New Windows Internet Explorer

I downloaded the new Windows Internet Explorer this weekend. I haven't had a lot of time to play around in it, but from what I've seen so far, I really like it. Everything seems to run from a more central hub now; gmail, picasa, bookmarks, blog...everything runs from the homepage now - and with only one sign in! I'm curious to see if I can access everything (bookmarks and all) from a remote computer with my google sign in same as I can from home. Note to viewers...if you look at my Jodi's Album link on my blog and see your picture, but don't want it there - let me know and I'll gladly remove it.

24 - Season 6

How many people have been anticipating tonight with the same anxiety as a six year old child on Christmas Eve? If you haven't guessed, I am talking about 24! Yes, that's right, Jack's back and I can't hardly wait! I purposely timed the watching of Season 5 (all 24 episodes in one and a half days) for the end of December, just so that I wouldn't have the looooooong wait from one season to the next "Fox-time". Only trouble is, now I am a slave to the TV - I HAVE to be home when it's on (I have this dread in the pit of my stomach that if I try to set the VCR, something will happen - like the power going off - and it won't get taped, then I'm fucked!), no ifs ands or buts about it! Bree will understand what I mean. There's a two hour season opener on tonight, and another two hour show again tomorrow - DO NOT expect me to answer my phone for those four hours!!!

The Good Shepherd

Friday night Gary (brother), Mel (friend & brother's girlfriend) and I went for dinner and a show. I got to pick the restaurant so it was Red Robin (I LOVE their bonsai burger!!!), and Mel got to pick the show. We saw The Good Shepherd. I had no idea what to expect - which is good because normally I have a preconceived notion of what it should be like, then I usually end up disappointed - but it was good. The acting was good, the story was good, the whole movie was good...but I'm not convinced that the writers resolved the story entirely. I left thinking that there should have been a little more explanation at the end. Would I recommend this show to friends? Sure...but not wholeheartedly.

Blood Diamond

This movie was fantastic - I went with my friend Anne and we both enjoyed it immensely! Leonardo DiCaprio was awesome, as were the other actors & actresses. The story line was intense (A farmer, a smuggler, and a syndicate of businessmen match wits over the possession of a priceless diamond.) as it was based on a true story - highly disturbing that this actually goes on in the world! I recommend this show to everyone!
