Buffy ,'Never Leave Me'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Okay, I am now so excited about both Brave (which I was not anticipating) and am back to excited about Hunger Games, just on the strength of that post!
You should all try archery! It is super fun!
You should all come out to visit me, because my bow is superbly adjustable and I could make it work for all of you and you could all try!
Not that I needed another reason to want to visit Liese, but now I have one!
I had to take archery in high school PE. I sucked -- that's the only way to describe it.
So, I would love to learn archery too, but i have an astigmatism that is not 100% corrected, so I always felt like I am poster girl for ARCHERY FAIL.
Oh, and me too! And I do fine! So you should try it anyway, and see. There's all kinds of stuff that can affect it, like, is your worst astigmatism in your dominant (aiming) eye (mine is), and do you have near or far vision okay. Because some people look at the target and let the sights drift, and some people look at their sights and let the target drift, so there's lots of ways to accommodate vision issues.
I learned archery so I could shoot people in the SCA. Wonderful fun. I've done some target shooting, too, though I think I need a target to go "Oof! Dammit!" to inspire me.
Liese,
awesome. Okay, I'll keep archery as a goal then.
You NCistas know there's a school near...Apex? I think? for Japanese archery, right? The art of Kyudo is more akin to longbow than the compound stuff bowhunters use these days. Aha.
Oh, there's a great kyudojo in Indianapolis, too. We were going to study that, visited and everything, and then got distracted. Funny, I hadn't thought about that in years.
Anyway! I'm going out to shoot right now! Whoo!
Ha! IO9 is full of "There's a Norse god and a green giant, and this bothers you???" comments.
Yes, yes, it can? Isn't the world lovely?
but the attention to detail reminds me of Ratatouille and how cooks were pointing out that everyone in the kitchen had scars and burns on their hands.
I know somebody at Pixar and his wife was complaining bitterly that the animators and their families who worked on Ratatouille not only went to Paris, but they took extensive cooking classes there.
Unfortunately, her husband worked on Cars instead so she got to go see lots of NASCAR.
She's a caterer.
