Moving wasn’t something we really did because we wanted to, we had to for my husband’s new job. I really miss my family but I went to http://www.wildbluedeals.com/satellite-internet/oklahoma/m/muldrow/ after we got settled to ensure I’d at least be able to email them and keep tabs with my sister’s blog (she’s got a new baby so she posts pictures all the time.) I actually like this new town although it’s smaller than I’m used to and I’m going to start looking for part time work once the boys start school. I don’t think I’ll have trouble making friends through church and all that but I think the biggest challenge is going to be finding a way to fill the void that I feel now that my family is so far away. I love them so much and they were such a big part of my daily life it’s really going to be an adjustment getting used to them not being around as often as they were when we lived just down the street, you know?

Isn’t it interesting how everything old is new again? A lot of the classic hits from when I was a kid are being remade. Of course, today we have new technology that makes the special effects really awesome. But I wonder why the movie producers are taking the easy way out and remaking something, when there is so much talent out there desperate to get their original script read and a new movie made?

Thanks to Wm Rowe for the guest post!

The worst part of basic cable is the lack of good channels on my TV. I can never find anything worth watching, so it almost defeats the purpose of turning on the TV! I knew I needed to bite the bullet and sign up for something better, so I checked out www.ClearTVBundle.com and found a package that suited my needs. The best part was, I’ve totally got all the best movie channels like HBO and Showtime now! Everyone knows that’s where the best shows are! I actually enjoy the onDemand feature the best, going back and watching old episodes of classics like The Sopranos and Six Feet Under. I like HBO’s new offerings, but the old shows really can’t be beaten. I now know the meaning of “appointment TV,” although it’s nice being able to watch shows on my own time, too. I never knew how much I was missing until after I set up my premium channel connection, and now I’ll never be hurting for a good channel to watch. No more surfing for me!

Dish Network Corp was the winning bidder for Blockbuster Inc in a bankruptcy auction. It went for about $320 million. The acquisition is expected to boost the satellite TV provider’s online features and also its marketing reach.

The Dish Network is the 2nd largest U.S. satellite TV company, with DirecTV at Number One. This week, Dish outbid at least three other companies and bought Blockbuster, the one-time leader in video rentals in the U.S..

The purchase includes more than 1,700 Blockbuster stores, and gives Dish new ways to market its services, including kiosks in the Blockbuster stores to sell their satellite services.

Today we heard the sad news that Elizabeth Taylor has passed away. She was 79 years old and battled a series of health issues over the years. But she was the prettiest, most glamorous movie star that I can remember. I would call her one of the few Super Stars from Hollywood’s best days. I know I have seen every one of her movies, from National Velvet to Butterfield 8.

Rest In Peace, Liz.
