28939. Ms. No - 2/19/2017 11:18:54 PM Keoni is so Zen. 28940. judithathome - 2/20/2017 12:03:08 AM You have NO idea....
Well, yes actually, you DO...why, after all, would he even need to KNOW the cat has jumped down from the window seat......HAR! 28941. judithathome - 2/20/2017 12:13:44 AM By the way...Keoni says "Hey!" and that you are lookin' good!
And he, like I, wanna know if you're coming this way any time soon? You know you have a place to stay and a great place to "dine" if you are in the neighborhood! 28942. Ms. No - 2/20/2017 8:39:53 PM Thanks, Keoni!
I have no idea when I'll get out Texas-way again. I really miss seeing you guys, though. This summer is heavy traveling for me to see family. I haven't been out to NC to see my dad in almost 3 years, so I'm going to swing down NC-way after Hoboken in July/Aug. The west-coast fam is meeting in Mazatlan for a big congruence of anniversaries and milestone birthdays in June.
I'll look into doing a multi-leg trip like I did last time I was out and see if I can manage it. 28943. Ms. No - 3/13/2017 2:06:37 AM Went to see Get Out with a friend last night -- excellent little film. Scary as shit, truly horrific, and the constant undercurrent of racial tension is spot-on political commentary. 28944. robertjayb - 3/19/2017 12:39:45 AM Roll Over Beethoven: Chuck Berry is dead at 90. 28945. arkymalarky - 3/23/2017 4:38:57 PM Robert! How is everything? We sure hope if you and your wife come back through you give us a holler and we can have lunch again. That was so much fun! 28946. arkymalarky - 3/23/2017 4:39:47 PM I want to see get out, but I'm afraid to see it. I don't generally do scary movies. I'm just too jumpy. I make an idiot out of myself. 28947. Ms. No - 3/24/2017 2:20:07 AM It's not supernatural scary; it's psychological/suspense scary.
No ghosts or serial killers or cats jumping out of cupboards or co-eds wandering around in the dark in their underwear.
I think you can handle it. 28948. arkymalarky - 3/24/2017 7:44:23 AM The supernatural stuff bothers me a lot less than the realistic stuff. Stuff that could really happen is what scares the crap out of me. And I can't stand Blood and Guts even in non scary movies. Is it very bloody? 28949. arkymalarky - 3/24/2017 7:46:31 AM And I'm not good with jump-scares. I don't enjoy them. 28950. arkymalarky - 3/24/2017 7:48:58 AM I love the Kill Bill movies and The Matrix movies but I still can't watch the bloody or vicious Parts. I just skip past those and watch the rest for the other things that make them great movies. 28951. Ms. No - 3/24/2017 4:45:04 PM No, it isn't particularly bloody. There is a little bit, but it's not something that stood out to me --- infinitely less than a Tarantino film -- and only a couple of jump scares that I recall. Mostly it's a pervasive feeling of something just isn't quite right.
Have you ever seen a French film called "With a Friend Like Harry?" Nothing really overt happens, but there's this building feeling of dread. I'm remembering something about a kitchen scene with an egg and nothing that you can point to as wrong, but you just know that it is. I'm thinking I need to go back and see this film again, now that I've mentioned it. 28952. arkymalarky - 3/24/2017 6:35:12 PM Thanks for the info! I usually have Mose give me my movie information, but since grandkid she hasn't been to a single movie.
And speaking of that, we just got back from our grandkid fix for spring break, and I'm ready to go back. I think I'm going to teach one more year, but man it's hard when you just want to play with grandkid and putter around your house and yard. 28953. arkymalarky - 3/24/2017 6:40:08 PM Oh, and I've never seen that movie, but I get what you're saying. one scary movie I did enjoy was mama. If I buy the premise I enjoy it, and if I don't I can't take it seriously, but whether it's scary or suspenseful my heart rate goes too fast to really like that. I still haven't seen Django Unchained, that's been on my DVR for year. Of course Mama wasn't rated R, so nothing was too bloody.
Another thing I hate is slime and it really irritates me that the advertisements for the movie life has that slimy thing going in his mouth or coming out of his mouth, I can't watch it long enough to see what it's doing. That's what bugged me most about the one Rob Zombie 2 minutes of a movie I accidentally watched on the way to somewhere else. It wasn't the blood and guts it was the Slime of the blood and guts. 28954. arkymalarky - 3/24/2017 6:41:52 PM Alien was so great, but even though I've seen it so many times I still can't watch where the alien jumps out of his chest. 28955. wabbit - 3/31/2017 11:19:00 PM omg, it's already 4/1 in NZ. 28956. judithathome - 3/31/2017 11:45:54 PM I know...April Fool!
At least they don't have to deal (directly, anyhow) with OUR biggest April Fool Joke...our alleged President. 28957. Ms. No - 4/3/2017 10:14:01 PM Just gave blood today for the first time ever! Super proud of myself --- I've always been terrified of it for one reason and another. I figured after having an arterial blood gas draw last year, however, that I could handle this, easy. 28958. judithathome - 4/3/2017 10:28:32 PM Keoni and I cannot give blood because we lived overseas (Japan) and they deem that as being we were "exposed to"...whatever, I can't recall...anyhow, when my mom was having hip replacement surgery, Keoni went to give blood and was not allowed to...I tried to do so and was denied for the same reason.
