  • Hard News: A few (more) words on The Hobbit,

    Aronofsky sounds like a complete tool. And producers and actors fell for this tosh as well. But I saw this: Can we accept that politicians, CEO’s, celebrities, and perhaps people in almost any walk of life can achieve many things and still be twits with really poor judgment and fundamentally flawed understanding of the world around them (AKA Stupid).
    And it made sense.

    I can see how that would resonate with you...

    That Tool Aronofsky has a lot to offer and has made some fine movies, including Pi (can't find the symbol on my keyboard), the Wrestler and Black Swan.

    I hope your year picks up.

    what no limned Rick,
    nor Frank N. ...
    nor Beer...

    ...odd that Gertrude's last name means Stone
    but it's Alice's cookies that get you there!
    a joint effort perhaps?

    watch those diary products...

    She had an amanuensis

    I think they prefer to be called personal assistants.

    PA could stand for Philosopher's Amanuensis...

    Though in this case...

    Came the deathbed scene – the amanuensis whispered “What is the answer?” The dying response was “What was the question?”

    ... it's probably a Black Bury...

  • Hard News: Floating the idea,

    I would imagine that any form of martial arts would be tremendous for making those body/brain connections....

    I hear Ballroom Dancing
    or becoming a cunning
    linguist helps too...
    ...I saw Wellington Councillor,
    John Morrison on telly, reacting to
    Mayor Celia Wade-Brown's suggestions
    - he can drop the Mystery nickname
    and go straight to Misery...

    spooky country...
    just like the "Marie and the Atom" link
    - it had just been posted the day before I went looking for it - here is a "chanced upon" link that combines Baby Boomers and our perceptions of reality...

  • Hard News: A few (more) words on The Hobbit,

    We are the dorks of perception...
    ...and reality is a product of our conscious state
    - and the limitations that that imposes,
    filtered and consensual...

    We are receivers tuned to
    the easy living channel,
    surfing the crest of time waves, among
    the froth obscuring the big picture...
    (I can't see infra red or hear ultrasound
    at a conscious level - but they still exist
    and affect us)

    I think that a Window into another Consciousness
    is a very apt description for observing
    other aspects of our various operating systems
    we just forgot how to code for them...

    Wonder if they’re anything like these dreaded amphibians.

    Wow! Blaxolotls!!

    Estonia’s statistics for 2010 seem to bear this hypothesis out.

    Flys like a brick
    sinks like Estonia...
