JE
It has been way too long… but something has come up that requires a blog post.
The Tony’s
I am probably repeating myself, but I strongly believe that the Tonys are the best awards show. I mean, how can you possibly go wrong with a bunch of people who perform live 8 shows a week? This year, it was hosted by Wolverine, er, Hugh Jackman, who hopped his way into the Emerson Sistershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12782635628253183768noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7257406293064408516.post-37057622494377344852014-04-22T06:19:00.002-07:002014-04-22T06:27:12.957-07:00Post spring break TV catch up…and holy-cow-it-must-almost-be-season-finale-time…KE
Europe was fabulous…as I knew it would be. Rome, South of
France, Paris. Not a shabby life style. Now back to reality and teaching the
young ones for another 2 and half months before returning home- FOR GOOD. And
of course I had to play TV catch up since my return. So here are my thoughts... I don't think there are spoilers because you too are already caught up.
First I had to watch Emerson Sistershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12782635628253183768noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7257406293064408516.post-34351764785029349302014-04-17T20:49:00.002-07:002014-04-17T20:49:37.449-07:00Comicon, SHIELD, & General Nerdiness
Ah, Comicon (Emerald City, of course). Such a lovely weekend. I think I had it figured out this year. Despite being a weekend in the middle of complete work insanity, I managed to do 3 days without being completely wiped out. I think the 3 day pass, without actually spending the full 3 days there is ideal. There is enough time to prioritize the panels you care about attending, try Emerson Sistershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12782635628253183768noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7257406293064408516.post-71851675007711196912014-03-26T08:43:00.002-07:002014-03-26T08:44:32.139-07:00European Vacation...KE
I had to watch Frozen to make myself feel better after
watching that Game of Thrones episode. And I just haven’t brought myself to
watch the next episode. I needed a break after watching so much this weekend….
And Teen Wolf in addition to that… yikes.
So I am leaving on Saturday for a little 2 week European
vacation. I know- life is tough. A few days in Italy… a few days in the South

Oh, Frozen. I have watched it 3 times already. I started it for a 4th time today, but it was nap time and somewhere near the beginning my internet went out, so I gave up and slept during some basketball instead. I mean, of course I loved it. It's a wonderful Disney musical with great music (written by the guy who helped write Book of Mormon and his wife), some of my Emerson Sistershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12782635628253183768noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7257406293064408516.post-55892010318482975462014-03-13T23:12:00.001-07:002014-03-13T23:12:55.349-07:00Late Birthday Post and Animated Movies ...KE

those 11 day it was your birthday!!!!!!
And when we spoke on your birthday (with Sarah) you were

Before I get into the main purpose of this post, my Oscar nominee reviews, some responses to your post:
So glad the Rolling Stones were fantastic. I wouldn't say I was overly impressed with their Super Bowl stint a few years back (compared to say, Bruce Springsteen, Beyonce, or this year's impressive showing by Bruno Mars), so I am elated to hear the old guys can still strut their stuff. &Emerson Sistershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12782635628253183768noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7257406293064408516.post-35572384948882001642014-02-28T21:13:00.002-08:002014-02-28T21:13:46.033-08:00Rockin' Old Men and Game of Thrones....

Who knew that 70 year old men would put on the best concert
EVER. I knew I would enjoy it and appreciate getting a chance to see the
Rolling Stones live, but the energy level (mainly from Mick Jagger) and the
quality of music was outstanding. Mick Jagger had a catwalk that he would strut
up and down and Keith Richard even moved a bit with his sparkly headband. I

What I wrote right after reading your blog, but before watching the new episode this past week:
So much is happening on Teen Wolf, I almost forgot about Scott's dad having a secret. Almost. Do you think that there is a connection to what happened to Stiles' mom or is that link superficial, something that the evil thing (gitsune?

In honor of Valentine’s Day being recently…Let’s talk about exciting happenings in the world of love. In the last 2 weeks there have been
two public “coming outs” that have earned headlines. And although, really, who
you choose to love (or just have sex with) should be no one’s worry but your own…
because of the state of the world it is important to note why these are
significant.

Happy Birthday! Okay, it's not technically your birthday yet at my house. But it is well into your birthday at your house, so I feel it is appropriate to say woohoo, yay, and ready or not, you have entered your final year as a twenty-something. Don't worry, I've been at this thirty-something thing for a while and you have nothing to fear.

In the immortal words of Robin Sherbatsky when she finds that ring in the bottom of her champagne: No no no no no you cannot do this to me, no no no no. Harry & Hermione? No. Not at all. Hermione is, as we all know, the brightest witch of her age. And she picks Ron, who is loving and loyal and imperfect. And not as smart as her and that is perfectly okay.

I really thought that I had the whole apocalypse thing down. I mean, how many did Buffy face? But they never really got into the whole four horsemen/witnesses/Revelations thing. How did they miss that? Maybe it was a reluctance to get all biblical? I think I have to assume it was a focus on their own lore that obviously utilized things from other places (like the Emerson Sistershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12782635628253183768noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7257406293064408516.post-11997922608170299622014-01-24T02:20:00.002-08:002014-01-24T02:20:39.786-08:00Getting Caught Up....KE

Blacklist follow up with spoilers (not for you, but for those who don't watch):
He is totally her dad. I mean yes, he has a demonstrated ability to care about people (his team was obviously quite important to him), but nothing like his loyalty and commitment to her. I do like that we are questioning/debating what seemed so obvious in all the show promos. And her husband is totally evil.
