Last night I went to a Halloween/Birthday party and it was so much fun. Happy Birthday CLAY! Here are some photos: (I'm the red devil in the first two pics)

The first card (to the right) was a goodbye card for a co-worker who's last day at the office was on Friday. The Second Card (below) is for my neighbor/friend who's birthday party is also tonight's Halloween party. The inside of the card scanned in a little funny but you get the idea.

Rating: 3/5 Stars 3 Plots - One confusing story... 1) A shooting on a Ferry that leads to a man chase and one of the Women's murder club hospitalized. 2) The search for a missing child abducted from a local park. 3) Violent activities are occuring in one of the Women's Murder Club member's new apartment building. This 6th installment of the women's murder club had barely any of the women's murder club in it. Yes, the regular characters are in it, and something happens to one of them and another is affected by violence in her building. But they didn't do their usual meet ups to discuss the crimes and that's one of the things I really like about this series; The dynamics of these women working together. I also am not happy about there being three stories that aren't related in the book. I like it when there is one primary plot OR two stories converge.. otherwise the details of each get fuzzy. In fact, the details got so fuzzy for me that at the end of the ...

I saw several movies this weekend and they were all very enjoyable. Paranormal Activity Katie and Micah recently moved in together and believe they are being haunted by something paranormal. Katie thinks she is the catalyst for this haunting and it used to the seriousness of the situation but Micah is new to the experience and almost treats it like a game. Hence the premise for the movie, recording their life to try to catch these hauntings on tape, so that they can figure out what it is and how to stop it. There is a lot of downtime in this movie, I assume for character development. But the suspense is incredible and the haunting scenes are down right creepy. I thought they did an excellent job with this movie, especially for low budget and I haven't been this creeped out by a movie since the Grudge. Law Abiding Citizen A man's family is brutally murdered and when the DA gives one of the killers a plea bargain with a very short sentence, the man sets out to make things right w...

Today is the last day for the GRAMMAR RULES CHALLENGE and I did not finish it #1 A verb - N/A #2 A personal pronoun - N/A #3 An adjective - Beautiful Lies by Lisa Unger #4 A noun - The 5th Horseman by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro This challenge was a lot of fun to plan for and I'd try it again another time. I had books lined up for the two categories I missed but just couldn't get through them and ended up not finishing them. To see the reviews for the books I read for this challenge follow the links.

Rating: 4/5 Stars We all know Vampires aren't real, right? So then why are people all around the United States being killed and found with bite marks and drained of their blood? That's where detective Alex Cross comes in: In Book #7 of the Cross series, Alex delves into the underground world of the Vampire to find the truth around these killings. Cross finds a whole underworld of people living their lives as Vampires, even partaking in the drinking of blood. Meanwhile, the Mastermind is back and is harrassing Cross with phone calls and threats, and then he starts to follow through on his threats. Alex Cross has to deal with many professional and person issues in this book which could probably have been broken out into two books. The Vampire Murders and the Mastermind plots are both individually enjoyable. Together they seem to try to take your mind of who the Mastermind could be, even though it's pretty obviously early on with the not so subtle hints given by Patterson. All...

I really liked the character development of this movie and thought it was really well done.
