Ok, I can't help it. I am totally addicted to the McDonald's Monopoly Game. I don't know why, because I understand it is just a ploy to get me to buy more Big Macs. But I feel compelled to play the game. I even have Splash give me his little play pieces so I can collect more and possibly win thousands in prize money. He laughs at me, but secretly hopes that I win a million dollars and that I will split it with him.
This is all ridiculous, I know. I am even susceptible to cereal boxes with special prizes. A lot of my work involves marketing, and I understand the whole concept. You would think I would be immune to it, but no.
What's that shiny object....? Must go now.

Look at me, I am blogging
Howdy!
Here is my first amazingly brilliant blog post. I hope you will enjoy it.
Last night my husband Mr. Cricket and I watched the new Indy movie, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I did not see it in the theaters, so this was my first exposure to it.
Well....
Maybe my hopes were just too high, or maybe it is hard to capture that Indy magic every time. I thought it wasn't really a necessary movie. The first three (well, at least Raiders and Last Crusade) were really pitch perfect, and made a nice collection. This one felt a little forced, and I hate to say it... Harrison is too old to do these! I just felt like Indy wasn't that strong character that we all love. And seeing Marion (Karen Allen) also made me a little sad. The plot was a little weird, and in the extra features, even Spielberg says he didn't really get it.
Sometimes it is better to just leave it be. And the not so subtle hints that Shia LaBeouf will take over the series also made me kind of tired. Please, let it go.
Ok, that was my first post, suitable for framing and gift giving. Enjoy.
