  1. ~ DOCScott, congratulations on still being able to enjoy life!

    Sorry the loss of your house hurts still so much.

    ~ Christina, yes, enjoying every moment possible with our loved ones is important.

    We can never know when they or we will be gone.

    ~ Personally, I try to cherish every moment, because any can be my last.

    My children hear they're loved every day, & it doesn't seem to annoy them.

    {In their mid-twenties now, they still say "Love you too." ... Nice.}

    ~ Yep Buzz, 'Seven Samurai' is fantastic!

  2. ~ Farmer? Why don't you do that?

    There are small low-interest loans available for projects just like that.

    A Crafting Quilters Collective would be a wonderful thing!

    & if you encourage recovering addicts & homeless to participate, it's a charity.

    You get more Federal funds. & if part of the profit goes to shelters, more.

    A lot of paperwork, yes, but it could be so worth it!

  3. ~ I'm eclectic.

    I like electronic too, house, jungle.

    {& the ancients like Kraftwerk}

    & classical, tend toward the dramatic there, Katchaturian, Wagner, Tchachovsky {sp}.

    'Classic' rock, blues {I'm crazy for blues harmonica... yuuum!}

    & some country, Dolly Parton's just too sweet not to like!

    Progressive jazz sometimes &, well, pretty much anything done well.

  4. wifey loves house and says that our personalities are the same.

    ~ I don't think that's a compliment actually...

    My husband damaged his knee & got a cane & started walking & acting like House. I gently pointed out that either his attitude improve or the cane was going to be inserted.

    Haven't seen the cane since.

    {& his attitude did improve.}

  5. ~ Got him! :friends:

    the moment caught

    of one that's confined

    defining

    {all the silly refining & such, 'ing' is also not allowed doncha know!}

    ... Ooops...

    I was the one doing all that crap, huh?

    dark steps on the screen

    as the silly runs away

    to avoid trouble

  6. ~ I haven't written haiku for a while... I'll try.

    {I don't do 'American haiku', tho I can. I've studied Japanese haiku, based on imagery, not syllables. What the... I'll do one of each. Or try to!}

    bare trees

    reflecting

    on ice

    trees barren reflect

    upon the frozen water

    winter's complexion

    ... I prefer the 'Japanese' form... more contemplative, refined?

    I don't know, condensed. Able to have more meanings.

    It's hard tho' to craft an image, a 'snap-shot' of a moment in few words.

    {That's what 'Japanese' haiku is, a moment, an image caught.}

    'American' haiku's catching on in Japan even! Altered of course due to the incompatability of the languages...

  7. ~ It's like the biggest blab-fest...

    Snakes on a plane.

    I've read that many just enjoy the honest title,

    others are hoping it's the greatest C movie ever

    {what, they don't watch Scifi movies?}

    But with the cast they're looking for a high-class stinker.

    It's been a web fav for months... just for the title.

  8. ~ Wasn't this type of fuss raised about Brooke Shields in 'Pretty Baby'?

    At the time she didn't know what the fuss was about,

    tho' it upset her she couldn't see the movie she was in.

    It's called directing, acting & editing... Creates a movie out of little bits.

    ... There have been horrendous scenes in movies involving children necessary for the plot. Children weren't actually tortured or raped or killed tho'. If the imagery crafted is necessary for the story-line, then it's there. To disturb probably, yes.

  9. ~ I was wondering about 'Groundhog Day' too. Like that one.

    How's about...

    {Just to be obnoxious & such, in no order}

    Wind {silent}

    Finding Nemo

    Kill Bill {the set}

    Cleopatra {with Claudet Coubert}

    Sin City

    Ice Age

    The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

    Labyrinth

    The Nest {it's Norwegian}

    Alien Mine

    One's that you should never watch!

    {trust me, they cause brain damage...}

    Soccer Dog

    Son of the mask

    ... I've lost my thought just remembering those, sorry.

    There are more, I'm just, uhhh, yuk.

  10. ~ I don't go to theaters, we rent when they're out.

    My husband was reminded once again why!

    Our local film store gets 'em early, so we watched Kong this evening.

    Of course I wept at the end, I always weep at the end of a Kong film, you're supposed to.

    It was my uncontrollable laughter during the middle part...

    Several times it just got my giggles going.

    Annoyed my husband quite a bit, but I couldn't stop.

    That's why I don't go to theaters...

    {Well, besides the fact I they don't do potty breaks}

    because I'll annoy others that don't find funny what I do.

    & I laugh loudly.

  11. ~ Sounds interesting & of course they're not going to get it 'right'...

    What's right after all?

    I enjoy King Arthur movies, but really, based on which tale?

    ... It's conjecture & vision & legend.

    If they do it right, it'll be pretty & exciting & sweepingly visual & fun.

    Can't expect a movie to be more than that, right?

  12. ~ Don't worry, you weren't the only one to giggle!

    He was like the Croc dude, "WoW!!! A nice steaming pile our girl left today!" type stuff, & then goes on a tirade calling everyone <beeps> & <beep-beeps> & more <beeps> because people left smiley-faces & 'see ya next year' stuff on rocks... He felt they were threats.

    He was a well-meaning & way-over-board trusting of grizzly bears nut.

    He seemed to feel he had a beyond-Nature connection with grizzlies.

    Am sorry he & his lady friend got eaten.

    But it was in the middle of a drought, so fewer fish,

    & they pitched camp right in the middle of the bear's hunting paths.

    Bears aren't known for being particular when they're hungry.

    As he noted, they eat anything, including their young when food's scarce.

    Food was scarce.
