Equal Time

I posted a photo of Ginger so it's only fair that Goyle gets some attention...


Here he is circa springtime rolling in his yard... Not only does he have a big ol' yard in the city but it's like a nature reserve around here. The benefits of living near a metropark, I guess. Bunnies & chipmucks & deer, oh my! We're working on a fence so he (and Ginger) can be free of chains. My busted up ankle will be happy about that, too.

What? I'm busy.

Oh the long sad tale of keeping up w/blogging...

So what have I been up to while I wasn't updating this blog?

• Normal Stuff like working/playing/shopping
• Tearing apart things but not putting them back together on my house to-do list
• Doing endless yard work
  
• Giving into the curiosity & I watching those Twilight movies... they both sucked
• Adding/Rearranging my house to-do list (buying a house is like throwing money into a fire)
• Adopting a big sister for Goyle (see below)
  
• Giving up on my 14 yr old Pontiac & buying my first new new car
• Um, blogging occasionally here: 33etc
• Trying to decide where I want to blog
  
• God, isn't that enough for you? :D

Introducing Ginger (aka Gingerbean, Gingersnap, Harper, Short Stack)

Little girl is 7 yr old-ish Corgi/Beagle mix (allegedly, I think she's a Corgi/Yellow Lab mix) who enjoys long walks around Northwest Akron (or wherever I take her), eating (everything really), sitting in the shade, standing under my feet, ignoring her annoying little brother, & barking at every noise ever.

As for where to blog... I had chosen posterous but then blogger (fucking finally) got new templates. So I'm back here for now, I think.

en français

i've been keeping up with my french film 2010 challenge... haha. not really a challenge but it sounds cooler, eh?

here is the list so far... i'll add it as a link on my side bar & keep it up to date. my goal is two per month... they are not all "classic" french films, just movies en français.

• And God Created Woman
• A Woman is a Woman
• Coco Before Chanel
• Paris
• Slogan
  

Friday Night French Film

I didn't really make "resolutions" this year... but I did make a short list of things I'd like to do this year. Among them...

• Take a real vacation
• Take a language class (French, Italian & Spanish are always on my list but Japanese caught my eye in the university's CE catalog)
• Try some new foods (i kicked ass on this one last year... just sayin')
• Watch more French films

Oh, see that last one? I started that one tonight. Friday nights seem made for a chilled bottle of wine & a classic French film. I probably won't do it every Friday, I can't commit to returning my movies that efficiently. Heh. But once or twice a month should be doable. Tonight's feature?

And God Created Woman

Holy moly. Young Brigitte Bardot really is quite sexy. It was very entertaining... I had to giggle though that what drove the husband to shoot a gun off wasn't that she bonked his brother but that she got drunk & danced all sexy like for about 10 minutes. Scandalous!
