I was thinking about film today, as I do pretty often, wondering what I’d pick if I tried to come up with a combo list of slightly strange sci-fi movies including some post apocalyptic stuff.  Films I liked.  Films that had an impact on me… couldn’t forget scenes from them, made me think a bit… that sort of thing.  This is what I came up with…. in no particular order.

This guy is inspirational. If you don’t feel good after listening to this then I don’t know what could make you feel good. Besides which, after listening you might also want to tune into some classical music. This is a lovely talk.

The pups enjoy a day of shopping.

Totally hooked on this song right now.

I have decided I need to start posting a photo a day every day again over at image-ination. Try it for another year. I am just about to get my new camera. The Canon EOS 5D Mark II. I can’t believe it. Very excited. So to commemorate that great milestone in my photo taking life I am going to, as I said, re-commit to doing the photo a day thing.

Let me explain the photo a day concept as I mean it for this blog. I will try to take a new photo every day, but when I can’t I will try to post something I’ve already taken. We’ll see how it goes.

I’ve decided to leave this post up at the top for awhile.  WordPress calls this a sticky post.  I guess because it’s now stuck to the top.

About this widget… As National Geographic puts it, “Check back weekdays to see photo editor Susan Welchman’s daily selections. From the Daily Dozen, a selection of photos will be published monthly in National Geographic magazine.”  There’s some pretty awesome work here.  To avoid this, if you’d like, and just get to stuff I’ve posted, scroll down below this post.  I’d advise you to take a look though… you will be touched and inspired.

It’s almost five o’clock and time to go home. Woo hoo! This has been a long week. L-O-N-G. I’m tired and ready to hang at home, watch a movie, enjoy a snuggle with my sweetie and our pups.

This is totally amazing and inspiring. Watch and be totally stunned by the skill of this guy. Wow.

Apparently, after reading over what I’ve posted today and then scrolling down a bit, I posted stuff about the Children’s Fair and our trip up to Centralia earlier.  Ah well… age.  It’s a lovely thing.  At least I posted different photos.  No need to look at the same old ones.  bah ha ha ha!!  I make myself laugh.
