My afternoon stretch of classes is about to start. I really don't wanna work anymore today.
Natter 65: Speed Limit Enforced by Aircraft
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Sophia, The Blue Lagoon is one of my total guilty pleasure movies from that age. I adored Brooke Shields and the whole thing was so beautiful and romantic and sexy and tragic! (When I was 13 anyway.)
I knew it was a book, but I've always wanted to see the original movie, which was early 1940s, I think. With a name in the female role, but I can't remember who now. I want to say Jean Simmons, but I think I'm wrong.
But where do they GET the eyes????
Stem cell eyes????
they are protesting outside the Eye Institute entrance
That reminds me - when The Last Temptation of Christ was out, some Christian group was protesting... in front of a theater playing Tucker.
Maybe someone from the Eye Institute should offer to give them new glasses so they'll go away and find the right building?
I love that Neil Degrasse Tyson is using the term "snowpocalypse": [link]
Sad about Corey.
I am watching Parenthood and liking it moderately so far, but mostly because I have residual affection for Peter Krause from DSM, even though by the end of that I thought every character was reprehensible, because that was probably the point.
Wary about a couple of the storylines, especially the asperger's diagnosis and the biracial kid popping up in the youngest son's life, but overall finding the dynamic interesting.
There was some other show I was going to start watching post-Olympics but it's beyond me now what it was, since I am no longer watching 18 hours of coverage a day.
Speaking of protests, we were in Topeka (you can guess where this is heading can't you?) this last weekend to drop off Emaryn with my parents to go see a horse show and stay the night.
Anyhow as we're driving along, we see a bunch of Westboro Baptist Church people picketing. I think they were just picketing on the corner, because they were in front of an oil-change shop. Not that it matters with them.
A few moments later Emaryn asks, very confused, why they think God hates flags.
Don't really want to watch Parenthood, but my Lauren Graham crush is strong. We'll see if it wins out in the end.
Sad about the Corey, though I loathed him back in the day. Kiefer was my One True Lost Boys crush, followed by Jason Patric.
Wary about a couple of the storylines,
Liese, the second of the storylines is drawn right from the original film with the apparent difference being that in this case, the father takes responsibility, rather than bailing and leaving his grandparents to raise the child. Beyond that, the child's race was never made a big deal of in the film.
However, haven't watched the show yet-- it's sitting on the Tivo, waiting for me.
