The sound is earily industrial for a natural sound. Luckily they stopped when it was bedtime.<br /><br />I want to be old and say what ever I want. Keith has somehow managed to stay alive so let him have his opinions and voice them. He has a basis of knowledge to speak from on the subject he was opining about. There are some other people out there now spouting off their opinions with no basis in fact, yes I mean the guy with the bad hair, whose name I refuse to say cause I am so sick of him.Kathryn Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07755466843555856661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-72680214377371092522015-09-20T11:53:36.344-04:002015-09-20T11:53:36.344-04:00I'd like to see The Martian.

Very funny, too.<br /><br />Have a great week Alex. One more load of dishes and I'm off to sew Halloween dinner napkins. Missed yesterday's because I surprised Tim when he was gone and cleaned out his van.<br /><br />Then I had to wait all the way until morning because I wanted it to be a surprise before he went to work.<br /><br />So hard to wait, but I managed.

I watched it with hubby and I was bored. It was just the story of a road trip with lots of road rage going on :) Hmmm, the most exciting moment of the movie, for me, was the bag of M and M's consumed :)<br /><br />Again, I'm not a fan of Iron Maiden. But my claim to fame there is that I taught Bruce Dickinson's nephew! An adorable boy. I asked him if he liked his uncle's music and he pretty much summed up my thoughts: "No, I don't like it. It is too loud." What a cutie. The hubby on the other hand, is a huge fan and has seen them live many times over here in Germany.

I had been very fearful of what to expect. But I also have a LOT, I mean a LOT of faith in Terry Brooks making sure the series is done justice. I know he has held out a long time to make sure the right people are involved in bringing it to life. That said, I still am trying to refrain and not have too much hope, because then my standards will be too high, lol. We will know soon (I think it is coming in February right?) I hope it explodes and is very successful on screen, what a great book series :) :) I don't claim official fandoms often because I like so many, but I am defintely claiming this one full force and am so so so hopeful for a good adaptation.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10656368340547599511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-67734614995017656332015-09-12T17:53:52.007-04:002015-09-12T17:53:52.007-04:00Two minutes a day...

My new job is at a place that really seems to care about its employees and isn't out to work us to death and/or pay us as little as they can get away with. Maybe I just have crap to compare it to, but I've clearly lucked out with my current job. Making my living as a writer would be better, but at least work probably won't suck while I'm making my way to that. ^_^Mason T.
