More Popcorn & Coke for everyone!

Funny that I chose the name "Popcorn and a Coke" for my movie blog given that I'm hypoglycemic and can't consume either of those things. Well, I didn't know it then, and I definitely had my share of popcorn before I knew that it was hurting me. Anyway, I am totally off-topic.

Just wanted to let you all know that I am hereby and officially reviving the old movie blog. Let's see how it goes. You can check out my latest posts on the actual blog or you can follow me on Twitter.

So far, so good. It's actually kind of unbelievable the kind of fast connections you can make on Twitter. Within a few hours of starting my account I was being followed by the likes of Moviemaker Magazine and I got an invitation to a local film event tonight. If I want to attend "professionally", I can also get VIP seating for next week's Film On The Rocks.

None of that is really as exciting as it sounds, it means very little to be followed by someone in many cases. But there seems to be some opportunity here to gain access to some kind of success that I didn't have access to before. Mostly I'm just excited to start the blog again. I really miss it. These other blogs have sort of taken precedent by default when I became a parent with all the associated family news and photos. But P&C was my first blog-love, and I hope I kind find time to bring it back.

By the way, I also have a personal account for Twitter. I don't want to advertise it publicly, so let me know if you want it and I'll email it to you.

(http://www.foodincmovie.com/) i heard a review of it on fresh air. hmm. . . we can thank the government for the subsidies that make corn cheaper than it should be to create food that we shouldn't eat. . . . or so they say!; 6/19/2009 11:39 PM
Reem said...: Very cool! I was actually thinking about this for quite some time: using Twitter while I write my big book to do updates and publicize at the same time! Hope I'm a better tweeter than blogger! :-) Good luck!; 6/28/2009 1:51 AM

How we're doing right now.

April 6th, 2009
Oh man, moving back home has been quite a transition! For Regin especially. It has taken him three months to return to being fully, or almost fully, potty trained. But we're home and happy to be with friends and in an environment where things are easier.

But of course, not everything is easier. George's first day back to work he learned that the company was exiting the business and he and all the other people that work on that product (including all those people he trained in Penang) were told to look for other jobs.

His last day was March 31st. No time for that cozy little 'sabbatical' though; after he finished his last day of work, his family called and told us they are coming (from Florida) for a visit on the 10th! This would be no big deal (other than being terribly exciting) if we were fully moved back in, but of course, until now, we've had VERY little motivation to fully unpack! So now we're preparing the house at warp speed!

You know, I do miss Penang. Hard to say what I miss exactly, because I know it's more than our friends there, but I feel a certain pang. And all the time we were there, other than missing family, friends, easy living, and snow, I never once actually missed 'Colorado.'

When we got back to Colorado, I expected to have a new and complete love for the place. I do appreciate some things a lot more, especially visual things. I see beauty where I didn't before. But it hasn't been the feeling of home that I expected, and I still have some of the same issues with the place. But what I do love IMMENSELY and will always love IMMENSELY is the people we have here. And it's been absolutely amazing to see how Regin has picked right back up where he left off with his loved ones here. There's no doubt in my mind that he somehow remembers them.
