This is how I know I am an adult…

Posted on January 20, 2016 by A Dreamer

The word “blizzard” does not fill me with the slightest bit of joy.  As of this morning, the National Weather Service issued a Blizzard Watch for my area for the weekend. I don’t hate snow – when it’s in reasonable amounts. … Continue reading →

1.3 Billion

This is just silly now.

$900 Million

Posted on January 9, 2016 by A Dreamer

Yes, that is a little mind boggling to say the least.  (Powerball, if you’re late to the party.)  I was listening to the radio this afternoon and they were interviewing people about the “what if you won” scenarios and they … Continue reading →

Yeah, I threw $4 at the black hole known as the PowerBall

Posted on January 6, 2016 by A Dreamer

500 million dollars?  Hell yeah, I’ll buy a couple tickets. How much fun would it be to be able to spend the rest of your life being the ultimate Secret Santa? I’d remodel my house top to bottom, get a … Continue reading →

Rey has a playlist on Spotify!

Posted on January 2, 2016 by A Dreamer

I’d recently read some posts about Spotify having playlists for Star Wars characters, and it pretty much focused on Kylo Ren’s being pretty emotastic – but it made me think, “Wait, wait, wait – if they did one for him, … Continue reading →

Goodbye 2015

Posted on December 31, 2015 by A Dreamer

Personally, kind of a “meh” year.  Looking out at the world?  Completely depressing.  Way too much hate, war, death, and destruction for my taste. Star Wars provided a fantastic three hour respite from it all, and if you haven’t seen … Continue reading →

I’ve always wanted to have open windows in December

Posted on December 15, 2015 by A Dreamer

I just didn’t think I would still be living in the DC suburbs when it happened.   It’s 1:47 AM on December 15th and it is 63º outside. Sure, every couple of years we have a little warm spell at the beginning … Continue reading →

I am angry and embarrassed.

Posted on December 8, 2015 by A Dreamer

Though I didn’t watch President Obama’s speech on Sunday night, I did take the time to read the transcript later in the evening.  While I didn’t really feel any need to be consoled or reassured, I was pleased to see … Continue reading →

On a lighter note

Posted on December 4, 2015 by A Dreamer

If you didn’t see The Wiz last night and weren’t able to TiVo it, it is available on NBC.com – and I highly recommend it. The production was just spectacular and it’s a great way to spend a couple hours … Continue reading →

I’m just at a loss.

Posted on December 3, 2015 by A Dreamer

So many terrible things have happened in the past year, and nothing has changed, and I just feel like nothing will. Gun control will not happen, even if San Bernardino is closed out as international terrorism.  Because we can’t deny “responsible, law-abiding gun owners” … Continue reading →
