Movies Are For Grownups (or those who can act grown up)

This week’s incident at the Alamo Drafthouse tugs at my heartstrings. 😉 NSFW: She Texted, So We Kicked Her Out For those who don’t want to endure the NSFW video and blog, here is the gist: Alamo warns (several times) that calls/texting during their movies is forbidden. Girl texts. Girl ignores two personal warnings to […]

Saturday Rules v 1.0

Weekend! Saturday, the best day of the week, right? Well, it is for me. It’s the one day when I can both sleep in and stay up late. It’s the one day that I have all 24 hours to spend with E. Saturday is for festivals and weddings. Saturday is for mini-vacays when the week […]
