Dreamworks Stock Falls

And they are scratching their heads unable to understand why. They are attempting to blame this on soft DVD sales, but the truth is the quality of their work over the last several years has.. blown chunks!

I saw Shrek. That was a great flick, I enjoyed watching it on cable. It never drew me to a theater. Shrek 2 came around, it didn’t draw me to the theater either. When I caught it on cable, I was disappointed in what I saw. Shrek 2 really blew. Sharktale.. Nemo redone with worse animation and less consideration for the animals that were going to get shoved into aquariums by unthinking parents who just want to make their kids happy. Less than impressed. Madagascar? Um.. my kids are getting a little old for cartoon flicks, and the trailers for Madagascar were horrible. I had no intent of ever going to see that film from the moment I saw the first trailer.… [Read More]

We’re Not Afraid.

What a wonderful site. Link via Instapundit.

Just to add insult to injury, I’d like to add my list of to do for today just to show you how unconcerned I am about terrorism. Denotes what I’ve already done.

1. Mix saltwater for fish tanks.
2. Feed my pets.
3. Have a nice, leisurely lunch.
4. Clean caulerpa out of the fish tanks.
5. Talk hubby into 300 gallon fish tank to replace 75 gallon fish tank.
6. Fail in the above task, talk him into spending a few bucks on corals instead.
7. Clean my dog’s ears. (They look kinda icky).
8. And if I feel like it, maybe take a nap.

Yeah.. (note the sarcasm) I’m so scared…… [Read More]

Happy 4th of July

Happy Birthday America!

Seems silly doesn’t it, when you realize that this is what we are in fact celebrating. I have to wonder why America has never been made a red, white and blue birthday cake with giant sparklers on top to celebrate its years in existence, much as we human beings tend to celebrate our own.

Regardless, it is America’s birthday and it is a day for all of us to be proud of who we are and where we come from and where our nation is going in terms of its plays on the world stage.

Whether you choose to celebrate it or not, I’ve painted my nails red with silver and blue sparkles like I do every year and I’m gonna have a good time with my family as we peruse the various vendors in the public park, then go watch the fireworks show, and afterwards, I’ll stare at my nails for two hours while we get out of our parking spot.… [Read More]

Shasta and Dylan Groene Found!

Of course, this wouldn’t make national news. They never report the good stuff that happens, remember?

In any case, the two children that raised the attention of the national news after their mother, her boyfriend and older brother were slain in their home, have been found. At the time, the girl, Shasta, was in the custody of a 42-year-old-man who was arrested on some unrelated charges, in addition to kidnapping. Dylan was found at a home not far from the Denny’s where Shasta was spotted.

I’m so glad these kids have been found safe.

Update: Dylan Groene is still missing, the earlier reports of his being found were made in error.… [Read More]
