And The Oscar Goes To.....

Hi,

So today is 'podcast day', it would seem. We recorded a second, impromptu session last night with special guest Susanne to discuss today's Oscar ceremony. We discuss what movies we loved from 2008, and who we think will take home an award later tonight.

Check it out!

We're heeeeeere!

Here it is! The wait is over! Here's the inaugural podcast by Paul and Sandi. We don't really have an awesome name for it yet, but we're working on it. It's literally Paul and I gabbing for a little while, but I can promise some insight and some laughs. Just click on the title of the post, and it will give you the link. Please leave some comments and let us know how we did!!

The Music Years

As a follow on to the day the music died post, I have also been recently delving into music lists and finding likes and dislikes. The list i have is growing as Declan can attest to, and i would say he is slightly frightened at the amount of music I actually enjoy.

Well i can say that my taste has not really changed and knowing all of you, you will snicker at that statement as you may think my taste is shite! But I'm now going through a very huge nostalgic phase, I've always been that way i suppose. I am actually going through a list of music year by year from 1970 onwards . Its a very large list as my taste in the 70's is broad from Zepplin to Dr.Hook to Seals and Crofts. Yes i know that last one is Seals and Crofts but now I'm all about music reminding me of something, and i guess that last one reminds me of an album Mom and Dad had years ago so. Its an interesting process going through songs year by year and who knows when i will stop, but the 70's are patching up to be the banner years so far!

Sandi & Paul CAST!!

So, if you've been reading along, you've now heard from all of the Noseworthy kids, as well as the honourary members. In the beginning, when I first thought about this blog, I envisioned a place where we Noseworthys and our friends could come together and share our talents for writing, drawing, photography, and all points in between. To that end, I'm introuducing a new contributor to the blog, my friend Paul!! Yay!!

Paul had a great idea recently. Well, he's had some good ideas in the past, too, I'm sure, but this one was pure gold! He suggested that he and I do a podcast. I was instantly excited about that. I thought, we both like to gab, we make each other laugh; surely other people would love to hear us ramble on about movies or tv.

To that end, we're going to record a podcast every week, and post it here. That's right! This blog is going all multimedia, people! Stay tuned for the very first podcast. You'll hear all about the Magic Awards, musical Nazis, and the Riggs mullet. I really am not kidding about any of that.

MOM!!

So, I'm second in with my Happy Birthday to Mom. She is going to be mad that we're discussing her online, and she'll be even madder that I'm posting pics, but she does deserve a nice birthday tribute!

We're not allowed to discuss just which birthday this is for Mom, in fact, we're not even supposed to know which birthday this is. Still, a birthday is a reason to celebrate and reflect. Have a great day, Mom. I hope you're not snowed in too badly.

Let's see if you can figure out who the babies are in these pictures.

Happy Birthday Mom

Now is the time to become a blogger, and never having done it before is no excuse :)

Keeping on top of things

While I'm not disagreeing with keeping on top of the blog, I will say that it's not easy to 'force' yourself to write (or do anything creative for that matter). Sometimes you have to stay away from the process altogether, and when you come back to it you are refreshed and ready to write again.

This post is an excellent example of that. I started writing it yesterday and am still working on it. I realize that for some my writing style may seem unorganized and confusing, but somehow it works for me. Of course I have to rely on my editing skills this way, and it forces me to go back through things to make sure I am at least a little coherent.

But I do agree with our youngest sibling contributing more. And don't use the excuse that you have nothing to say!
