Taxes are done (finally) and our returns will be pleasant!

I went ahead and ordered myself a present, a bright and shiny new laptop, in sunshine yellow. What better way to welcome spring? And it happened to be on sale, this weekend only, for $330 off of $999. You know I’m a sucker for a good deal! It’s nothing fancy as far as laptops go, but it’s more than enough to do what I need it to do, which is write.

Actually, I take that back, a writer needs Word. It doesn’t come with Word or Excel, which is a pretty crappy scheme from Microsoft to get you to spend $150 more to buy the Office package, which I did not do. Hubby assures me that this can be worked out

And after my bright and shiny present, we will still have a hefty chunk to put into our “house fund”. Happy tax year to us!

So in about three weeks, you all will be hearing from me a lot more often, from whatever room I want to write in, whether it be blogs, or novels, or emails, whether Dylan is awake or not. Writing and writing and more writing. Yay!

I am terribly disappointed that 10,000 B.C. is getting really bad reviews. Rottentomatoes is giving it 9%! Yahoo reviewers are giving it bad reviews too. Now, I know that I am a world-class dork, but I was really hoping this one would be good. I am fascinated with pre-history, and was hoping this might be somewhat factual, with a storyline, like the best History Channel documentary ever! Apparently, a common complaint is that it is completely inaccurate, so maybe I’m better off staying home to watch the History Channel

Across the Universe is out on DVD now, bought, and watched twice since I bought it! I am in love with this movie!

I am Legend is also out on DVD now, and definitely worth at least a rental.

Happy Easter!

Peter Gibbons: Let me ask you something. When you come in on Monday, and you’re not feelin’ real well, does anyone ever say to you, ‘Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays’?

Lawrence: No. No, man. Shit, no, man. I believe you’d get your ass kicked sayin’ something like that, man.

An hour nap is not long enough. He should go back to sleep. Someone tell him to please go back to sleep.
