Happy Belated Thanksgiving!

I can believe that another year has come around and Thanksgiving is here! I also can't believe that last year at this time, I didn't have my dog yet (It has been a great year with Zeiss=]).

Anyway, yesterday was the eighth annual Turkey Trot up here in Maine, and it is a three-mile fun run! I did it last year, too.

I am finally catching up on PLL (pretty little liars) first season, and I am hooked! Last night I saw Pirates of the Caribbean, On Stranger Tides, and it was really good. The mermaids were creepy, though.

In the process of drinking Egg Nog, listening to Christmas music, and watching mom make Danish pastries (Raspberry and Lemon Curd). YUM!

Space Battleship Yamato

-This post will go in the Books/Movies section-

SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO
(This movie was actually a japanese anime cartoon when my dad was growing up. It used to be called Star Blazers)
This movie has English subtitles, because it is originally in Japanese, but the English version is avalible.
The year is 2199 and the Earth is under attack by extraterrestrials called Gamilas. They are polluting the Earth with doses of radiation, and the surviving population has moved underground. The last hope is Space Battleship Yamato, to set off on a voyage to planet Iskandar, to take a machine that eliminates radiation. They have one year, or else the surviving population will be  eliminated forever, and Earth will never be green again. Will this work? Or will it be the end for Earth?
