The Hall of Fire

I am impatiently awaiting these kitten pictures I keep hearing about.

It distresses me that not responding to a post is interpreted as judging it harshly. Sometimes, particularly when a post is deep and heartfelt, I need to let it sink in. I need to think about how I want to respond rather than shooting off the first thing that comes to mind. (I read once that extrove...

I nominate nel for the Supremes.

Elen, I like the open-ended aspect of the song, which lets my imagination fill in the rest. To me it speaks of the all-too-human tendency to look the other way, and the effect that has on those who are in dire, even life-threatening circumstances. And it brings up all sorts of thoughts about the use...

This one gets me every time. By Stan Rogers...


Harris and the Mare

That video is hilarious.

Maybe Gollum's loincloth slips.

I sorta like your angsty behavior, Anthy. Makes me feel like I'm not the only one.

Even good 3D annoys me and tends to take me out of the movie, so I saw it in 2D and was perfectly immersed.

OK, hal. I'll talk specifics. Behind the Cone of Spoilers, of course. Responding in reverse order (which seems a Whovian thing to do): What I gathered, perhaps wrongly, about the John Hurt figure was that he was the Doctor -- part of the Doctor -- but the Doctor refused to acknowledge him because of...

I quite enjoyed it. No time to write more now, but I will say that Cumberbatch was terrific.

??????????

Of course, hal. Breathe, and don't borrow tomorrow's stress today.

I will pray for harmony and for God's best for all concerned. It's always sad to see a marriage dissolve, but sometimes it really is for the best.
