I love movies and I enjoy going to the theater to see new movies, even when I get annoyed by rude people sitting near me. For the first several months of this year, I wasn’t able to make it to the theater. Work was crazy for a while but the extremely bad winter here also played a part. There were a few times when I had a day off that I wanted to go see a movie. Then the winter weather struck again, dumping more snow, ice, freezing rain, or a combination of all three. When the weather was better, I either didn’t have days off or there were no movies that I wanted to see.
At the end of March, I was finally able to end my movie drought when I went to see Muppets Most Wanted. I have loved the Muppets since I was a child and there was no way I was going to miss seeing that movie in the theater. Since then I have managed to see a few more. I have been meaning to write about them, but that hasn’t happened so far. Hopefully I will get motivated to write again and fix that. I have a fairly large movie collection as well as a lot of tv shows on DVD. In the past, I would at least take the time to watch some of those even when I wasn’t able to get to the theater. I didn’t watch many of those in the last several months either, but I have started to fix that as well.

Changes
Something beyond my control that happened on February 25th 2014 is causing me to make some changes tied to how I post things online. Epinons.com, the review site I have been a member of for almost thirteen years, is no longer allowing members to post reviews, rate reviews, edit, or even delete reviews. Members will no longer be able to log on after March 25.
The site had problems over the years, but I remained optimistic that things would get better, or at least, not get any worse. I really didn’t think they would close up completely like this. I guess that makes me a bit gullible. The site has been a huge part of my life for these almost thirteen years and I feel like something is missing. I truly love writing about books, movies, and television shows. Now that Epinions is no more, I have been thinking on how I would continue to write about those things.
Last year, I joined another site, Bubblews as MarieDragonfire. People can post about anything there and some people say they have made a lot of money there. I posted different things there last year, though mostly still connected to books, movies, or tv shows in some way. Other things happened to sort of suck my motivation for writing in general for a while. In the last few days, I have started to post there again.
I have decided that I will post here about movies more again. I am thinking that some of what I post will be like the reviews I posted at Epinions - and I may even rework reviews that were originally posted there. I think I will also post some other things that may just be me talking briefly about upcoming movies or things like that. I have also decided to start another blog just for writing about books, Purple Dragon Books. I may make one for television shows as well, once I think up another name. I will leave the posts about books that I did previously here.
I still think about writing and posting about books, movies, and tv shows all the time. Hopefully, I can post more actively this year between my blogs and Bubblews than I managed to do last year.

Trying to Catch Up
It seems like I am trying to catch up on several things right now. My DVR is staying right about 90% full even as I watch things. Some things have been on there for a while because I haven’t taken the time to watch them yet. I also have a few movies and episodes of tv shows that I want to save because of how much I enjoyed them. A few weeks ago, it got to 100% full and some movies that had been on there for a while got deleted. Maybe I’ll try to watch something from it later tonight.
I have DVDs and Blu-rays that I haven’t watched yet that I want to watch and then do reviews for Epinions for them. I have finished reading a few books that I want to write about there as well, but I haven’t taken the time to do that either. I need to request the books be added there, and while it isn’t that hard to do and the leads are great about getting them added, it does kind of drain my motivation to get a review done. I want to get more reviews done at Epinions again. I’m also posting things at Bubblews, though not as much as some people have been doing. I have ideas for several things to write for there, but I never seem to find the time to do it. I want to write more here as well. I just need to start taking the time to do it.
Every year for work, I have to do classes for continuing education. Some of them are done in the office, and others are online. There are several online classes that I am interested in - I actually do want to keep learning stuff for my job - but I haven’t gotten going on that yet either.
It seems like there is just never enough time to get everything done that I want to do.
