Finding the Art

by

I’m sad to say that I just discovered this today, after having been here three years….but I couldn’t have afforded it, anyway, so it’s bittersweet…

They posted a funny advertisement poster on the grocery’s bulletin board, but I couldn’t find the corresponding poster on their website.  It’s called “Disaster Preparedness” and mocks the rules of Preparedness.   One rule was that there was probably a disaster underfoot if the electricity has been shut off, your cell phone doesn’t work, your neighbors are hysterical, and dogs are no longer running through the streets…:p

This site promotes the films I like.  I love, love, love independent films that aren’t the same old, same old.  I like the ones that make me think–that make me step outside the box….

….and I like the ones that highlight the aspects of society that are not all glamour, such as The Station Agent.   I picked this up at the library, and am sad that I’ll not get to see it anymore once I leave here.  It’s one of those tales that you don’t see that much out of Hollywood–and it’s well written enough that you empathize with Fin without feeling sorry for him.  It’s a wonderful story of friends’ experiences in life–a story of every day people.

 

 

The Pope

by

As you may have heard, the Pope is resigning his position.  An abuse survivors group has spoken out about it.  Perhaps they’ll get someone who will propose women for the priesthood and someone who won’t turn their back on child molesters masquerading as priests?? And hopefully someone who wasn’t part of the Hitler Youth?  One can only hope…

 

 

 

Change of sign?

by

A little amusing side note–I walk everywhere, as you know, and I see lots of “Beware of the Dog” printed signs in doors, on fences, etc.

A thought came to me the other day–What if it said “Beware of the Thing” on it?  Wouldn’t that be a little more intimidating–making a would-be thief think twice before entering said yard or house?  Or would they laugh at the attempt and come on in?

Just thought I’d toss that out there…

Oops

by

Okay, I wasn’t trying to be cute with the last post…I had a funny story from a clipping I had found this morning, but each time I re-typed it, wordpress “ate” it…so, yeah, I figure today wasn’t my day.  It made me laugh, but  I’m not about to re-type it a fourth time.

I did want to put this up, however.  Even the mighty Lion cannot mess with porcupines. Ha ha.

And  I think porcupines are evidence of a Higher Power’s sense of humor. 🙂
