This movie won Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor in a Supporting Role and Writing (adapted screenplay). Find out whether I agreed with the Academy: No Country for Old Men. As a side note, the 80th Academy Awards aired last Sundy. It received the all-time lowest rating for an Academy Award show. Quite frankly, it was boring. I say, get rid Jon Stewart. He was not funny. Bring
A book I never finished… Three Cups of Tea, one man’s mission to support peace”¦ one school at a time By Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin I borrowed this book with determination to read and like it. I loved both the topic and the setting (Pakistan and Afghanistan). Three Cups of Tea is a highly popular, highly praised New York Times Best Seller, so obviously many people have loved
The judge has spared Rolo’s life. He is ordering the dog into obedience classes and the owner’s 90 day jail sentence has been suspended. Thankfully, this debacle has come to an end and Common Sense prevailed.
Rolo’s Owner Found Guilty, Dog May Be Destroyed Raj Chohan, Reporter ARVADA, Colo. (CBS4) “• A jury in Arvada convicted Laura Hagan Tuesday afternoon of having a dangerous dog.

No verdict yet, but today a judge will determine whether Rolo the dog will be executed as a result of an incident in Arvada, Colorado. I will post the result when it is released.

The Coen brothers’ No Country for Old Men, won big tonight, taking home the Oscar for Best Picture, Director, Actor in a Supporting Role and Writing (adapted screenplay). Thankfully, I did manage to see the movie this afternoon before the big show. I was rooting for Michael Clayton, but thought No Country for Old Men was quite good and I will work to get my review up within
I went to the drive-thru for coffee this morning. When I pulled up to the window the cheery barista worker informed me that the woman who had just gone through before had paid for my Irish Cream Americano. Surprised, I drove to work, drinking my free coffee and trying to remember the last time something like this happened to me (never) and how I could pay this kind deed forward.
The 80th Academy Awards will be held this Sunday, February 24th and if you’re like me, you’ll be glued to your television from red carpet coverage to Best Picture announcement. I have always been addicted to the Oscars. I enjoy watching all the pretty-people in their Oscar-best, telling stupid little anecdotes about how hard it was to pick out just the right dress.

I was asked today if I planned on venturing into Politics on Heidi Town. As some of you know, my educational background is in politics and philosophy.
