The Dandelion Army, Crayons, and Sir Ben Kingsley [I read stuff]

When my little guy was a lot more little than he is now, he had a theory about the goings-on in the yard. Specifically, about the dandelions, which never seemed to go, no matter how hard we tried to get rid of them. They were in fact an army. The Dandelion Army.

Walking Dead numbers, Final Season for Breaking Bad, Anson Mount in Penoza, and a passel of Lady Parts posts! [I read stuff]

9 Million viewers! Wow, that’s a lot … and a great way to ensure that there will be more of Walking Dead. AMC appears to do wonders with their programming, and with aftershows like the Talking Dead, it really amps up the excitement for the show. Way to advertise! I’m looking at you, SyFy. Breaking Bad and Hell on Whells are also shows I watch on AMC, and it’s looking good for both of those. Final season for Breaking Bad, and good news for Hell on Wheels lead, Anson Mount!
