An Alexandria court sentenced an Egyptian blogger to four years in prison on Thursday for insulting both Islam and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.

Abdel Karim Suleiman, a 22-year-old former law student who has been in custody since November, was the first blogger to stand trial in Egypt for his Internet writings. He was convicted in connection with eight articles he wrote since 2004.

Rights groups and opposition bloggers have watched Suleiman’s case closely, and said they feared a conviction could set a legal precedent limiting Internet freedom in Egypt, the Arab world’s most populous country.

I can remember not too long ago if you would have asked me how many shows I watch; my answer would have been very little, two or three tops. Now thanks to a year of digital cable with a DVR, I have transformed in to a T.V. junky.
Now, my list goes some thing like this; Boston Legal, Nip Tuck, CSI:NY, Brothers & Sisters, Scrubs, 30 Rock, Smallville, 24 and some times Law & Order. And thats not counting daytime reruns like Charmed once in a while.

Damn, no wonder my house is so messy and my blogs have been neglected.

I am taking my daughter to her monthly check up this evening.

Even though she is in no way ready to be a mother, I am starting to get use to the idea of having a baby around. I just keep reminding myself that everything will be okay and how many people she has that love her and will be around to help.

Our OB has a small ultrasound machine in her office and is planning on using it this visit. It would be great if she can tell us the sex of the baby already. We all have our fingers crossed for a boy.

Of course it goes with out saying that all that matters is that the baby is healthy, boy or girl.

*update* We had to reschedule for next week, the doctor had to leave to deliver a baby. So no news yet.

I’ve been feeling kind of moody and down in the dumps lately.
Feeling fat and yucky about myself.
So I made a hair appointment at a new salon for Saturday afternoon, think I’ll try something different then the same old boring cut. I spent all this time growing my hair out and have no idea what the heck to do with it. I sure hope this lady has a clue.

Any one else plan to enjoy a Paczki today?
I bought a strawberry filled one to eat during my morning break.
And I am not letting myself feel guilty about it either.

Interesting story, very well acted but it must have been too slow for me, I fell asleep.

Running With Scissors
I thought the book was way over rated but agreed to watch this with Bethany.  I have to admit that I enjoyed the film more then the book. Talented Annette Bening was cast perfect as Deirdre Burroughs.

Babel
An amazing display of talent. One of the best thinking films I have seen. I love a movie that keeps me thinking long after it’s over.
