Avatar and Sherlock

Saw AVATAR today, so now my wonderful friend George can talk about it with me and I'll know what he is saying.  Anyway, about halfway through I needed an Avatar to keep watching while I could go visit "Mrs. Murphy" (read euphemism here).

The visuals were stunning and kept me interested when my mind would wander off the plot (that happens with me and sci fi).  The 3 D was very well done and the colors were amazing.

My question, did anyone else get distracted by the beautiful adornments of the natives?  I did.  I kept thinking, I could make that, and that and THAT too!

Saw Sherlock Holmes last week and liked it more than Avatar.  The look of Sherlock Holmes is like steampunk porn.  Guy Ritchie nailed the feel of London and the costumes were beyond any others that have been attempted.

Well, those are my movie updates.  Tomorrow I find out who my Bead Soup Party partner is.  YAY!!

Have a great Monday everyone!

Have fun

New Year's Eve, 2009

Hip hip hooray!  Not a banner year in the Freeman world, not the worst year either.  I'm longing for a year ending in "0" though.  Just like "0" years for some reason.

As a good percentage of the world is already in 2010, Happy New Year to them and Happy almost New Year to the rest us.  I'll be sound asleep at Midnight, as always.  After the last horrible New Year's party I went to over 20 years ago, I vowed to be home and safe on New Year's watching scary movies and such.

Resolutions, no, plans, yes:

Plans 2010:
1:  Get my etsy up and running
2:  Spend more time doing things I love
3:  Job hunting for a transfer job at a campus, preferably
4:  Take better care of myself, all around
5:  Just be a better person

and 6: is a big MAYBE, add a puppy to the dog posse...we'll see, sounds good in theory.

Well, all have a fantastic night whatever your plans.  Be careful and be good to one another.

Peace and Love, really, in the New Year!

Love Elizabeth, Rudy, Tess and Daisy.   "Keep smiling, it is the beginning of peace." Mother Teresa

Merry Christmas

A very simple Merry Christmas today!  Peace to all.

Slept most of the day....

I'm off for two glorious weeks.  Yes, I'm bragging, but I can't help it.  I slept most of the day today and I do not even feel guilty about it.  I will clean for the next couple of days and then I can get down to some serious creating.

The dogs indulged my lack of attention for the day.  Perhaps they sensed my need to rest.  I was so emotionally tired.

Okay, now I'm hungry...laters..............
