It's time for a mid-day blog break. I've taken one of those rare office days to organize the overflowing heaps of paper into some sort of recognizable pattern. It's the least enjoyable of all my job functions which is why it always gets done as a final priority. I can finally see a dent in it all and I've managed to put together a very decent presentation for an upcoming meeting.

So in all of this craziness of paper, somehow Christmas Cards managed to slip themeselves into the agenda. I'm not sure how it happened but after I dropped my car off at Firestone, I found myself in Savon, buying cards. Then I had to walk home, carrying the cards! This from a person who not one week ago swore she would not do cards this year. And - I pulled the decorations from the garage into the house so I guess that Christmas is coming this year after all!

Now if I can just manage to clean the house, purchase and wrap gifts, remember to mail the cards that I wasn't doing in the first place and buy all the holiday party food, then I will be ready for the holidays! Since it somehow always comes together each year, I just have to go with the thought that this year it will all work out as usual!

I hope all of you are making progress on your holiday plans, whatever they may be!

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

Most Hobbit minded people have already seen the latest installment so this is for those of you waiting for the crowds to go down. Part 2 is much better than part 1. This applies to all viewers. Where the gap happens if you have not read the book (including the appendices) you will probably like the whole movie. If you've read the book and taken the time to read the appendices, then you'll appreciate the back story that's presented here. The spirit of Tolkien is present and Desolation of Smaug fits well within what will become a 6 part movie. What I liked....The opening sequence. This is not in the book and I had to look it up in the appendices and sure enough, Gandalf and Thorin did meet in Bree. Thranduil and Legolas father/son relationship. I liked it. While only a mere mention in the appendices, in this movie we see Legolas loyal to his father. That Legolas doesn't mesh with the person he becomes and it will be interesting to see what happens to Legolas in the nex...

COASTAL AREAS OF CALIFORNIA - OREGON - WASHINGTON - BRITISHCOLUMBIA - AND ALASKA....THE TSUNAMI WARNING AND WATCH STATUS IS CANCELED FOR CALIFORNIA - OREGON - WASHINGTON - BRITISH COLUMBIA - AND ALASKA... It's good to know that today's media is so excited for another tsunami, that newscasters managed to panic coastal residents for thousands of miles. My neighbor came rushing out her house to call out "tsunami" in 3 hours! She was ready to evacuate. We could not convice her that while we are near the beach, it is a good mile away, with a major freeway inbetween us and a nice rolling hill. She was still ready to go to higher ground, bathrobe and all. Luckily, the Weather Channel has announced the cancellation of the alert. I guess I can sleep now and not have to worry about being washed away.

Calgary, Canada - The Starfleet Experience

Image
Against all odds, the Star Trek Starfleet Academy Experience was in Calgary the same time as me! It was interactive with games, Klingon language lessons, and the Kobayashi Maru exam. All of it is to test what area you'll be admitted into Starfleet. Entrances are timed to reduce wait time to do the activities and it never felt crowded. Here's my image getting ready to beam up. And if this plays correctly, it's my actual beam up. Turns out I'm Uhura and bound for Communications!
