There Will Be Confusion...

oh my.... paris & i saw "There Will Be Blood".

sheesh-loueesh. i don't know what to say...

the acting was impeccable.
the sets and scope of the film were perfect.

the story??? it fell flat in SO many ways for me. and i really wanted to love this film. i really did.

what a tragedy, this man's life; an epic failure in so many ways.
as paris & i were sitting there, dealing with this gritty, raw, definitely "Guy Movie", i whispered, "27 Dresses is looking pretty good about now, isn't it"?? :o)
would that we had...

but then last night, tom & i saw "No Country For Old Men".

i wish SO badly that i could say that seeing that movie made up for the lack in "T.W.B.B." but sadly, NO, it only made my angst at recent movies worse...
Did you get the whole "thing" about this movie? If you did, please tell me! Nothing got resolved, everyone- oops, i won't spoil it. but seriously, help me understand why this movie was made!! :op

NOT a color found in nature.

omgosh... have you ever seen Flaming Hot Cheetos Puffs??

that is NOT natural. Not at all.
We should bring them to "Man Night"... see if any of the boys can eat them- or would WANT to...
speaking of Man Night- here's Chris and Ben jamming after sunday service... they're really great guys. (chris is the boys 5th & 6th Grade pastor)

Breakfast with Jude

My sweet friend, Jude...

we met today at The Filling Station in the cirk- i love her! You know those people who you are just SO comfortable with? To say anything to and you know they won't flip out because they know if you're just in a weird mood or just feel like venting...??

i love that about her. she's a freak herself so there you go... i've got yer back, jude!!!

are you a SPAZ like me???

I just FLIP OUT over great old photos...

They take me back, body and soul, to another time... i just yearn to talk to them - to find out what it was like to live in that world... that totally different world...
it's amazing... they were SO beautiful... buildings were beautiful, cars were beautiful.

"Public office is the last refuge of a scoundrel." That was said by this gentleman above, Senator Boies Penrose, a Republican from Pennsylvania. I love that quote... ;o)

This is the state funeral of Maurice Berteaux, French Minister of War, born 1852, died 1911.

I don't know what it is, i just think these images are amazing- it's like listening to a recording of Al Jolson singing, or an old recording of Roosevelt's fireside chats... it takes this moment in time and freezes it there; if you close your eyes you're there, in that time. it's cool.
My grandpa might have shopped in this store when he was a young man... it's in Lincoln Nebraska, taken in the 40's. Can you believe the color?? Just gorgeous.

The Library of Congress started posting some of their public-domain images on Flikr. It's fantastic...
