We watched a little bit of the Grammys last night, with the big winners being Adele and the Foo Fighters, each going home with multiple awards. Adele's 21 album won top honor, but I was shocked to hear that the album name signified her age at the time of the recording. She sure does NOT look anywhere near 21 — more like double that number.
What was really worth watching was the return of The Walking Dead. There was more exciting stuff happening in last night's episode than the first seven installments of the second season. Now let's hope that the writers can keep this going. Maybe we'll be able to forgive them for the weak sauce earlier in the second season.

Whitney Houston, eh? Can't say it comes as a big surprise, but it's still a loss. Like a lot of people, I stopped caring about her antics many years ago. She had some great hits, and I even liked "
The Bodyguard" movie with Kevin Costner. Maybe she'll finally find some peace.
Yesterday we saw
Safe House, starring
Denzel Washington and
Ryan Reynolds. It could be described as a mix between
Jason Bourne and
Alias. The movie is not going to break any records, but it was fun to watch and made for an entertaining couple of hours.
