Imagine Christopher Walken in orange playing an orange and white tabby cat. And singing and dancing, to boot…
As Puss ‘N Boots
Yes, indeed, he’s just got his boots in this 1988 Cannon film of the fairy tale by Charles Perrault (attributed here to the Brothers Grimm) and now he’s doing a softshoe on the [...]

I watched this movie in April of 2007 but am only now blogging about it in December of 2009 (but am retro posting this in April of 2007). What makes me sad is I don’t recollect anything about it other than it was really short, which was a plus, and had really bad production values. [...]

Seriously, the odd note. I’m sitting here yesterday morning working on photos and there was a peculiar wispy beep sound from the kitchen. We should have no beep sounds coming from the kitchen, but there it was.
And then tonight I wake up and come in and sit down and after about five minutes [...]

‘Tis the Season for Festivals. H.o.p. missed music at the Dogwood Festival a couple weekends ago as the weather was nasty, but he had fun playing around on the kiddo installations. Made up for it today with an earful at the Inman Park Festival. Saw Gwen Hughes and the Swimming Pool Q’s [...]

Atlanta Zoo, Tiger Exhibit, April 2007
I don’t know who these people were in front of me but I love the expression on the woman to the far right. I wasn’t aware of her but she was aware of me and the camera and granted a bemused grin. Glad I caught it. Most [...]

Well, we missed Bill Moyers’ “Buying the War” on television last night, so am happy to find that I can watch it online, which is what I’m now getting ready to do.
P.S. Watched. It’s nice to have Bill Moyers back.

Hopefully you have 3-D glasses on you. Because this image of the sun in 3-D is pretty wonderful. I’d read the images were going to be released at the end of April and was looking forward to it.
H.o.p. was appropriately impressed.
More incredible images.

I’m so tired I can hardly focus but I’ve had this sitting on my computer for a couple days and it’s time to clear the desk.
First confounded then allured by pre-Raphaelite art…
…I have just wasted some time trying to read Charles Kingsley’s Hypatia, upon which this painting of the pagan, Greek philosopher, by Charles Williams [...]

“Redwall” is a children’s book about mice and other animals at war with rats. Marty spent quite a while this past winter reading “Redwall” to H.o.p. at night. This past weekend H.o.p. got the “Redwall” TV series (first part) from Netflix.
This is the state of conversation around here.
Marty: They got it all [...]
