REALITY?: Meet the Fokkers

Posted on April 21, 2006 by Susan

Just got back from dinner and a movie at the neighbor’s house.  Enjoyed the movie, needed a good laugh.  Good cast, and the plot was controlled slapstick which was sophisticated and detailed.  We don’t go out to the movies much, … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Haven’t been as active a poster here lately, where once I was prolific.  There is good reason however.  I have been playing with Flash 8 so that I can present some fiction in a multimedia manner.  Rewriting two stories that … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Between the deviled eggs and the coconut custard pie I’ve been working on Macromedia Flash 8 and was finally able to make a title text move and shake.  Nope, I don’t know how to link to it here yet, plus … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Happy Easter.  No strings attached. I came across a holiday greeting on a weblog this morning that’s started to eat away at me: Happy Easter, to those of you who still celebrate it. Still?  Is there a reason implied here … Continue reading → Continue reading →

LITERATURE: Lord of the Rings

Posted on April 15, 2006 by Susan

Holy Moley, this is neat!  An army of horsemen galloping down a 45 degree angle mountain.  Then the tree folk get into battle and they’re just kind of walking on and squishing the bad guys.  I love it! Continue reading →

LITERATURE: Reading

Posted on April 15, 2006 by Susan

Tempting, so tempting: My amazon.com cart overfloweth with $180’s worth of literary ecstacy.  Anticipation argues with frugality in my mind; the need to read with nightmares of the last nine months.  Scrolling back and forth, up and down the list … Continue reading → Continue reading →
