Vacation

I have just got back from a week off - and I during that time I got to spend a few days in Duluth Minnesota! Check out the pictures from my epic (yet very cold!) visit to the North Shore!

It's vacation time for me, and we've planned a trip that would have some cringing - a road trip to the Gulf Coast and back, with our 2 dogs. What should we know before we head out?

Over the next week, I will be enjoying some well deserved time off! And during that time, My boyfriend Dustin and I have planned a 2 night, 3 day trip to Duluth, Minnesota! Got any great suggestions on what we should do while we are there? Let me know!

This winter my wife and I are going to finally take a vacation somewhere warm. Where should we go?

Ocean cruises are so popular, and a great way to see some of the world's best scenery. I've heard from so many people who've been on a cruise and they love it. That is a dream getaway for tons of people. And they likely call me nuts for not wanting to ever go on one...

A few weeks ago, tracking for Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation was supposedly in the toilet. Early reports suggested that Tom Cruise’s fifth outing as super-spy Ethan Hunt was not getting people excited. This would be the end, the experts said, of a franchise that has kept Cruise’s career surging forward for the past two decades. Well, that was apparently a big load of crap because Rogue Nation opened well and opened in the same ballpark as the rest of the franchise. Even with inflation differences, this series keeps on hitting the same box office sweet spot.

Full disclosure: I missed the last 10 minutes of Vacation. Last night’s press screening started 20 minutes late, then began without any sound, which lead to a 10 minute delay to correct the technical difficulties. With an unbreakable engagement elsewhere, I had to sneak out right before the very last scene. So take this review with as many grains of salt as you’d like. If you think those final minutes might recontextualize everything that came before to transform a generally miserable comedy into a beacon of transcendent hilarity, so be it. Having sat through the previous 90 minutes, I’m of the opinion that nothing short of the long-lost missing footage from Orson Welles’ Magnificent Ambersons could have redeemed this dreadful film.
