Far From the Madding Crowd

Two weeks ago, my daughter & I arrived at Apricot Lane Farms, located in a sleepy town just 45 minutes north of Los Angeles to celebrate the Blu-Ray/DVD release of Far From the Madding Crowd.

Last week I attended a screening for the first episode of Kevin From Work. Office romance, a crazy boss, smelly break rooms, these are the topics that are touched on in this zany TV comedy about life in the cube farm (otherwise known as work).

Highlights from Star Wars Celebration

Posted on April 23, 2015 | Filed Under: Pop Culture | Tags: Furbacca, Star Wars, Star Wars Celebration | 4 Comments

Star Wars fans took over the Anaheim Convention Center for four days during a conference called Star Wars Celebration. It was crazy fun, a bit overwhelming at times but I’m glad that I got to experience it, especially since my hubby & daughter are huge fans.
