Luckily, this excuse does not apply to me. At least not today. *g*

It snowed here again. Crazy weather! It’s snowing here in Arkansas and in Vancouver which is hosting the Olympics in a few days, it’s 50 freakin’ degrees!!! What’s up with that?!

Got a few things on this date in Hollywood history:

  • In 1886, actor Charlie Ruggles was born
  • In 1894, director King Vidor was born
  • In 1915 D.W. Griffith’s controversial film The Birth of a Nation premiered in Los Angeles
  • In 1921, actress Lana Turner was born
  • In 1922, actress Audrey Meadows was born
  • In 1925, actor Jack Lemmon was born
  • In 1935, actor James Dean was born
  • Tonight is a fairly slow TV night, or rather it’s a night with no double (or triple) booking. :)

  • Chuck
  • 24
  • Castle
  • And I guess I’ll attempt to do some writing if I can ditch the brain fog.

    Reading: I finished up Hold on Tight which I was sorry to see end. Can’t wait for the next book from Stephanie! Now I’m back to reading Untraceable by Laura Griffin. It’s set in Austin, Texas where I used to live so it’s fun playing “spot the locations I know”.

    Nothing going on here. I’ve been wading through a bunch of podcasts I downloaded. And deleting a bunch of them. *g*

    Since the Super Bowl is on tonight, there’s nothing else on so I’ll be watching recorded shows.

    Reading: I’m almost finished with Hold on Tight which I am totally loving! Steph’s Navy SEALs rock!!! And so does the cover. ;)

    Well, I don’t drink at all, so this doesn’t really apply to me. But I’ve known people who could certainly use this as an excuse. :rofl:

    It’s still gloomy here. Rain, rain, GO. AWAY. And take that snow/wintry mix in the forecast with you! On the plus side, however, at least I don’t live on the East Coast. Yikes! They are getting buried under snow!

    I’ve been listening to different music channels on satellite. I have now heard three different Lady GaGa songs. And I liked every one of them. Go figure.

    There’s a horse race on this afternoon, but not a darn thing on tonight so I’ll be playing catch-up on recorded shows.

    Did more tweaking :typing: on the Greek gods book last night. But today is going to be a genealogy day.

    Reading: Last night I read Hot Spell by Michelle Rowen which is her first Harlequin Blaze book. It was very cute and fun and I Ioved it! Next up… Hold on Tight by New York Times Bestselling author (has the novelty worn off that yet, Steph? *g*) Stephanie Tyler. :whoo: I already know ahead of time it’s going to rock because Steph’s books always do!
