Home Fires: June 2005

Thursday, June 30, 2005. She Drives Me Crazy, Like No One Else. Visiting with my mother is always an experience. Taking her out in public is always an adventure. The thing is, Mom doesn't drive, which means, she doesn't get out often. When a sucker like me comes along and says, "Hey Mom, let's go shopping." she can't get ready fast enough. On day two (See yesterday's post for day one.). Well that's the same look Mom gets in almost any store. Is that not the coolest screen door you have ever seen? I tried...

February 28, 2004. I hate being sick! I have been laying around all day and listening to the Good Morning, Athens. Soundtrack. Now, I have a section of one of the love songs stuck in my head. Lady Like Medea/Fantasy Man. Please I swear, there's nothing there so leave it. If I wanted to be with someone else I would. Is that enough, let's call it good. I don't want to talk about Medea. You've lived the life lovers hope for. It was the wrong thing to grope for. That's nothing I can compete with. February 26...

September 27, 2004. Deep breath in through the nose, out through the mouth. One more time. Find your center. Relax. Hold it. Good. One more time. Focus! The rest of the day went very well. No serious disasters. I was mistaken for a sub for at least three periods, which was just funny. I think I can handle this. I am going to leave that open ended so I have an escape route later. Relax and breathe. Center your body. Let the stress seep out to the floor. I want to learn how to sword dance now. It may j...

April 28, 2005. Look what I did! This is what I imagine my cat was saying to me today as I walked in the door. He was running around, touching things, yowling, trying with all his might to get my attention. So, I ignored him. Fine I'll just go play with the present myself. When I stopped talking back to his yowling, he stalked off in terrific, hauty cat style and proceeded to start entertaining himself. Flip toy mouse *bat at jingle ball* flip toy mouse flip mouse. He killed the mouse! Posted at 4:13 PM.

When you're going stupid, the first thing that goes is that little voice inside your head that screams "Shut up! Monday, July 26, 2004. Notes on The Bourne Supremacy. I probably write more about movies I don't like, or consider flawed, so I'll try to be short and sweet about it: This movie is superb. I'll say a little more, but I warn you, I don't do the gushing thing very well. I wouldn't change a thing, and actually feel that rare drive to experience it again in the theater. And executes it like it's a...

When you're going stupid, the first thing that goes is that little voice inside your head that screams "Shut up! Monday, January 24, 2005. Notes on A Fire Upon the Deep. If you haven't read it, then you probably don't know that A Fire Upon the Deep is as good as your favorite science fiction books or better. It's the type of science fiction book so good that no matter how hard you search, and how patient you are, you only find one of its caliber every few years. Posted by david @ 4:54 PM. The movie, as C...

When you're going stupid, the first thing that goes is that little voice inside your head that screams "Shut up! Thursday, July 21, 2005. Have you ever seen a movie that intrigued you with some original notion, but for whatever reason just failed to come together and you couldn't truthfully call it a "good movie" in the end? If you think this way, you'll never make it in Hollywood. At least, not these days; Defamer summarized. Last weekend's box office as "remake, new idea, superhero movie, remake, super...

When you're going stupid, the first thing that goes is that little voice inside your head that screams "Shut up! Friday, May 18, 2007. Hi, I just wanted to point out two recent examples of courage I came across. The first is from Diane Feinstein, calling for. A [meaningless] vote of no confidence in Gonzales. Hm, yes, the will of the senate is to say that they lack confidence in Gonzales. Wow. Clearly they are still riding strong on the mandate of the 2006 elections. Posted by david @ 8:03 PM.

The other night, we watched Back to the Future again, which I had not seen in many years. Holy crap, I said to myself, he said said "Shit! I heard "shit" at least 5 times, and there was an "asshole.". Speaking of movies rated R, Wedding Crashers is fantastic. It's rated R, it's hilarious, it's charming, and it's much better than you expect. Posted by david @ 12:09 AM.
