I didn’t do as well in this second half of Round 1. I only got 9 of this set of 16 for a grand total of 22. I didn’t do the best or the worst, but I am not going to come close to winning as several of my second and third round choices are out of the running.
By choosing N x NW and Rear Window, I am losing out in at least two matches in each of the next 3 rounds. All About Eve is my choice for matches in the next 2 rounds. Oh well.
Godard and Kurosawa Regions Round 1 results are in. So far, the higher seeds have been victorious (except Mr. Smith, who got blasted by The Deer Hunter).How you doing so far?
I got 13 of the 16 matchups.
The deadline to entry was 5:00 ET and my email was postmarked 4:57! I haven’t seen a lot of the movies (I was in such a hurry I didn’t count), so I picked based on what I know about them.
Paula atUltrablog commented here today! So I swung by to read her latest post (it hasn’t appeared in my Bloglines yet). She is participating in March Movie Madness (through Boiled Dinner). So here is me, being a joiner.
My picks will be posted here as soon as I have finished.
I got a great gift today. I was reading my bloglines this morning and saw this:
I clicked on Technorati this morning and my Mom showed me this new link. I was really happy. I decided to draw you a card to say thank you. I hope you have a really good day.
The end

I am going to tell you again, you have to read these boys. They are bright and creative. They have some fun times. My favorite blog entries were when Ben’s thinking tree was cut down. His brother Noah wrote a nice entry too. Then there was this great follow up.
Thank you Ben for the lovely picture. Thank you Noah for the great entries. Abi, I can’t wait until you learn to write, so I can read what you have to say!
So we are watching Grey’s (we is me, T, and our friend EW). It’s 10, because we talked all through the 9 o’clock hour. I saw the look on Christina’s face when the guy (Dr. Marlow) appeared and I started to yell, “she slept with him!” and then he enveloped her.
And Callie is freakin’ rich. We were trying to figure out how much Callie could make as an Orthopedic Resident (between $200K and $300K, as well as I can figure) and then we found out it doesn’t matter. Dah-um!
10:30 I love that Meredith can relate to her “step-mother”, but not her father. And Christina just walked in with her real “fake” emergency. I love the way all these characters can turn any situation into their own personal tragedy. They are all so egocentric. I guess you have to be to be a surgeon.
Next morningHoly crap! I knew that Izzie and George might sleep together, Michael Ausiello had it as an item in his column, but Holy Crap!
How cute was that moment with the swing? To think that nail has been there since Mere was a little girl and no one knew it. Her mom was probably too busy to care. Mere thinks she just needs her “people”, but I would love to see a small relationship develop with her dad and step-mom.
Back in September people were writing about those that died on 9/11. While reading some of the entries I found The Super Adventures of Ben and Noah. Ben and Noah are two young boys that are homeschoolers and bloggers. They write about the most interesting stuff and they write really well. Sometimes they post photos they have taken. Ben and Noah also have a Cafepress site where they sell things decorated with their art.
This is their seventh month of blogging and their Technorati links are expiring. Please go check out their blog and if you like it, add it to your links.

I grabbed this theme from Theme Viewer, which is a misleading name, since you can’t look at the thumbnails right now, and I think I like it. I have spent the last hour or so updated the sidebar. I will probably put some more work into it tomorrow. It isn’t as personal as my last look (I took the photo of the waterlillies that was in the header), but I think it is fun.
Now, I should go to bed.
Last night we went to our favorite restaurant for dinner with my parents. They have been in Cancun (for the 3rd time in a year; 4th in Mexico) and we were catching up.
Today we woke up with the alarm at 6 am, but then it was 8:00. I had a great deal of trouble waking up. I did get up, dragged myself to Weight Watchers (down 8 pounds!) to weigh-in, Dunkin Donuts for a Maple Cheddar Breakfast Sandwich and a White Hot Chocolate. We came home to eat (no gym today).
T went to help my dad to go do some plumbing and I tried to watch my soaps. I fell asleep several times and ended up sleeping from about 11:30 to 4:00. I still feel tired and funky, but we have to do box office for a show our theater company is producing. Otherwise, I think I would just go to bed.
Medium was really great this week.
