had over 1,200 entries and that was getting close to full. I don't want to trim it by deletion. I did that once, much to my dismay. Will be used more for poetry.
Watt's Gnus (18+) On topics and today's gnus. Definitely opinionated. Set to 18+ for a reason. #1439092 by Kåre เลียม Enga
come out of a need to share interesting stuff I come across. When I was young I did a small newsletter named as such. (or was it column in the newsletter? Been 30 years... I think.)
is where I put my flash fictions. Maybe someday I'll figure it out and have enough good ones to publish. Ratings vary and some are hidden from view.
I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.

is for posting personal blog entries in hope that folks will comment and post their blog entries there as well. I will be commenting on all blog entries posted. It's my effort to rebuild a blogging community.
Lots of things checked . That's good, right? Or did you just list those checked? Doesn't matter. Sounds like reasonably good trip. Relax now and recover.
At least the Lions made it forward. The first time since 1991.
It was a winter 80 here with cool shadows. Started with rain by the shore that washed out to sea. The sun tried to dodge the clouds all day, but it was a losing battle. Did flash green as it ducked goodbye heading your way.
SandraLynn You capture the purpose of this blog. Balance is elusive for me. If I'm depressed I can see my accomplishments. If I'm smug I can see the pain. If I think I haven't lived... I must admit that I once was alive.
Ah, this is life, the mundane mixed with moments of wonder. We need to eat so ,we think about it, prepare for it, do it. We need to socialize so, we seek it out wherever we can find it. Sometimes, we need to wander without any goals or purpose. We observe. We marvel. We breathe. Not everything requires scheduling.
I really like that poem (never read it before). I should write something in that style myself.
I've avoided the prompt because I wasn't inspired by it. But a poem? Hmm.
I think of two short stories that were made into films. "Lottery" which should've been a 30 minute "Twilight Zone" and "Brokeback Mountain" that would've been great if limited to 1 hour.
I could add "Goblet of Fire" that should've been maybe 2 or 3 movies as it did NOT adequately explore the relationships portrayed in the book. Skip the movie, read the book. As for Book 5 that followed? Watch the movie, skip the tedious boring book. Book and movie 6 were both good. Dividing Book 7 into two movies was brilliant.
Some books are not meant to be movies.
Some movies are meant to be left as is. "Wizard of Oz" comes to mind. Theme-wise? Sure ... do spinoffs; some work. What is "West Side Story" if not "Romeo and Juliet"?
Personally I have little interest in doing so but taking an unknown author with a great story makes more sense to me than destroying a great book with a mediocre or inappropriate adaptation.
I would have asked my vamps but I didn't want to hear everything wrong with "Twilight" and "Dracula". They're a bit techy about both of those.
Speaking of which ... minority and marginal groups are finally producing their own movies based on real-life fictionalized situations that mainstream audiences and the Great White Suburbs have ignored. Truly inspiring. I remember watching "Tangerine" which was filmed on an i-pad... we need more and diverse voices.
PROMPT July 23rd: You've been given a full budget and creative license to bring a book you read to film. What book would you pick and who would you cast as the characters? If you choose a book with an existing movie adaptation, what changes would you make?
