The Guardians of the Galaxy are hot now. Super hot. We caught 17 minutes of the movie the other week and it is a new classic. Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy has been our favorite comic for the past year. They’re appearing in Silver Surfer this month and it only makes sense that Star Lord and Rocket Raccoon get their own comic.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens is something I could have used as a kid. There was very little direction in my house and I just drifted from class to class in high school. If you pictured my life as The Breakfast Club, I was Brian. The difference was, while he got too much direction and pressure from his parents, I didn’t get enough. It doesn’t sound that bad – but it wreaks havoc with your confidence.

The Mojo household is a virtual feast of activity during the day. From changing diapers to teaching our oldest to use the scooter, our outdoor activities run the gamut during the summer.

Summer 2014 brings the biggest expansion in the history of Six Flags Over Georgia to the theme park.

When my husband was about 12 or 13 years old he found his love for the Ramones. Simple and direct, they were a 50’s 60’s rock band with punk overtones. His analysis of their medium known works is not always punk-but also hard-rock with 50’s sensibilities. He even saw The Ramones in concert twice during the mid 80s in Charlotte NC.

I don’t really do grades on reviews, but in coming up with a title for the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes review it is necessary. The movie is not what I expected and my expectations were very high, but after thinking about it Dawn of the Planet of the Apes exceeded them on every level.
