Can't I Get A Break- Project 365 Day 5 ((tag:project365)

Posted by Sean on January 5, 2010

So these are pictures of my driveway. The first is the tire treads. 24 hrs
ago a friend of ours plowed that driveway darnit! Now there seems to be
another couple of inches of snow.
Did I mention how futile shoveling was?
The second is a (horrible) picture of our front steps. As you can tell the
snow has disguised what should be a step.
*sigh*

Isn’t it amazing how the weather dictates your day?

My World – Project 365 Day 4

Posted by Sean on January 4, 2010

This is the world I live in. Somehow the cities I live in can’t keep up with
plowing the roads? I’m stuck with driving down a road that only had a path
worn down by other drivers – therefore unless I fell like living dangerously
and pass someone in the non-plowed snow, I get to travel at the speed of the
car in front of me.

*sigh*

I miss the beach.

Avatar – Modern Day ‘Fern Gully’??

Posted by Sean on January 3, 2010

I of course keep talking about Avatar, we saw it in 3D yesterday. It was awesome, the visual effects are just mind boggling. The storyline just struck me as familiar. Boy sent to destroy forest. Find’s out forest has ‘people’. Forest people are ‘special’. Forest people have special ‘bond’ and relationship to forest. Boy meets forest people girl. Boy and girl fall for each other. Boy helps girl, changes sides, fights to keep forest alive.

Hmm..

It’s a far stretch.. but for anyone who was around for this flick back in the early 90’s – this synopsis has A LOT of similarities to the cartoon-made-movie ‘Fern Gully’?

Yeah, yeah.. I know one is an animated cartoon.. and one is the kick-ass CGI generated human-like phenomena, but think about it. In the end.. it’s all about saving the forest people, and preserving the ‘forest’.

Hmm..

This is just how my mind works. Sorry. Raised Eyebrow

I decided to try and ‘clean up’ my computer desk by buying an organizer for
all my ‘shtuff’.
Let’s hope it works out.

Avatar 3D! Project 365 Day 2

Posted by Sean on January 2, 2010

This. Movie. Was. Awesome! Everything from the special effects, the story line, the wicked CGI… And did I mention 3D!!!
Wholly cow! I haven’t seen a 3D movie since I was a kid when I saw Jaws 3!
My poor wife actually did not like it (go figure)? She took one for the team. Dinner was the only way she’d go. She’s such a trooper. I love her. Did anyone notice the similarities between Avatar and ‘Fern Gully’ – an 80′s cartoon flick?

Two thumbs up people. Two thumbs up. Sent from my Verizon BlackBerry
