The Soft Whisper of the Dead

This book was published in 1982, so it is not new by any means. But I had read a list of the 10 best vampire stories of all time, and this was one of them. It was classic vampirism, but even so, when I finished it at 11:45 last night, I contemplated leaving the bathroom light on!!

77 Shadow Street

I am a big fan of Dean Koontz, but I have to say this wasn't my favorite book. It seemed to drag a little until near the end when all the action really happened. A little disappointing.

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark

This was actually quite good, not really scary but pretty suspenseful nevertheless.

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Contagion

Although this was an all-star cast, the movie was just okay. That's it, that's all I have to say about it.

Going to Dance

such a cute little ballerina!

Silly Kali (and Silly auntie)

Note: who keeps appearing in each picture

Farmer's Market

Even though she looks so serious, she really liked getting her face painted at the Farmer's Market.
