Color Inspiration

I watched this movie last weekend: The Merry Gentleman. I thought it was quite good. But what really struck me was the feel that the background colors lent to the movie. The colors were just gorgeous... lots of grays, blue-greens, blue-grays, green-grays. Moody colors for a moody movie.

Mmmmmmm... I love these colors.

Busy! Busy!

Here is a adorable photo of my pup to keep you occupied until I have something better:

The dream shall never die...

When I was getting my car fixed a few weeks ago, I read Ted Kennedy's article in Newsweek about health care reform and nearly started crying. Right there, in an auto shop waiting room.

People say a lot of things about the Kennedy family but one thing nobody can deny is that they served America. They didn't have to. They were rich. They could have sat on their asses, propped flags up on their porches, bitched about taxes & called themselves "real Americans" (seems to be the litmus test lately). But they didn't. After every tragic event, they could have retreated... but they didn't. They evolved, they compromised, they got shit done. A good portion of them still go into public service or work to improve the lives of a great number of people in other ways. And you don't have to agree with any of them to admire that.

Some people would be happy if America goes backwards instead of forward... and that is just sad. Sure, change is scary. But an inability to evolve never ends well. And personally, I just don't get it.

(sigh)

RIP, Senator Kennedy...

Ha!

Oh, I know it's politics but this quote from Spencer Ackerman just sums up my feelings on Sarah Palin's resignation so well that I had to post it somewhere:

I feel insulted by the idea that I have to take such a transparent maneuver concocted by a Coen Brothers' third-tier character as an actual political event.
