I hate winter.

While going to work this morning I was stuck on German Ridge Hill for about 20 minutes. The snow was flying and you couldn't see 50 feet in front of you. Once I got unstuck, I made my way back to Wayne (slowly) so I could make up my time in the Wayne Public Defender Office. It was crazy!!! It started snowing in Wayne about an hour after I arrived. This is a shot from the front door of the PD's office. Thank goodness the roads weren't as bad here as they were in Huntington.

A Thousand Splendid Suns by: Khaled Hosseini

PLOT: A Thousand Splendid Suns is a breathtaking story set against the volatile events of Afghanistan's last thiry years - from the Soviet invasion to the reign of the Taliban to post-Taliban rebuilding - that puts teh violence, fear, hope and faith of this country in intimate, human terms. It is a talke of two generations of characters brought jarringly together by the tragic sweep of war, where personal lives - the struggle to survive, raise a family, find happiness - are inextricable from the history playing out around them.
Propelled by the same storytelling instint that made The Kite Runner a beloved classic, A Thousand Splendid Suns is at once a remarkable chronicle of three decades of Afghan history and a deeply moving accout of family and freindship. It is a striking, heartwrenching noval of an unforgiving time, an unlikely friendship, and an indestrutible love - a stunning accomplishment.

Pineapple Express

PLOT: A stoner and his dealer are forced to go on the run from the police after the pothead witnesses a cop commit a murder.
OPINION: Funny, Funny, Funny. I LOVED this movie. James Franco played an awesome stoner.

The House Bunny

PLOT: When Shelly, a Playboy bunny, is tossed out of the mansion, she has nowhere to go until she falls in with the sorority girls from Zeta Alpha Zeta. The members of the sorority - who also have got to be the seven most socially clueless women on the planet - are about to lose their house. They need a dose of what only the eternally bubbly Shelley can provide... but they will each learn on their own to stop pretending to be what others want them to be and start being themselves.
OPINION: This was a Laugh Out Loud movie.

JUNO

PLOT: Faced with an unplanned pregnancy, an offbeat young woman makes an unusual decision regarding her unborn child.


OPINION: I'm not sure why I am just now watching this movie. It was great. I love, love, love this movie. It ranks on the top of my movie list. Juno has such a strange but funny sense of humor. The movie has so many great parts that I'm not sure where to begin.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
