… to… stew (yeah, I decided a pork stew would be a nice change of pace today)… I thought I’d attempt a post. Last night I watched “Lost Horizon” (the 1937 version, of course.) I love this movie… loved it ever since I first saw it at a tender age of 8. When I bought the DVD a few years ago I wondered if it would hold the same delight as it did when I …
Looks like the Big NO has a new mayor. Looks like the nation has a new President. My thoughts? (Not that they matter. lol.) No matter one’s level of cynicism or disdain… I think we can all agree that this is historic. No doubt that word will be used over and over again for the weeks to come… and as sick as we become of it there is no denying it as fact. It was …
NOTE: This is a rolling post I started at 3 PM Tuesday and I will continue probably until the election is finally called. THOUGHTS & QUESTIONS as they come in (and in no particular order) Voting Machine Issues: Does anyone else share my feelings of irony here? The number one nation that “exports democracy” should not be having these issues… especially after the Florida situation in 2000. One would think that 8 years was a …
… over the next few days so there is going to be a lot of laundry that absolutely MUST be done today. So it’s batten down the hatches time around the homestead. PLANS FOR TOMORROW? Whip up a big mess of comfort food and hold up with some movies. I really don’t do holidays anymore. (What? Lecram, you are not doing Halloween?) I sort of stopped a few years ago. (How weird… especially for a …
… how do you see it being defined as? I only ask because I was thinking about the last century… at least the 4 decades I lived through. Each one seemed to have it’s own feel and definition. It may be in mindset, trends, etc. For instance, the space race dominated the collective consciousness in the first half of the 60’s. So this influenced design, clothing trends and popular entertainment. (But Lecram, that existed in …
Some of you are already aware that I more often than not do a lot of my TV viewing online. Firstly, because I don’t watch that much TV and secondly because the few programs that I may want to watch are usually inconveniently timed against my personal schedule. This is also traditionally the period of the year when I try to catch some of the newer shows to see if there is on or two …
… a curl of secret mischief on the lip… a certain bounce to the step. A disheveled whimsy has overtaken the individual’s demeanor. They are not telling but you know… or at least have a strong inkling that a line was crossed recently… and crossed willingly. The first flush of romance at this stage of infancy could amount to more than just an opportunistic fling. The period of feeling out and guessing games have played …
This is an ongoing observation for this year. I think it would be safe to say that this one has certainly been playing out the prediction I made at it’s beginning. I know it has for me. As I look around it seems to be a prevalent aspect in so many lives around me as well. Some have been pro-active while others have chosen to plug away in their seemingly safe “same old” mode. Even …
This weekend I watched the movie “The Kite Runner“… which incidentally I highly recommend. This weekend I also caught up with the news on the political situation in Malaysia. In an odd sort of way the two seemed strangely related … at least in my mind. Somehow both triggered thoughts about romantic idealism as well as sins of the past… even those more cruel ones committed and/or witnessed in our youth… OK, at least mine. …
