The Savages

I saw The Savages for the Oscar task; not bad, not great. I have no objections at all to Laura Linney’s performance, and I sort of assume Phillip Seymour Hoffman would have gotten the nomination for this if he hadn’t been nominated for Charlie Wilson’s War.

My review is here.

101 Things

The header image is too big, I need to find four more Boston skyline pictures, the list is incomplete, and there are a bunch of other things I should do. But no procrastination!

One Hundred One is my blog for tracking my 101 things in 1001 days list.

Abbi Gloves & Ring

Abbi got Heros’ Dreadnaught Handguards and the Titanium Earthguard Ring today. That’s best in slot pre-raid for the hands, and probably best in slot pre-raid for one ring slot. The Kirin Tor exalted gloves are good but I want the two piece T7 bonus.

Haven’t done the full target list yet; should do that at some point.
