Team Edward

Nothing against Jacob, and Edward isn’t all that good looking. But Edward has such self control! I admire that. Jacob still acts like a teenager, all hot headed and jealous. I’m all for Team Edward.

Nipper

When I was a little girl, we used to take Lee Highway to go around the Northern Virginia suburbs. When we got close to Merrifield, we would always see this huge figure of Nipper, the dog. Nipper was the mascot for RCA records. I loved watching this big dog and the record player from the back seat of my Daddy’s car as we drove by, I don’t believe it is there any more. But it was fun to find this old photo of a childhood landmark.

Video Games

Why are video games so expensive? I really don’t like spending $60 or $70 dollars for a game. Especially a game that only takes a rainy weekend to beat and then you are done with it. There are only a few games that you can play over and over again. For most of them, once you beat the game it’s not fun any more.

I would really like to see games get back down to under $20. If they were more affordable I would be more inclined to buy them and have a larger collection.

Stand By Me

One of my favorite songs from long ago is “Stand By Me.” I just love the idea of having someone in your life so loyal to you that they would be by your side – no matter what.

Then a movie came out with that title. It was a really good movie – very well written and totally believable dialogue and story line. Haven’t seen that movie in a very long time, so I thought it would be fun to pop it in the DVD player and watch it while doing laundry and some general housework.

Gypsy – One of My Favs

I have always been a fan of Stevie Nicks. I love just about every song that she has done on her own, and I love the songs by Fleetwood Mac. I would be thrilled to meet her some day.

Movie Critic

Donna — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 19:14:26 +0000

Years ago I took a course on screenwriting, taught by a famous actor and screenwriter while I was in Washington DC. He opened my eyes and my mind to the way movies are created. Now I can’t watch a movie like a normal audience member. I watch it with a critical eye and look for little tells, like the common locations and Hollywood tricks used during filming. I would love to be a movie director on a project and hope to write a screenplay that actually becomes a movie some day.

Tried That

Stereo Demo in 1961

Donna — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:05:37 +0000

Back in the 60’s, the development of stereo was big news for the music industry. This song was one of the great demonstrations of how cool stereo can sound. It was also a song that my father loved and he taught my two sisters and I how to sing it for that year’s family Christmas party.

You Go, Girl!

If you missed SNL on Saturday night, you can still watch Taylor Swift’s monologue. It’s so cute!
