Oooh - if I am reading this correctly it looks like tomorrow night RNZB will be broadcasting Midsummer Night's Dream. I would love to see that! I will try to figure out how to tune in - not sure about time zones. Thank you for the link!

Julie Whitfield doesn’t take no for an answer. She always heads up Oak Tree Elementary’s Fall Fantasy Fundraiser, but now she has some competition. How dare somebody try to steal her crown?



Written and directed by Amy Barham, “Don’t Mess With Julie Whitfield” puts two ruthless mothers in the battle of the lives. It’s either kill or be killed.

Good morning all.

Over coffee and chocolate eggs this morning I declared that there would be a Group Walk today after Easter lunch. All of the adults (2), children (2), and dogs (2) in the household shall leave together and traverse the neighborhood en masse. This will be the most ANY of us has gotten out in... well... maybe ever. After looking at the weather I have revised the schedule to a pre-lunch trek, now leaving in 35 mins. Based on the results of that Walk I may be moving the daily happy hour up to noon, LOL. Or better yet: "Hey dad, why did Dee bring two big water bottles with her for just a walk around the neighborhood loop? And how come her water looks kinda yellow and fizzy?"

Spot the Red Flag | Tribeca

Relationships are always complicated, even when you know what’s coming.

Dating would be so much easier if people knew what they were signing up for — or would it? In a world where everyone wears a physical label for their emotional baggage, there *should* be no excuse for getting into a bad relationship.



Tribeca presents Jennifer Morrison’s “Warning Labels,” a reminder that love is anything but simple.

This is hysterical. And heartwarming. If you have 13 minutes I think it is worth watching.

Mildred is so over her parents. All she wants to do is meet a boy, yet she’s stuck working in a bizarre family business that keeps her from living her life to the fullest.

I was re-watching The Count of Monte Cristo, and there’s someone visible in the back of the building, through the window, who shouldn’t be there. Guess they missed that in editing!

Moving to a new place is tough enough, but when you can’t find any friends, one connection makes all the difference. When a lonely taxi driver in Melbourne finally meets someone he thinks he can count on, things start looking up — for now.
