Well, as soon as Game of Thrones ended, I got slammed with a 5 day stretch at work. Managed to get through the UCLA riots... all I've been able to do is work and sleep and maybe get some food in the tank. That said, I have a night off!

I'm not completely through all my emails, but I was so happy to find this in my "Inbox!"

From The Angel Army Reviewer of the Month, APR 2024

Then I found a couple of Merit Badges:

and I was the #11 Reviewer for April on the site which just tickled me pink.

I'm in Game of Thrones withdrawls and I still need to decompress a little bit more, but BIG thanks to my teammates: iKïyå§ama-House Targaryen JACE Choconut ~ House Targaryen GERVIC 🐉 House Targaryen StaiNed-House Targaryen it was fun playing the game with you and I'd do it again. SHOUT OUT to Gaby ~ Keeper Of The Realm for Keeping the Realm because I know that couldn't have been easy.

Now I'm off to get an alcoholic drink and watch an episode of Shogun before I pass out. Tomorrow, I'll be back for a bit and then it's off to off to VEGAS for Bowling Sweepers with my Vegas bowling league. I'm hoping to read April's Bard's Hall entry, hang out at the Bee Hive and tidy it up for summer, as well as work on my Romance/Love NL for May!

Rest? *BigSmile* *Rolling*

Hear Ye - Hear Ye - A Proculmation from House Targaryen

Here are 10 MUST SEE movies from a Humble Bee's perspective:
Have you seen them?

Citadel Task #30


#1 - The Sound of Music
With rich visuals, great acting, and stirring music, this one is a classic.

#2 – Star Wars Part IV – A New Hope
Released in 1977 and set in a galaxy far, far, away, this movie was a big success. There’s action, adventure, and a hint of romance. The plot of the rebel alliance vs the empire is one that viewers can rally around.

#3 – Rise of the Planet of the Apes
This is the James Franco version and offers an honest “what-if” scenario that one can plausibility imagine could happen. Well scripted, with endearing characters, and stunning motion capture, this movie will make you think your choices and the dystopian nature of the future.

#4 – Kiss Me, Kate
This is a classic. Released in the 1950’s (I think!) or early 1960’s it’s a modern retelling of the Taming of the Shrew. It’s just a fun movie to watch and escape with for an afternoon.

#5 – Walk the Line
An honest, candid look at a moment time in time in Johnny Cash’s life. The acting is phenomenal in this movie. The topic matter is gritty and raw.

#6 - Braveheart
Masterful storytelling! Again, it’s another rebel vs the establishment movie as the Scots strive for independence against the British. It stirs the viewers' heartstrings with it’s look at friendship, honesty, love, and courage.

#7 - The Hunger Games
This is another dystopian look at the future. After we’ve nuked ourselves to the point the planet is a mess, 12 districts emerge. The divide between the rich and poor is wide. Katniss Everdeen rises as a true heroine .

#8 – Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
This is the first movie in the series. It sets up the protagonist, Harry Potter, a hero in training, because soon he’ll be in the thick of things when good has to confront evil. There’s laughs and tears and the audience will root for Harry until the end.

#9 – Hidden Figures
It is humbling – and rewarding - watching Katherine earn her co-workers’ respect.

#10 - Gattaca
Another dystopian “what-if” – What if you didn’t have the right genes? A look at the world if it chooses to go down the wrong path.

Hidden Figures was amazing. I am so glad they made that movie. It's shocking how Hollywood is the one picking up where schools are omitting important facts in history classes.
I've seen 3 and maybe part of a 4th of those movies. I like Star wars and harry potter.

I have seen braveheart but likly won't again. Generally any war movie. After having to watch Platoon, The Deer hunter and full metal jacket as well as braveheart in one year of high school I am kind of over war movies...

I may have seen the hunger games but I don't think it was the whole thing.

I'm sharing 2 structured poems called a "Villanelle."A VILLANELLE

This is a French form of poetry called the Villanelle.
This is a 19 line poem with the following rhyming scheme: aba, aba, aba, aba, aba, abaa
The 1st and 3rd lines are repeated in alternating order and appear together in the last two lines.

I enjoy writing Villanelles because of the rhyme scheme and repeating nature of the lines because it makes for rythmic beats when reading the poem outloud.

 Friendship  (E)
A villanelle poem about the importance of friendship.

I got most of them quickly. There were a couple I didn't know off the top of my head, but I figured them out by process of elimination. Even if I did have to double check the list so I was spelling them right.
I am lousy at Crossword Puzzles and I am still trying to learn the characters of this show. Good clues.
J.R. PETE - I'm proud of you!

~Webbie
ԜԜ On The Road Again! - Webbie -- yes book 2 will be avail Kindle and it's next in the rotation, but honestly, I can't start work on my edit until GOT is over. I am waiting for the Print version to get approved.

Would you like an autographed in print copy?
