and I never understand what they are doing on …

This past weekend Xander and I went to visit our friends Penny and Yuri.  They are housesitting for Yuri’s boss here in Rotterdam and it’s been great having them so close.  They live in Roosendaal, about a 35-40 minute drive from us, so we get together once every 1-2 weeks if we are lucky. The place they are housesitting is like …

This week I’m playing Lord of the Rings Online.  Xander has grown bored with World of Warcraft and bought LOTRO to try something different.   It came with a 7 day free trial for a friend so I installed it on my laptop to arse around with it.   It’s been a long time since I did any gaming of any kind …

If you remember, a while back I read a few books by Kathy Reich’s. The books were about a forensic anthropologist named Temperance Brennan.   I didn’t like the books at all and I really didn’t like the main character.   I found it weird because the books got so many great reviews but I ranked them among the worst I’ve read.  When my …

Well I never thought I’d ever say this, but…  I miss WoW.  Argh.. shit! This is the 2nd time over the past number of years that I’ve quit gaming.   The last time was after Star Wars Galaxies and before World of Warcraft. I had quit gaming completely for about 10 months and then was lured back by a friend who was …
