Houses

As I wrote in my Ciel Show blog, my Seattle daughter and family are moving again in the next few weeks, and I have been thinking about houses they've lived in. Now I am thinking about the houses I've lived in, what I loved and miss about some of them, what made me glad to leave... So the prompt... Sign in to see full entry.

Three of Diamonds

I have lately been watching the JONATHON CREEK series from BBC. If you aren't familiar with it, the character is a guy who designs magic acts, and forensically dismantles 'impossible' crimes. In one of the last shows of the five seasons, a notoriously Bad Magician does a card trick, predicting the... Sign in to see full entry.

Something funny about that guy...

Did you watch BLACK ADDER back in the day, or perhaps, MISTER BEAN? The loose and lanky, goofy guy named Rowan Atkinson who starred in them is back. The show is a remake of MAIGRET, a French police detective in the 1950s. (If you watched it originally, it was Michael Gambon in the role.) It is often... Sign in to see full entry.

Puppy tales...

If you have visited my journal blog, you'll have the link to see Charlie's new adopted pup, Milo. Already, there are Milo stories being generated hour by hour as we discover his personality, what distracts him (everything), what gets a bark out of him (the cat Sokka who kinda thinks he himself is a...

still smiling...

Yesterday's prompt was about yesterday's rocket launch. This is carrying on from there... The launch of SpaceX's Falcon Heavy fille me with several kinds of happiness. I was thrilled to near tears to see another spectacular and important rocket launch, and especially glad to hear the cheers... Sign in to see full entry.

3...2...1...

Today, Space-X is launching a rocket that, if successful, will be capable of sending missions to Mars. Recently, I watched APOLLO 13, and was reminded how, by the time of that launch, nobody cared much anymore outside the program itself. It had become 'old hat' with the big news channels of the day...

oops...

Has your mouth ever gotten you into trouble? It isn't always what we say that maybe we shouldn't, but when we say it, or to whom... Get any one of these terribly wrong, and nothing will save you! Some slips of the tongue are Freudian, revealing more of oneself than was ever intended, or seeming to.... Sign in to see full entry.

Ursula...

She was the daughter of one of America's foremost cultural anthropologists, Alfred Kroeber. She was the writer of sci-fi and fantasy worlds that were human-based, and explored our cultural assumptions about men and women, about religion and the truly spiritual life. Her writing was lyrical and... Sign in to see full entry.

Unreality...

I am not a big fan of reality shows, but have been watching a British/Australian show called I'M A CELEBRITY, GET ME OUT OF HERE! The contestants are celebrities known in the UK perhaps, not generally in the US--unless one watches a lot of BBC. In the current 2017 season, re-running on Amazon Prime,...
