Here's to you........

I hope you all have a very special day!! :))

So here's what my son had to say about it all.....

Will says:
"I recall when I took you to see Dogma and Clerks you thought they were "stupid" "
Will says:
"so it's pretty funny you've come full circle"

I LOVE MY KIDS!!!!! :))

A Picture is Worth......

.....you know what they say!! This one is for my 'blog-friend' in reference to this comment:

"yea that movie was all dialogue which made it work despite it's low budget."

Need I say more?! :))

I love my crows!!!!

They were on the deck railing this morning plowing through the nearly foot of snow there, scrounging for a morsel. I managed to snap a pic or two...I've got to see if I can get them online. Besides, what else is one to do in this weather?!?! I'm all snowed in!!! Brrrrr!!!!!

I'm NOT 'too old.....

....to learn something new'. Just this week I learned that 'Silent Bob' in the movie, 'Clerks', is Kevin Smith, also the writer, director, and producer? If I knew this before, I forgot....ha..okay...THERE'S the sign of 'aging'....'input overload'. I watched the movie years ago when it debuted...perhaps those details eluded me then.....maybe I just wasn't as interested, who remembers?! Ha!! Anyway, learning this detail made the movie more endearing, especially in hindsight. Who knew then, it would become such a 'cult classic'?! High fives for 'Bob' AND Kevin!! (Okay, I AM showing my age....anyone who knew anything back then knew ALL of this already....still...my original 'point' is made, am I wrong?!) :))

Why was I watching 'Clerks', you may ask?! I have a friend whom my son met recently, and after spending some time with him, declared him to be 'like Silent Bob' (yes, he is extremely quiet at times). Now my friend had never seen the movie, can you imagine (!?!), so I felt it was time he met his 'twin' (hey..they really kind of look alike....okay...they BOTH have long dark hair..oh....and they are relatively both 'silent'). So we went out and bought 'Clerks' and the related movies that followed...well, except we have not found 'Chasing Amy' nor 'Jay and Silent Bob' yet, and I passed on 'Jersey Girl', though now I think I will purchase it too, just to continue to promote Kevin's work. My son, also a film maker himself in Austin (whom by the way just set up a hilarious gig...another 'blast from the past', if you will), suggests I purchase 'An Evening With Kevin Smith' which gives details to the making of the movies. I look forward to obtaining it for viewing.

So, on another note, kind of.....it's snowing outside today, and the landscape is covered with an enchanting display of white (yes, I'm one of those people who appreciates being snowed in now and then....I'm from the 'Deep South', so, unlike some of the natives, I enjoy the occasional snowfall). I took pics, but my PCs are both sick and visiting with the DELL techs, so I'm on my old archaic model and not set up for transferring pics, I don't believe....but as soon as I am, I will post a few. The crows will have a difficult time finding their dish this morning, as you will see in the pics. I even have a pic of a new sighting with my feathered friends. (*Note to self*: Post pics of 'Tapper' along with the snow pics at a later date.)

Did I say I'm 'not TOO old'?!?! Ha!! I just 'remembered', in all my rambling, why I mentioned the snow....(how was THAT for a great segue?!?).....which will give me my leave from the computer today (though it's a great day for writing, too, which I had NOT felt like doing for days (except in my private journal))....(Di thumps the side of her head now with the flat of her hand...'Hello'!!?!?!) What a great day to continue the series of Kevin Smith flicks!!!!! :)) THAT is precisely what I will do next (and that WAS the thought, I think?!?)!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~(After-thought......ya know...I MAY be old, but unlike my 'young friend'....I DID see the series when it first came out!! Hmmm..sometimes....I JUST don't give myself credit!!) ;-)

Upon reflection....

.......my response to a comment leaves me to realize that perhaps the old adage is true: 'Misery loves company'?!?

'Ever have a song runnin' through your mind for no apparent reason?! But it's there and won't go away?!?! Well, tonight, for me, this is the....

"ONE"

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do

Two can be as bad as one

It's the loneliest number since the number one

No is the saddest experience you'll ever know

Yes, it's the saddest experience you'll ever know

'Cause one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do

One is the loneliest number, whoa-oh, worse than two

It's just no good anymore since you went away

Now I spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday

One is the loneliest number

One is the loneliest number

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do

One is the loneliest

One is the loneliest

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do

It's just no good anymore since you went away

(number)

One is the loneliest (number)

One is the loneliest (number)

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do

(number)

One is the loneliest (number)

One is the loneliest (number)

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do

(number)

One...! (one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do)

(number)

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do

(number)

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
