Too many diets
Cable free
We've done it! We cancelled cable TV all together. There are so many other, cheaper or free ways to watch TV that it just didn't make sense any more, especially with tightening budgets! But it actually doesn't feel like we have any less options. There are two ways we get our shows now ... One … Continue reading Cable free
My 1000th Post!
Yup, this is it. My thousandth post on this blog. I am that much of a nerd.

How to Train Your Dragon
I'm sitting here watching 'How to train your dragon' for the third or fourth time (not bad for a movie that JUST came out on DVD ... sheesh). My kids LOVE it - which makes sense. A movie about a boy getting a pet dragon and saving the day is pretty awesome. So, in the … Continue reading How to Train Your Dragon
Back to the Future homage
http://d.yimg.com/nl/movies/site/player.swf Okay, I admit it. I totally nerded out on this one! Michael J. Fox, now almost 50, recreated the original Back to the Future teaser trailer shot for shot for the upcoming Scream awards! Too much fun! And just for reference, here's the original:
