Little break for the new year…

Hi, folks–

Whew. It’s been crazy with all the holiday stuff. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about, whether you get into the holidays this time of year or not. Even if you don’t, the frenetic energy in the air kinda sucks you in anyway.

All right, so I’m just dropping by quickly to wish everyone a happy week and to tell you all to go catch some movies if you can. I highly recommend Sherlock Holmes Game of Shadows if you haven’t already seen it and the American version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was all right (Rooney Mara’s performance was quite good), as well, though I haven’t seen the Swedish version yet, so I could be wrong.

And though Netflix was kinda doofusy this year, I still do get the streaming flicks, so I’ll be catching up on some films there. Just finally saw Ironman 2 and I’ll probably watch The Fighter, though that’s kind of a gritty downer film and I’m not sure I’m in the mood for it.

Anyway, hope you can get some relaxing in before we start the crazy new year!

Cheers!

Happy Holidays!

(or holly-daze, if you do that route)

For whatever you celebrate, I hope you have a safe and relatively stress-free holiday season.

Thought I’d leave you with some photos of Albuquerque and the surrounding landscapes. Maybe it’ll even get you into the mood to read my NM mystery series, if you haven’t already. The book you start with is Land of Entrapment, and you can read an excerpt here on my site, see if it’s something you’d be into.

At any rate, go forth and see some photos of ABQ.

And I always like end of the year compilations, too. With that in mind, here’s a post I did a couple of days ago at Women and Words with some links to a few of those.

Happy holidays, whatever you celebrate. If you don’t, happy December.
