I’ve got lots to blog about but not a lot of time, so I’ll just throw some bits and pieces of all of them in here.

My life:
1. Had a dinner date last night, it was fun, good to get out of the house and relax.
2. Working a lot lately, not too much longer till we spill the beans on the business. You bloggers will get a lot of the goods first;)
3. kids are doing well, school starts way too soon. Alec’s last week at camp, at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery this week, learning sculpture. Bram starts preschool this year, big changes.
4. Completely surprised and thrilled by the surprise marketing big wig visitors to my blog this week.
5. I watched Poseidon, a great thriller, wish I had seen it at the theatre.
6. I’ve got someone new in my bed lately. He keeps me warm and provides hours of stimulation. He showed me a movie last night. Helps me with my work and may very well be my new best friend. Even better yet, the company paid for him;)

NB Election:
1. Daily Gleaner today had an article about women in politics from the PC party. I actually agreed with a fair chunk of it.
2. I saw the liberal’s new ad today, their second E as Hilary Casey referred to it.
3. Hello to all of you who are finding my blog searching for T.J. Burke and Mike Smith and all the other candidates. I bet you didn’t expect to find this type of blog, lol. They make up a significant number of my search strings the last few days. At least if I don’t count the bizarre search strings like “parking lots girls voyeur” that seem to keep cropping up, lol.
4. PC’s suddenly won the lottery or something, lots of money being talked about.

12:30 am, just getting ready to head to bed after a busy day of work. The kids went with Kevin for the day and I worked all day. Big day tomorrow for Alec and Bram. Alec was apprehensive tonight. He’s nervous about what this school year will be like.

Weekend review:

Friday: Watched Friends with Money - just plain wierd, with some interesting moments

Sat: braved the insanity of malls to finish up last minute school supply shopping

Sun: took the kids out to an antique car show and hike at the Botanical Gardens.

Monday: Worked on a powerpoint presentation.

I didn’t stop all weekend and I’m behind on all my blog reading, newspaper reading, virtually everything, sigh.

Last night I watched “An American Haunting”. I knew in the first few minutes of the show (the scene where the mother, Lucy, hears a noise, gets up to investigate and stumbles into her husband John also “checking out the noise”.) In that moment I knew the whole premise.

spoiler - don’t read if you haven’t watched it and you don’t want it messed up;)

At that moment I knew John out of anger of seeing his daughter flirt at the dance with the teacher, had sexually molested his daughter. Then the first time there was a scene with the supernatural, I knew that a poltergeist had manifested from Betsy in response to the rape. Then you know when the bag of clothes come home with Betsy’s blood and John’s cothes, that you are right. Which really made for a crappy movie as I just waited for the movie to be over to confirm my guess. It was a strange blend of horror (which wasn’t really scary) and an attempt at a psychological drama. And I think because they attempted to do both, they actually failed at both of them, alienating horror fans and boring drama fans. And the media snippets about the only true documented ghost story related to the Bell Witch, didn’t seem to really fit with the premise of the story.

Those of you who have watched it, what did you think?
