“Life’s too short to spend time thinking about life. Let’s just live it.”
Former flight attendant/ESL teacher. Travel the country as an education consultant, happily combining two favorite jobs into one. I try to Be Where I Am, Get Over It, and Have a Laugh whenever possible.
Love: science fiction, Hawaii, cats, all things British or blue-and-white, houses, books, Disney, traveling (especially on a jet plane), work, friends, family, and Asian cuisine. So you might see a lot of photos of those things, mostly taken on my iPhone, which I also love.
Hubby and I live in Texas, with grown kids in California, Utah, Texas, New York, South Korea, and soon Montana. So you can expect to hear about those kids and those places, too.

ewcertain asked: I just finished watching Battlestar Galactica for the first time ever and I am absolutely speechless. I am convinced it might be one of the best television series in history. I even had the board game, which is awesome, before I watched the series. Will you forgive me for being so late to the party?
Are you kidding? We need as many frakking survivors as we can get!
A Guide to Bad Space Science In Movies
Sorry to ruin your enjoyment of Mission to Mars—or, fine, Aliens and Star Wars—but it joins a host of sci-fi movies that just can’t quite get their space science right. Here are the most common offenses and offenders.
You’ll note that The Right Stuff and Apollo 13, the two movies that are based on actual events, come off clean. Everyone else? Fast and loose with physics! But if you thought the most unbelievable part of Armageddon was that there was sound in space, well, maybe you just know more about asteroid drilling than I do.
Hey, where are the Star Trek movies on this list? And look how many checks The Last Starfighter got!
