I bought this a few years ago at FYE. This is a 

King Leonidas Resin Mini Bust by NECA. I also

have another of him but he has his helmet on. I need

to get a picture of that guy. Gerard Butler played

King Leonidas in the movie "300" (2006) That movie

was full of bad-assery and 14-pack abs.

I bought "The Homesman" on DVD. It is a total blind

buy. I did watch it. it stars Tommy Lee Jones and Hillary

Swank. The movie is set in the Nebraska frontier of 1854,

and man, at times it is very not pretty. One or two things

happened that I just did not see coming and it was...

I can see myself watching this movie again in a year or two.

C'mon man. Pack it in, pack it out.

In other news, I will be coming into many dollars soon.

This here is a test. I am trying a new way of doing things

because blogger is doing something weird. It's all good.

As they say, it may not be the easy way, but

it's the cowboy way.

I took this picture of some sort of a plant growing

on the side of a Quonset hut a few years ago. I was

going to use it as a wallpaper on my computer or

something. Never did.

The T-Shirt Warehouse has thousands of shirts. Five shirts

for ten dollars and the like. But a lot of them are really thin.

I think this is a fuse box.

I could never spend much time in a bird's nest.

Just too gross.

I bought Oculus. The price dropped way down.

I've heard it might be good.

"Howdee hey", says the twenty-four year old bendy

giraffe souvenir from the Los Angeles Zoo.

He also says, "Please excuse the dust on
my ossicones."

I remember seeing the trailer for "Flight" in the

theater and I had no interest in seeing it at all.

None. Zip. But I happened to catch a bit of it on

TV the other day and it looked pretty good. As

it turns out it deals with an issue or two that

are close to my heart, so I picked it up and

I will watch it soon.

--------------------------------------------------------------

 ...later on.
I did watch this. Some folks say that this movie is not good. I
thought it was. But it was hard to watch in some places. It
deals with alcoholism (something that I did not know
until I saw that little bit on TV) and the subject can be very
difficult. "Flight" kind of wore me out. It is worth seeing.
Denzel is always good.

I like rural.

 

Do you ever misspell a word on purpose to see

if SpellCheck is really working? Yeah, me too.

"If you spring me from this cell, I swear on pain of death,

I shall take you to the Black Pearl and your bonnie lass.

Do we have an accord?" 

 

This is my Capt. Jack Sparrow 6.5" NECA Mini Bust.

It is limited to 2500 pieces and is made of hand painted

resin. I bought this some six or so years ago clearance

priced for about ten dollars.

Random "down in town" picture.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...

...somebody is pitchin' some woo.

Some nice boy or girl has left a treat to

be discovered by their sweetie.

"The best chicken soup in town."

I have never had it.

I would be more about any possible enchiladas.

I bought "It Follows" on DVD. I watched it.

I will be called ignorant in some circles for

writing this, but I say if you want to see this

movie, wait until it hits the five dollar bin. If

I say why I will spoil the movie for you.

This is the much loved totem pole that my son gave

to me for Christmas some six or seven years ago.

Much to my dismay and over my protests I was

outvoted a month or so ago and it was moved outside. 

"Stuff don't last very long out there!", I exclaimed.

I was assured that it would be okay.

 

And I guess it would have been if there were no

critters of one sort or another running around

and bumping into things during the night.

We've had some nice days for being outdoors

and cooking up a few hot dogs and some beans.

Onions and mustard. That's all I need.

Suits me down to the ground.

I bought "ex machina" (pronounced "ex MA-kee-na").

This is a movie that left me thinking about it for a while. I say

give it a watch for sure. I read other folks thoughts about this movie

after watching it and that made the movie even better for me.

I'm gonna watch it again.

Have you ever had any experience with a "machine" that resembles

a human or an animal? It is going to change things. It is going to bring

out the best and the worst in people.

Cool "Monster" decal.

Waste not, want not.

As it turns out, my Serta Sheep has a fondness for

card games. And he is good, real good.
