Invasion
Wednesday night is ‘Lost’ and ‘Invasion’ night for me. I am hooked and I admit it. Fortunately they view at different times and same channel which make it so much easier since our DVR (it’s like TIVO but comes with our satellite service) makes you watch the same channel it’s taping. No watching one channel while you tape the other. What’s the use of that? If I am watching it, I don’t NEED to tape it. Duh!
Bloggin’ friend Devon works in film and it is fascinating to read her experiences with it. She evidently is very conscientious in her job and makes sure everyone and everything is just like the previous days ‘takes’ when they do what she explained ‘matched shots”. You know, the guy in the blue shirt doesn’t wear red this time etc.
With that blog fresh in mind, I caught a mistake on Invasion tonight.
Larkin (a female main character) ‘beeped’ her vehicle to unlock it, opened the door and grabbed the open window frame!
The window was down!
Was all excited to point this out to my family. But my husband just rolled his eyes and said many people lock their cars with the window down. PUH-Leeze! Are you kidding?
Jerk.
My son agreed with him.
Jerk-in-training.
I don’t believe that for a second.
Bet it wouldn’t have happened on Devon’s watch.
World Series
Well, the Astros did it. Won the championship and are now headed to the World Series. Not that I necessarily care, but others here in the state of Texas do. Mind you, baseball has always been a big part of my life due to the fact I had four sons and each one played all the way from T-ball to High School. In fact, when my last son was born and they told me it was a little boy, my remark in the delivery room was, “Oh, no! Seven more years of little league!” And I always got stuck frying french fries when it was my turn to work the concession stand. :thumbsdown:
But it’s the first time any league from Texas made the World Series, so it will be worth keeping up with.
Every November they have what is called National Novel Writing Month. It is a challenge to writers to individually set a goal of writing a 175 page novel (50,000 words) from Nov. 1 – midnight Nov. 30. But when I had signed up for Fast Draft earlier this month, a hurricane entered the gulf and lots of friends and family came to visit. :eyes: The minute I signed up for NaNoWriMo, hurricane Wilma reared her ugly head. I am beginning to see a pattern here. And not a good one.
