torchwood: children of the earth

July 26th, 2009

Last night, Chris and I did a marathon watch of the latest five-part series of Torchwood. The shows aired earlier in the week, and I just didn’t find the time to watch them through the week, so I thought “I’ll just start Day One and Two tonight, and finish the rest tomorrow and through the week. Well that didn’t happen, and around 4AM we finished watching Day Five.

I liked it, though I have a lot of questions about the “what happens next” in the show. (Note, if you haven’t seen the show, don’t click “more” (due to spoilers).) Read more…

Future of blogging

July 15th, 2009

Specifically this blog. Over the last few weeks, I’ve been trying to determine what I wanted to do with this blog. When I first started this (as a LiveJournal blog), the purpose of the blog was to record my thoughts about what is happening in my life, and the lives of my friends. I kept it up for a while, but then as more and more people started to read (and comment) on my blog, I started to begin to self-censor more, and over time the blog lost its original focus. Hence I started to think what now.

One of my thoughts was to continue to make commentary about issues that occur in my life, and the issues that affect me. This would mean that the focus of the blog will take a different direction, and would be less focused on my thoughts and feelings (though these will definitely influence my writings).

I also started to think about how often I would write, and more importantly who I would be writing for. Initially my goal  would be to write at least once a week, hopefully more. My audience? Well I am going to assume that there is not one, and this will hopefully limit my desire to censor out my thoughts or feelings. I can’t say that this is the best strategy, but it will be  a different one. For now, it is what I have to offer.

Help me Bowl For Kids’ Sake on July 17

July 1st, 2009

Bowl For Kids SakeGuess What?!?!

I’m bowling for Big Brothers Big Sisters and I need your support. I have set a personal goal of raising $500 in sponsorships to help my team (“Bad Apples 1”) in the BBBS Employee Bowl for Kids’ Sake event on July 17, 2009. Can you support me?

Your contribution will help raise funds for BBBS, and the many programs that BBBS does to impact the lives of our youth throughout our community. Any amount is welcome, and you can contribute by clicking on this link and making your contribution now.

As many of you know, and some of you may not, not only do I work for BBBS, but Chris and I also have been matched with our Little Brother since March 2008. For me, this has been an incredible personal journey, and continues to impact my life in a positive way.

If each person that receives this email could donate $10.00 then I could easily meet my goal. Of course, donations of any amount are always welcome, and I’m very happy to exceed my goal should that opportunity arise. Can you support my efforts for Bowl for Kids’ Sake today?

Your support is appreciated, and I encourage you to forward this email to your friends, family and colleagues to seek their support for this Bowl For Kids’ Sake program.

For information on the Bowl for Kids’ Sake program, please visit the website at www.bowlforkidssake.org.

Thank you for any support you can offer.
