Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
I just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I’ve mailed off several packages of books, but unfortunately it will be Monday before I can mail the books to my Canadian friends. Customs forms–I forgot to pick those up at the post office. 
I have corned beef in the crock pot and this morning I made a delicious batch of soda bread. Love it. Outside it’s cloudy and cold, and we have a warm fire going in the fireplace. The children are taking naps, and I’m working on revising Her Wild Irish Rogue. I decided to take a day or two and flesh out some of the earlier scenes, tighten the emotions, and make sure things are going the way they should.
I have to play “catch-up” since I spent the past two days enjoying movies with my husband. We watched “Casino Royale” and “The Departed.” Yes, guy movies. I’m not sure I completely love the new James Bond, but I suppose he does better in the action roles. Pierce Brosnan will always be my James Bond. Now that man is incredibly suave. He was wonderful in the role.
I’ve heard a lot of hype about the new movie “300.” Everything from–it’s terrible, to–go see it now! What do you think? Is it worth seeing or better to rent it on DVD?

There really has been a massive amount of hype about 300, hasn’t there? Even the History Channel, History International and the Discovery Channels are getting in on the act. Frankly, I’ve never found the Trojan war or the Spartan war all that interesting.

And I thought the Departed was a good movie. Haven’t seen the Bond as yet.
Robyn Says:
300 is based on a Frank Miller comic, which is loosely based on the historical account. I understand it is incredibly bloody, as you might guess; even though the cinematography would play better on the big screen I’m not much for blood and guts, so I’ll probably rent.
Gerard Butler shirtless is ALWAYS worth $3.75!

I don’t go to movies so I’ll wait until it’s on tv. It doesn’t really sound that good to me but then I’m not a big James Bond fan.

I liked 300 but didn’t love it. It isn’t as bloody as I expected. I loved Casino Royale.
