Scalzi – Things I Don’t Have to Think About Today

Taking things to a more serious level here (don’t worry, the regular goofiness will resume shortly no doubt), this post from John Scalzi is just about as touching and as powerful as it gets.  I STRONGLY encourage you all to go and read it, then read the comments, then add your own comment to his post, then tell your own circles about it.  The disclaimer I can offer here is: I promise that there is no guilt-hook at the end, but you will be thinking about it for a while.

Things I don’t have to think about today

“Up” Rocks

Took a whole crew to see “Up” on Saturday.

Do yourself a favour and take everyone you know to see this, we should reward complex, emotional storytelling in lieu of cheap crap.  Best of all, you can take the whole family.  The story was touching, funny, exhilarating, it has everything.

We all enjoyed it tremendously, and it seems that lots of other people did too.
