I did not watch the X-files on TV.  It's not that I didn't like it. I just never started watching it. 

That said, I can tell you that I enjoyed the movie. (3 out of 4 reels)  My favorite movie genre is suspence/thriller .. and this one is a pretty good one.   

You don't have to be an X-Files fanatic to "get" this movie.  It stands alone.

But I'd love to hear what some of you X-Files fans think of the movie.

Here's my review:  click here.

I go to school full time everynite just to here a woman tell stories that are unrelated to anything we are trying to learn, between me trying to actually focus on my studies, then listening to her go on and on about things that she has no ideas about. The stories oh the stories are terrible...

Without giving away information about the movie itself to ruin anything for anyone, I would like to share that I saw The Dark Knight last night at the theater and it was great!

I'm really picky about sequel style movies and I personally never saw Batman Begins, which is apparently the first one to this movie, but as watching it I became hooked!  It definitely will catch you off guard and make you jump a few times though!  The way the Joker looks in the movie was also amazing! I loved it!

I read MANY blogs today about how people thought that Heath Ledger looked bad in this movie as the Joker, they were REALLY wrong.  I thought that was truly the best part.  As for Batman, I think his voice was a litttttle creepy. Maybe that's just me.

I would go see it though, 5 star rating on my part.

I don't know though, if anyone else has any comments about what they thought.. PLEASE SHARE THEM!

Hi everybody!

OK, here's the word on the Forst Park Field Day this weekend I was talking about on the news this morning. . . .

It's at Forest Park in the grove of trees just east of the History Museum so you can park in their lot.

It starts at 9a and runs to 4 on Saturday, 7/27

There's a fun tree climb for kids  . . . they wear a seat harness and

are helped with ropes plus kids corner activities such as leaf identification, bag stamping and seedling transplanting. There is also an outdoor trade show of the latest gadgets and machines used for tending to big trees.

During the entire day in the same area, professional athletes will be participating in the INTERNATIONAL TREE CLIMBING CHAMPIONSHIPS. The preliminaries are on Saturday, and the Championships are all day Sunday. There are several challenges like race climbing a tree to ring a bell, to prune off a branch, and to save a person stuck high in a tree in less than 4 minutes!  The World Champions will be there to defend their titles. They are Chrissy Spence travelling from New Zealand and Bernd Strasser coming in from Germany!

All of this kicks off the annual convention of the INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF ARBORICULTURE . . .certified arborists who work for utilities and public parks and commerically for residences plus scientists and machinery makers from all over the world.

The INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF ARBORICULTURE (ISA) is headquartered in Champaign, IL, and is a nonprofit org. supporting tree care research and education around the world. To promote the importance of arboriculture, ISA manages the consumer education we site, www.treesaregood.org.

For more info on the conference, visit www.isa-arbor.com/conference. It runs through next Wed.

For more info. on the field day, contact Sonia Garth, the ISA Public and Industry Relations Manager at 217-355-9411, ext. 217, or e-mail: sgarth@isa-arbor.com

And remember all family activities Sat. & Sun. including the championships are FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!

IF YOU GO, LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK, OK?

Tree care tips for summer include:

WATER YOUR TREES WITH A SLOW DRIP HOSE FOR ABOUT 3 HRS. EVERY TWO WEEKS DURING SUMMER. "SLOW DRIP" IS NECESSARY FOR THE WATER TO BE ABSORBED DEEP INTO THE ROOTS AND NOT JUST RUN OFF.

SUMMER IS ALSO A GOOD TIME TO CUT OUT DEAD WOOD.  YOU CAN RECOGNIZE IT EASILY NOW BECAUSE DEAD BRANCHES WILL NOT HAVE LEAVES AND WILL CRACK EASILY!

FERTILIZE TREES IN THE FALL WITH A LIQUID OR GRANULAR FERTILIZER. More on that later . . .

Best to all,

Janis

One day, this man, Tony, died. When he was sent to be judged, he was told that he had committed a sin, and that he could not go to heaven right away. He asked what he did and God told him that he cheated on his income taxes, and that the only way he could get into heaven would be to sleep with a 500 pound, stupid, butt-ugly woman for the next five years and enjoy it. Tony decided that this was a small price to pay for an eternity in heaven. So off he went with this enormous woman, pretending to be happy.

As he was walking along, he saw his friend Carlos up ahead. Carlos was with an even bigger, uglier woman than he was with. When he approached Carlos he asked him what was going on, and Carlos replied, "I cheated on my income taxes and scammed the government out of a lot of money...even more then you did."

They both shook their heads in understanding and figured that as long as they have to be with these women, they might as well hang out together to help pass the time.

Now Tony, Carlos, and their two beastly women were walking along, minding their own business when Tony and Carlos could have sworn that they saw their friend Jon up ahead, only this man was with an absolutely drop dead gorgeous supermodel / centerfold. Stunned, Tony and Carlos approached the man and in fact it was their friend Jon. They asked him how is he with this unbelievable goddess, while they were stuck with these god-awful women.

Jon replied, "I have no idea, and I'm definitely not complaining. This has been absolutely the best time of my life (and I'm dead,) and I have five years of the best sex any man could hope for to look forward to. There is only one thing that I can't seem to understand.

After everytime we have sex, she rolls over and murmur's to herself, "Damn income taxes!"

What joys a child in the country may have
Hiking, exploring, or just wandering about
With the curiosity of youth they’ll cover many a mile
And there’s always the adventures they’ll stop to play out

A broken down shed that may have been home to a trapper
Or maybe a prospector who was searching for gold
A rope tied to a tree branch and suddenly you’re Tarzan
Or making a bow then you’re an Indian hunting

You’re the hero out looking to save the young woman
That villain who kidnapped her is around here somewhere
Or kill the big dragon and rescue the damsel
The king will then knight me and I’ll be a hero

Look it’s a beaver pond so let’s make a raft
I’ll be Huck Finn and you are Tom Sawyer
We’ll pole around the pond enjoying our stay
What glorious luck we found this wonderful place

Without packing a lunch they’ll seldom go hungry
For all summer long there are berries to find
And if when running and playing they come upon some
Then it’s time for a feast that sates hunger and thirst

A child in the country doesn’t need lots of money
He doesn’t need theaters or coin-sucking arcades
His imagination is plenty out there in the woods
And if boredom does strike there’s always fishing and swimming

I just saw the new Batman movie.. It was great. I think it's the best of series so far.

There wasn't a dull moment. All the acting was superb especially the joker..who managed to be villianous with a evil comic twist. There was non stop action from start to finish. Hard to believe it was nearly 3 hours long. I really wouldn't mind seeing it again.

I give it two thumbs up..
