still spinning through the clouds

howdy howdy

so that last post was pretty religious huh? I do my best to be even steven and not step on anyones toes but it rarely works. Today I am currently applying for jobs and posted my personal blogspace in one of my email replies because one of the requirements of the job is to maintain a company blog, so I was showing them that I maintain a blog. After I sent the email, it dawned on me that the content of my blog tends to be personal or religious and often both. I didn't even think of that. regardless of where they stand, I'm bound to offend someone! ha! I like pondering the big questions, and lately, I have been pondering some mighty big questions. It is what it is I suppose. I am human, and I have thoughts, and here they are. My professional blog is much more 'edited' for content, as the idea is to have complete strangers reading it. Most of my audience here is made up of friends.

I do intend to post a "whats happening these days" blog soon, but I have to put some thought into what I will say first.

I saw a trailer for a film called "I'm Not Here" which is a series of vignettes with several well known actors playing Bob Dylan in a scenes from his life, from real events to falsehood and sometimes even absurdity. I watched a couple of pieces of it, and it was really interesting. Cate Blanchett does one of the vignettes, and she does a startlingly good Dylan, in my opinion. The film may be an oddity and who knows if it will be any good or not, but it comes from acclaimed filmmaker Todd Haynes. The Wikipedia entry for the film is HERE.

I also saw the new film "The Darjeeling Express" and I can only say that the film is brilliant, moving and another notch on the belt of acclaimed filmmaker Wes Anderson, whose earlier films Rushmore, The Royal Tannenbaum's and the bizarre but likable The Life Aquatic with Steve Zizzou stretch the boundaries of thought and sensibility in quirky independent film, although I've heard Wes declare that he doesn't see himself as quirky. and who does, right?

The website I've been working on with my erstwhile partner in crime Kevin Distad Frivolous Living will be up in some sort of time. Our very own review site/blog where we rip apart..er.. review things we like and dislike, and eventually branch that out on a nationwide basis. It's going to an interesting journey.

and that.. is the news from lake scott b gone.

more..later....
