The highlight of this weekend was seeing an absolutely wonderful performance of the musical Heathers in Denton, Texas!  Heathers was produced by the Denton Community Theater and if you live near Denton, I suggest catching the show before the run ends on the 15th.

Have a great week, everyone!

Happy New Year!  Before Britain and the British colonies officially switched over to the Gregorian Calendar in 1752, March 25th was considered to be the first day of the new year!

For me, this past week has been one of adjustment.  Whenever I return from a vacation, I spend about a week alternatively feeling either extremely cranky or else like I’m in a walking dream.  It takes a while to get used to being back home.  All said, I spent most of this week wishing I was in Ardglass.

That said, I still manged to get caught up on all of the TV that I missed while I was gone and I was able to watch a few new movies.  Now, I just have to get caught up with reviewing everything!

Have a great week, everyone!

I’m home!  After spending 6 days in London, 2 days in Brighton, 2 days in Edinburgh, and 2 days in Ardglass, Jeff & I are back in the States.  I have to admit that, much like Dorothy, I’m in a bit of a dream state right now.  Going from snow and below freezing temperatures to 80-degree Texas weather in one day will do that to you, I suppose.

This upcoming week is going to be all about catching up.  Not only do I have several movies and books to review on both this site and Horror Critic but I also have a DVR full of programming to watch.  So please, no one spoil how The Bachelor ended…
