I went to see the Sex and the City movie last night with a friend. Here are my thoughts:
It was much better than I had expected, considering some of the reviews I had read. I did have a few issues with the pacing because it seemed like they rushed through bits of the [...]

Well, I couldn’t find some of the photos I had wanted to use, but I was still able to find enough to show 4 generations of women in my family in their swim wear.
Here is a photo of my great-grandmother, Thelma (Seibert-Osborne) Furry, and her daughter (my grandmother), Jacqueline (Osborne-Furry) Cummings, in 1940:

I just watched last week’s So You Think You Can Dance and I have to share this with you, in case you missed it.

Script Frenzy 2008 is now officially over. A big congrats to all those people who finished their script!
I didn’t get much done on the script project I mentioned earlier, but I’m happy with what I did do. Unlike the past times I’ve tried to write this story, I finally got across what I’ve [...]
