Adrift
In my previous blog I had a post where I said I’d lost my voice. I didn’t know what it was like until now though. I just thought I had lost my voice. Right now I’m adrift about what to do with this thing.
My previous blog was lost in a database accident. Partly carelessness, and partly I’m not sure why. There are still files on dreamhost I can’t delete for some reason so I suspect it really was broken before I got to it.
So, someone once said that a writer who doesn’t write can’t call himself a writer. So, I’m writing. It won’t be as on target as it was before. I’ve got to re-establish both the writing and the blogging habit. Please suffer through this with me as I do. I appreciate your patience and understanding. It was a bigger blow than I thought it would be to lose my blog.
came out yesterday and I *ahem* managed to wind up at one of my locations that was within a few blocks of Borders so I picked up a copy and read half last night and half today. It was as good as the first three were and it made me want to go find him and beg the next chapter off the author. If you’ve any interest in Greek Mythology, adventure stories, or any of the Harry Potter books this series is a great one. With summer coming up and kids getting out of school I recommend the whole series as a great summer read. There’s talk of a movie being made. But for now… I just want the next book to come out.
Last weekend I was a statistic and went to see the movie Ironman. I really liked it. It’s getting rave reviews and I was one of the ravers with one caveat. If it’d had ten minutes less establishing shots of him building the armor and one additional fight I’d have liked it much much more. It had some violence in it. It’s a comic book super-hero movie, how could it not? But in the way of comics of yesterday the violence was pretty much off screen. Explosions happened, but no body parts flew, the smoke and fire hid the ppl. There was a flame thrower scene, but everybody ran around on fire and it didn’t really show them. The FEEL of a classic comic was very much captured. I certainly recommend it for a matinee. The next movie I’m looking forward to is Speed Racer, and then, of course, the new Indiana Jones movie. I had a 9th grader at a friend’s house indicate Harrison Ford in the trailer and ask me if I’d ever seen him in a movie before because he was pretty good. *sigh* Kids today! Darned whippersnappers!
