Trivial Pursuit......Boys Vs Girls

Hasbro has pitted men against women in an experiment to see just who is smart in the ultimate battle of the sexes. 'Trivial Pursuit wanted to conduct an experiment to see if trivia can answer the age-old question,' said Senior Brand Manager Hayden West. Anyone can participate by logging on to www.trivialpursuitexperiment.com ...... just enter your sex, your online moniker and off you go. Each time you get a question correct you gain a point for your team. The website tracks the number of unique users and keeps a running tally of the scores, which are displayed at the top of the page and currently men and women are neck and neck. The experiment will finish on December 9 when the question of who is the smartest sex will be finally answered once and for all.

Trailier: Invictus

Looks like Clint Eastwood (Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon) may be up for Oscar noms again with this film that tells the inspiring true story of how Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman) joined forces with the captain of South Africas rugby team, Francois Pienaar (Matt Damon), to help unite their country.

Newly elected President Mandela knows his nation remains racially and economically divided in the wake of apartheid. Believing he can bring his people together through the universal language of sport, Mandela rallies South Africas underdog rugby team as they make an unlikely run to the 1995 World Cup Championship match.

Song Of The Day: Fiesta By The Pogues

"Fiesta" was the last Pogues singles to make the UK Top 30 while MacGowan was with the band.

This Week I.......

Worked two 12 hour Night shifts

Worked one 12 hour Day shift from hell.........3 code whites, bloodshed on my hoodie, broken body parts......holy full moon!

Worked one 8 hour Day shift

Took kids out trick or treating

Had my kitchen table arrive

Attended my girls dodgeball game

Did some more Christmas Shopping

Finished Season 2 of The Office

Watched Midnight Movie ......which had the potential to be so much more. The flick does manage to nail a fun low-budget vibe right up to the end when it derails slightly.
Don't set your expectations too high and maybe you will appreciate this cheesy horror flick more than I. The soundtrack was a little too heavy metal for my liking.
The film’s biggest shortcoming is that viewers will wait for answers to questions that the plot generates but the film does not even bother trying to come up answers and you are left feeling the film never goes anywhere or makes much sense.

Did a major overhaul on the playroom

Worked out at the Gym twice

Received my H1N1 Vaccine

Song Of The Day: Had It All By Katherine McPhee


Here is the official music video for Katharine McPhee's new single "Had It All." The video showcases her new look and I like it.

Trailer: Nowhere Boy

Nowhere Boy is a film based on the teenage years of the Beatles John Lennon. The movie, directed by Sam Taylor-Wood, was filmed in Lennon’s boyhood city of Liverpool and stars British actor Aaron Johnson as Lennon.
The film is based on a book by Lennon’s half-sister Julia Baird called Imagine This: Growing Up With My Brother John Lennon and details the singer’s early life, when he was being raised by his Aunt Mimi, played here by Kristen Scott Thomas, and his own mother Julia.
