Recently, the South by Southwest music, film, and interactive festival wrapped up after another successful year in Austin. Because it falls during spring break week, it has become my tradition to take a break from my teaching job to work for the festival at one of the music venues. It is always an interesting and enjoyable change of pace for me, and my students get a real kick out of imagining their teacher working at a club and reveling along with the music lovers and club hoppers.This year was no different.

Nominated for 14 Academy Awards and winner of 11 including Best Picture, Titanic became a worldwide phenomenon upon its release in 1997. Written and directed by James Cameron, the producer behind such hits as Terminator 2 and True Lies, the film chronicles the tragic 1912 sinking of the Titanic on its maiden voyage while interweaving a classic love story. At 194 minutes, it's probably the longest commercial blockbuster in recent memory. Apparently, the sinking of the ship mirrors the real life timeline of the original sinking of the Titanic and that's the reason for the three-hour plus running time (or at least, that's what I've heard). Nevertheless, unless you're absolutely disgusted by overly idealistic love stories, it's a film well worth watching.
Maybe you are in search of the one vehicle that you can take on family trips. Obviously you need a big one to accommodate your family's travel essentials, but then you also know that such a vehicle requires a huge investment. In which case, you may want to consider getting one of those Florida repossessed RVs instead. Repossessed recreational vehicles or RVs for short are vehicles that have been repossessed by a certain financial institution for failure of the owner to pay his or her loan obligations or seized by the government for non payment of tax dues.
If you are looking for some fun things to do in Las Vegas with the family, keep in mind that Vegas is a city abounding in lights, action and feverish excitement. Most of the attractions will have one, if not all, of these ingredients for fun! The Nevada Zoological and Botanical Park is a great way to spend a day. While this is by no means the world’s largest zoo, it is a great place to take your kids and visit the wildlife (well, the animal kind!). Some of the animals you might see include chimpanzees (usually a hit with the little ones), emus, ostriches, wallabies, and flamingos. You can also choose to take a full or half day eco tour of the desert. These tours give you a great insight into the desert, while providing a rich educational experience, disguised as fun, for your children. |
