The 9-12 Project

If you are watching the news or reading the newspaper and not liking the direction our country is heading in, what our government is or is not doing, and the legacy of debt they are leaving for our children and grandchildren, you aren't alone. We've gone off track on what our country is about, what it was founded on, what was good about our country and it's damn scary to me.

Guitar Hero Metallica

Guitar Hero just released Metallica!! We used to have Guitar Hero for our PS2. Now we have an XBox 360 and the kids would get a huge kick out of being able to play Guitar Hero. I'm not comfortable buying them though until I see some reviews. Like a lot of parents, I am not comfortable with the "Teen" video rating so I wait to see how other parents rate it for their younger children first. If they'd make a Guitar Hero with teen pop starts like Miley or the others like her, then I'd be a little more comfortable buying it. Otherwise, I have to worry about video babes with excess cleavage spilling out, etc.

We did just buy the Dance Dance Revolution High School Musical 3 for our seven-year-old as an early birthday present. She's a huge HSM3 fan. The kids loved it.

Earth Hour

Well, I missed it...didn't know what it was. If you didn't either, I'll tell you according to Wikipedia:

"Earth Hour is a global event organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and is held on the last Saturday of March annually, asking households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights and other electrical appliances for one hour to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change. "

For being a world-wide event, it wasn't publicized very well. Apparently, from 8:30-9:30 p.m. last night (local time), people around the globe participated. I would have if I'd known. My kids, two of whom belong to their school's environmental team, would have liked participating.
