Movie Review: The World’s End

      No Comments on Movie Review: The World’s End

Hot Fuzz is one of my favorite movies, so when I see that Edgar Wright has a new movie out, I have to go see it as soon as possible. If you haven’t seen the first two movies in the “Cornetto Trilogy”, you won’t be lost when you watch this movie, but you will miss out on certain joys. Like… Read more »

It’s a jungle in there…

      No Comments on It’s a jungle in there…

One of the things I like about Minneapolis is the Skyway. Why? Mostly because I don’t like to go outside. Plus, you don’t have to stop for traffic. Granted, today when I was starving to death and searching for food, I felt like a main character in a zombie movie. You know the zombies who move fast like a tidal… Read more »

Man caves…can we just stop?

      4 Comments on Man caves…can we just stop?

You know why I hate this term? The implication is that men are not as in charge of the things in the house as women. It also lends an air of a “clubhouse” where women are not welcome. When, why, and how did this crap start? I know men used to have a den. I have no idea what went… Read more »

After washing/scrubbing the potatoes, we wrap them… Read more »

Sometimes, I wish I still lived in California. It’s just because of the wine and going wine tasting at the wineries. It’s an experience I miss. The good thing about living in Minnesota is that wine can be shipped right to my door. So, when Holman Ranch offered to send me samples of their wine, I jumped at the chance…. Read more »

BlogHer13: Party Recap

      2 Comments on BlogHer13: Party Recap

What was up with the People’s Party? Why so small? It didn’t look like they had any sponsors. My comparison is the one in San Diego. It was in a ballroom and was an interesting place to walk around. I remember there being a Raising Hope booth which had special drinks available. I think there was a Rio (you know… Read more »
