Still here

I'm actually waving, not drowning....

The obscure literary reference felt appropriate since summer league ended weekend before last. I'm pleased to report that our team was DSSL champions for the 7th straight year. I always think that summer vacation will be restful, but it turns out to just be a different kind of crazy busy.

Random things going on in my life. Let's see, saw Half Blood Prince at the midnight showing. I liked it, but didn't love it. I think Prisoner of Azkaban is still my favorite although Goblet of Fire was quite good as well. ( My HBP reactions, let me show you them )

Star Trek is still my pick for best movie so far this year though.

I've read 52 books so far this year.  I haven't posted about them here or at 50books1year  as of yet, but I will do so hopefully before too much more times passes. *swears solemnly on large To Be Read pile*

My youngest turned 10 this month. No more single digits at my house.  All my kids have milestone birthdays in '09. N turned 10, J turns 16 next month, and E and M turn 18 and 13 respectively in December.  In other milestone birthday info, I just got back from visiting my family.  My mom just celebrated her 60th.

I'm not fannish about much of anything these days, but I have started watching "Burn Notice" which is summer fun.  There's definitely a place for brain candy viewing.   We'll see how it looks on the new 42" HDTV plasma that should be delivered later this week.  The old tv was giving up the ghost, so I decided it was time to join the 21st century.  I'm curious to see if all the raving about picture quality, "the blackness of the blacks", and the like is true.  

Now, back to lurkerage I shall go.
