chicken fried rice
Mar. 22nd, 2012 01:37 pmIt's a lot of time, effort, not to mention money, for essentially amounts to a plate of chicken fried rice. But it's worth it. Plus, I need to get out of the house sometimes. I am sure the extra synaptic firings are good for the brain.
I also liked using the 'scheduled postings' feature on LJ, heh. Not that it got me any more comments, but that's another matter, an old matter.

good to see Sammy
Mar. 22nd, 2012 09:17 pmThere he is! So good to see Sammy whole and healthy.
Over dinner, I heard the loudest, sharpest feline squeal, and I know it was a different register from that of the female cat in heat.
And I was also feeling guilty. I have been thinking that it might not be so bad to lose Sammy. He is such a cry-baby, and he cheats me out of my sleep. You no how I am about my sleep. But, of course, I don't really want to lose anyone.

A New "1984" Movie
Mar. 22nd, 2012 09:43 pmIt looks like Orwell's "1984" might be getting a new movie adaptation. They are in the very early stages, though, so everything may fall through. It was not long ago when there was a lot of buzz about Milton's "Paradise Lost" being made into a movie, and that project recently fell apart.
Personally, I like the last movie with John Hurt and Richard Burton and that hot chick, but I can easily imagine a better version, so that I feel expectant about a new movie. However, I am afraid that they will only do something hip and cool for the youngsters - think of the re-make of "Rollerball". But I am always willing to hold out hope for something more artful, something that really draws you in and holds you in awe.
I would hope that they also keep all the nudity that helped to set the last movie off. Nothing like a little bush to keep the men awake and interested, especially Monk. However, I would bet they won't. Why lose audience with an R-rating, when you can skip the nudity and let the kiddies in the theater? Of course, if they do a fantastic, beautiful job on the movie, I won't mind losing the nudity, though I really do appreciate a little artfulness in my cinema.
In all seriousness, the story needs the sensuality and sexual passion, as it is a bleak story set in a grim world. We need a little fire of life and hope at its core, even as we know that that fire will be snuffed out at the end.
