An unexpected treat I caught early this morning was Kubrick's debut film Killer's Kiss (1955). There were scenes I swear Scorsese must have stolen when he made Raging Bull.
I use a Canon 10D which is a few years old and not 'state-of-the-art' anymore, but it does the job for me. I don't need the most expensive camera to do the job. I have a pocket Canon Elph digital that I always carry around when walking the dog or bike riding (heck, when I'm out on the town I'm...
I've been dogsitting my ex's pup. Her name is Quigley Brown. What a coincidence. ;) She may look innocent, but the little bugger just stole my breakfast this morning...:rage: lol

I'm a big fan of The History Channel's 'The Universe.' The repeat of episode one was on last night. It nearly gives my head the 'Big Bang' trying to figure out what's out there and how it all began.:eusa_doh:
If you're ever in Cedar Rapids.....

Another print I bought was Goya's 'The Execution of the Defenders of Madrid.' That one I knew right away. There were a couple more I left behind. I now have a feeling all the paintings were Spanish art. I wonder who the donors were?
Anyone know anything about this painting? I found this very high quality professionally framed 20x24 print at the Goodwill today for $7. I've actually never seen a print of such subject matter at any thrift store before. It was to good to pass up even though I have no wall space to hang it (I...
I watched that again last night. Prince Philip was a real jerk. He was always getting upset that the tea was getting cold.:rage: Even the Queen Mother was a real snot.shakeshead
I just finished watching the British film 'Photographing Faeries' (1997). Set in Edwardian England it's about a London photographer who travels to a small country village where he's been told faeries exist. The film's plot is much deeper than this, though. I highly recommend it as it is a hidden...
I'm dogsitting for a friend so she, my dog and I stayed in bed most of Christmas morning. They were zonked out as I read the paper and watched movies. I don't get to do that too often.:)
I watched 'Joyeaux Noel' (2005) last evening. It's based on a true story that happened during WWI when German, Scot, and French troops called a Christmas day informal truce from their trenches to meet in No Mans Land and 'sort of' celebrate the holiday together. One of the German troops was a...
