Von Maur Re Opens

Von Maur reopened yesterday, fifteen days after the deadly shooting spree. I was a bit surprised they re opened before Christmas but I am glad to see them trying to move forward. I was thrilled to see so many people turned out to show their support. I can't imagine how incredibly difficult it must be for those store employees to return to work. In this day and age of news broadcasting its incredibly easy to get sensory overload on these kinds of events. The chilling 911 calls with sounds of gunfire in the background, the images of people fleeing the store. All of these things make it that much more difficult. I plan on going to Westroads and Von Maur today. I haven't been to the mall since this happened. I need to go there to support those employees and I need to do it for myself. We can't let some deranged madman define how we live. Thanks for all the kind words for those of you who called, emailed, or left comments here.

Lost returns Jauary 31st 2008!

Check out the latest gem from over at DarkUFO.....



Holy hell this looks good! You should also head over to the trailer section of Dark's website to check out the mobisodes. The mobisode Room 23 definitely made my jaw drop.

Trans Siberian Orchestra rocks out to Carl Orff!

Trans Siberian Orchestra, can I hear a huge whoo hoo? I LOVE LOVE his work. Here are clips for the highlight of my night at this show. Very similar performance in Omaha. I will post more on my craptastic day and a review of this week later! At least I had a blast with Josh and Angie at the show! Enjoy!




And one more with a little bit more detail and better sound. Can't see the light show as well though.



And for Angie, b/c the girl next to her had ear plugs in AND covered her ears. And still no signs of life, even through this song.



Finally, any band that rocks out with a bitchin hot pink electric violin is good by me. Check out Anna Phoebe.

Westroads Shooting

I am completely stunned and freaked out. You never ever imagine this kind of thing happening in your town. Westroads is two minutes from my house. I'm there all the time. Totally random violence. And some of these reporters need to take some sensitivity training. Yes, ask someone who just witnessed multiple people getting shot and killed if they can make any sense of the situation while she's sobbing.

Christmas came early this year

A warm welcome back to Nebraska for the Pelini family! I can't believe in all the excitement the past few days I forgot to post about the biggest story of them all!


From the Omaha World Herald,




Go Big RED!

Showtime

If you aren't watching any of the Showtime original series...........stop what you are doing and get your hands on some of these episodes! Itunes, amazonUnBox, or get a subscription. I don't watch a damn thing on Cinemax and HBO has left me longing for more lately. I am completely hooked on Weeds, Brotherhood, and Dexter. Dexter has me on the edge of my seat every Sunday! I was hesitant to see Michael C. Hall after Six Feet Under, but he is doing an amazing job as Dexter Morgan. Brotherhood is everything the Soprano's should have been. And the entire cast is amazing! I have only seen a handful of episodes from the Tudors but I plan to catch up this spring. Last but not least it is great to see David Duchovny back! Californication had me busting a gut on more than one occasion. And to top things off the ad's are freaking brilliant.

Check it out, the best shit on television. Warning, strong language and adult situations ahead!
