cool runnings

Cool Runnings is a good movie to watch. John Candy does a good job as usual. The movie is directed very well, with each scene smoothly clicking into place in the overall scheme of things. All characters' roles are well done, meaning any scene featuring anyone in the movie, be it the people watching t.v in the bar or the spectators at the race or the kid writing scores or the people in offices laughing their heads off, the extras don't have cliche roles put in to paint the lead character, they have parts that paint the story and this is what makes the difference. Of course, a good bit of glossing over the harshness and callousness of real life happens, which helps in a movie any day (if we wanted real-life, we'd go out to the market, eh).
I wonder why my movie rental store or the movie theatres so pathetically fail at the job of entertainment when Star Movies and HBO together make up for that failure ten times over.
The movie ends with the 'I can see clearly now the rain is gone' playing over credits and it is a good thing.

sleep quality :thunkbabble

I feel that sleep quality is linked to the feeling of accomplishment coming from the day's activities .
If you've worked on ten things, you'll feel less accomplishment points than if you've worked on three.
but, if you've worked HARD on ten things ,one at a time, then you'll get better sleep than if you've worked on three things by doing half an hour each and then switching.

walk-turn

a quick walk down memory lane, one wrong turn and you're back in your classroom of long ago. empty desks look at you as though it were only yesterday. it's hard to imagine yourself as a kid, but when you do, the memories so wipe out everything in your conscious and redraw the images. you now become a thin kid .it's easy to laugh, run and jump. your fat blob ass weighs you down and highlights this contrast.

what can you say for the giants of wisdom,skill and caring who have touched your life in beautiful ways , except be humble and extremely grateful for the good fortune when you think of the others who didn't get it.
I read 'The pilot for special missions' as a kid. It was book one in a two part book. the second was the flying carpet. Oh vetrogorsk, how can one fall in love with a city, but I did.lighthouses and the ship museum and all.
then comes adventures of captain's island. I still have the sketches i made of clippers but the books have been lost. hence I must resort to the net to find versions of them. btw, captain's island was by sofia profokieva.

Thank you , kind pirate, or should I say, resurrecter of the lost valuable ..

the pilot for special missions

edit: it's sofia prokofieva and not sofia profokieva

"The true spirit of conversation consists in building on another man's observation, not overturning it" - Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton

... meaning, when I say I've got a new hat, I do NOT want to hear about YOUR hat.

and for the pair of the day -
Man must be disappointed with the lesser things of life before he can comprehend the full value of the greater.
- Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton

Only those who have worn the crown of suffering can look upon that
wondrous light; and they, when they return, may not speak of it, or tell
the mystery they know.
