Indian Jones

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was released last year. So it has taken me a while to watch it. It was your typical Indiana Jones movie but it was fun. If you need a fun movie to watch where you laugh and jump (I don't try to anticipate a movie) then I hope you enjoy

Proof

Proof has been on my list for a couple of years. I love movies with Anthony Hopkins in them. I tend not to read reviews and while I may say some thing about seeing a movie, it is based on my opinions which may not be yours.

In this case, I was not thrilled by this movie. Actually I did not like it. There were some good parts but they were few.

Miss Potter

When I saw that this movie about Beatrix Potter what going to be released, I couldn't wait to see it. Life likes to make sure you are awake and when it was released in January of 2007, I could never make the time to go.

This movie covers the publishing of "The Tale of Peter Rabbit" as well as the other characters. Additionally it looks at her struggle for love, happiness and success. She was a very strong woman and gave England a very beautiful area of its country that she help to save -- the Lake District.

Wonderful movie.

Rumbling of the pipes

One of my loves in this world is the pipe organ. I love to hear them and feel their vibrations in the air. I have been waiting for this concert all season. Flagstaff Symphony orchestra played the Concerto for Organ, Strings and Timpani in G minor by Francis Poulenc. While I am not normally a fan of dissonant chords, it was just nice to hear the organ. I wish they would play it more often.

The concert was rounded out by Serenade for Winds in E Flat Major, Op. 7 by Richard Strauss and Symphony #2 in D Major, Op. 73 by Johannes Brahms. The Brahms symphony is the favorite of one of my friends. He said he loved it. Brahms has this weird effect on me...99% of the time, I fall asleep. This time I didn't but the lady next to me snored. :-)

The wonderance of life

Yesterday was one of those difficult days for me. One of my friends is in ICU fighting for her life against pneumonia. She has already fought this little bug while going through chemotheraphy two years ago. Now the bastard is back. An oscillating ventilator is helping to save her life but in some ways I am not sure how it works. She is a fighter.

She is in my prayers tonight.

A little bit...

Part of being sane, is being a little bit crazy.
