welcome to july

Hi all, just a quickie post!

Someone on one of the message boards I frequent had a topic about what books or fanfic everyone's been reading, and I realized that I hadn't really sat down and read anything longish from beginning to end in a long time, and hadn't marked it on my "Read" list in a *very* long time.

I've updated the "Books/Fics Read" list over on the sidebar now. I'll add stuff to it as they're read. I read a lot of fanfiction!

Got to see Ruth, Denise, Lindsey, Steve and Dean a couple of weeks ago!  Want proof?



We had a great time - there were a TON of people there (I warned Steve!) and I think we walked about 6-7 miles just on Saturday.  Thankfully it wasn't overly hot. Dean was a charmer as usual *sigh* - and left for home the next day at 4:30 AM to get home for Father's Day.  That's 2:30 AM Cali time.  Poor guy.  The rest of us had dinner on Saturday & brunch on Sunday before going our different ways.

Ruth, Linz, Denise and I went to the Superman Museum on Sunday - OMG, they had some of Clark's ties and Lois's dress from "I've Got A Crush On You".  Yes, I was literally jumping up and down! :D  It was so cool!

I'm going to be working full-time soon.  No details allowed yet - we're still working out the kinks.

I'm working on the "Checkerboard Textures Throw" from Red Heart - one and a half more rounds to go and then the cleanup.  The border rounds are 750+ sts around...taking forever! I want to finish this so I can go back to my knitting needles!

Okay, that's all for now.

Cheers!

still kickin'

Yep. Still out here.  Not much going on besides a couple of conventions (loved New Orleans!!) and some other things.  Job hunting.

I realized that I've added a few states to my 'places' map - I couldn't find the original one, so here a new one.  Added Mississippi and Louisiana!

Again, not much going on.  Working on a couple of afghans, finished a present for Mom but need to block it, and am growing some container tomatoes.  Note to self:  Don't buy any more veggie plants if you need to go back to hardware store.  Every time I go, I come back with another plant!!

I'm going to see Ruth, Lindsey, and Denise (oh, and Dean and Steve!) in Metropolis in a couple of weeks for the annual Superman Celebration.  Should be fun!  This is Dean's first time at this event, so he's probably going to be very very busy. I'm hoping we have dry weather - last year Sunday was basically washed out due to all the severe weather they had.  Hear me, Mother Nature?  No t-storms, please.

Well, I just wanted to check in.  Yankees are playing the Cards right now - go Cards!  I can't stand the Yankees.

Cheers!

i called him santa cain ;)

I got to see Dean Cain again in Nashville along with my friends Denise, Beth, Ruth and Lindsey, and we teased him about all the holiday movies he's made.  I told him we were going to call him Santa Cain, but that he didn't need to grow the beard (he was scruffy Friday and Saturday, and clean-shaven on Sunday!) to be the Big Guy.

This was on Inside Edition this week.  He's doing a media blitz for Defending Santa which airs on Sunday, and so here it is:



Cheers!

white men can't dance, and neither can al roker

Dean "Mr. PR" Cain was on the 4th hour of the Today show this morning, talking about the new VH1 series called "Hit The Floor":

Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

I still think it should have stayed "Bounce", as that was a fitting description! It's about the cheer team, after all.

Anyway, enjoy and drool.  He just shaved the beard - he was still furry last week in Michigan (see "Holiday Miracle Harlem Shake" on YouTube *diez laughing*), so that new.  Hope I can see him in Nashville in October!  woot!

Cheers!

double post night...on a happier note!

Happy 75th birthday to Superman!

Man of Steel opens on June 14th.  Think I'm going to see if there's a midnight showing anywhere close.

I haven't posted here for a while...and I've been a little busy.  Have video and some pictures to share from Wizard World Comic Con 2013, and some baby news about a good friend of mine :)

Warner Bros released the third trailer for MoS yesterday - I'm guessing, due to the length (3 minutes) this is the official theatrical trailer. What do you think?  I'm looking forward to it!!



If you can watch it full screen, I'd recommend it.  I plugged the 42" TV into the computer and watched it, more than once.  WOW.  It's changed a couple people's thoughts about upcoming movie, too - it looks that good.

Oh, and I have to plug one more thing  ;)  Dean Cain's brother Roger's band is going to be on AXS TV on Monday (4/22/2013) at 9 CDT.  You can find out if you get the channel by visiting their website.  Roger's band is DSB, which is a Journey tribute band - here's the blurb:

The World's Greatest Tribute Bands: DSB - America's Tribute to Journey
The next band on The World's Greatest Tribute Bands will have you "Believing" they're the real thing! Don't miss DSB - America's Tribute to Journey, LIVE from The Roxy Theatre April 22nd only on AXS TV.

Let me know what you think of the Man of Steel trailer.

Cheers!

@realdeancain on ktla - it's everywhere

You get a +1 if you get the "KTLA...it's everywhere!" reference  ;)

Anyway, Dean "I'm on the SES Promo Tour" Cain was on KTLA this morning:

EDIT:  Click here for the video. I hate content that autoplays!

Dude doesn't age. *drools*

My Cards beat the evil Reds tonight. YAY! We're rolling!

Cheers!

some addictions are not bad things

So, I've been ODing on an old favorite of mine that just started airing again on HUB.  I was a big fan of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman back in the 90's, and  managed to catch it again starting a couple of weeks ago.  I think I had most of the first 2 seasons memorized!  A former roommate even gave me a framed pic of Dean Cain in 'the suit' as a Christmas present.  lol!

It's a little dated now (pagers? fax? what is this new thing called email? pay phones?) but it's still a lot of fun to watch.  Makes me miss Lane Smith, too.

Anyway, I was wandering around the web looking for...to tell the truth, I don't remember what I was looking for, but came across this:

and had to share.  Hee!!  "Flying blind," indeed. Yum.  Thanks to Melicious for posting the pic first!

The Ravelympics Ravellenic Games start in just under three days!! I think I have the projects printed, the needles ready, and the yarn purchased.  Just need to wind the yarn for my Vittorio! Wish me luck - hope I can get it finished in 16 days, since I'm not a fast knitter.

Everyone tired of the negative political ads yet? I am. I think TV broadcasters should sound a tone to let people know to hit the mute button to block out the political ads. Ugh.

Off to drool at watch another ep of LnC. I'm up to S03E11, "Home Is Where the Hurt Is". I still can't believe that the show is almost 20 years old.  There's something wrong with that.

Keep cool!  It was 107F here today. Can we petition for double-digit heat instead of triple-digit?

Cheers!
