Last night my husband and I saw Gravity, starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. It’s a mesmerizing film that anyone who appreciates a good story should see.

Writing love affairs in history. The Language of Fans. Monthly Archives: March 2014. Just a quick apology for the (likely) cryptic post yesterday (if you’re looking for it, I already deleted it, sorry). The Eight Ladies communicate off-line through a private WordPress blog, and that’s where I thought I was posting last night. In my defense:. I screwed up the delivery of my Eight Lady post and was reeling from that. I’m a little over-tired. I’m on a different time zone. March 25, 2014. Today, my post.
