Something About Nothing..........#11

[schumigirl]

LOVE The Shining...Especially the music. The opening piece is awesome..(Berlioz, me thinks..maybe not..) Too bad Jack's a Lakers fan.

Yep I'm sure it's Berlioz......I think it's the same music they play on Sleeping with the Enemy when her husband gets all nasty on her.........very strong piece of music.

The opening scene was new to me, as I said I had never watched it right from the start, not sure why actually as I've seen it a fair few times but usually from when his family arrive at the hotel and everyone leaves..............spectacular scenery though

Good ole Timberline Lodge at Mt. Hood Oregon...beautiful indeed!

I'm trying to get over this damn cold and allergies that I've been stuck with for a week! Finally feeling better though.

It is indeed beautiful, I only looked it up the other day to see where the outside scenes were filmed. I remember being disappointed when I found out all inside scenes were filmed at a soundstage in Elstree London.

Glad you're feeling better

Carole, have you seen Room 237? It's a documentary about possible themes/ideas Kubrick was really trying to tell in The Shining (since it was so drastically different from the book). It's odd but really thought provoking. I've watched it twice already lol

I haven't saw that documentary, but I have watched loads of them about the fake moon landings and read a couple of things about Kubrick/Shining connection....yep it fascinates me too.........I'll look out for that one

Evening all............

Quiet on here

Hope everyone's doing good

Hi

Spent my so called day off clearing the debris that winter left in the backyard... I think I want to cut down all the 30 something oak trees so I never have to rake another leaf or pick up any more limbs...ever. I can tell how out of shape I am as I"m so tired my teeth are chattering

Hope everyone has a great weekend

Hugs and prayers for mac and family

 

[glocon]

Mac-my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. It is draining to watch a loved one suffer so I will think of you often.

Remember-you have many people here on the DIS that care about you and will be praying for you and yours.

 

[keishashadow]

Any other time-change zombies out there today? all the coffee in the world isn't going to right me today lol

todd yuck, not looking forward to the start of the season here one bit.

 

[Kogo Shuko]

There is still snow up here. Make it go away.

The time change hasn't messed too much with me. Except DBFs son woke us up at 7:30 but it felt like 6:30 yesterday. Bleh. I had a hard time falling asleep last night though.

My aunt passed away this morning. Now comes the time where my family does weird things like speed up the process. My mother even said the funeral might be TOMORROW!

 

[Lynne G]

Keisha, yeah, getting up at 5:30 this morning wasn't the best. It really feels like Monday, so where's that camel again?

Kogo, sorry to hear of your Aunt. I like fast funerals. I think it helps in the grieving process.

Hope Mac is doing ok. Still saying prayers for her family.

I wish the sun would come out. It's been a dull day so far. And because of a transformer blowout, most of the traffic lights around where I work, and all the houses, are out of power. It was playing chicken in the busy intersections.

Happy Monday All! :

 

[keishashadow]

Lynne - Camel is probably still sleeping. I couldn't fall asleep last night, grrr. Least I know i'll crash early tonight. Only thing on schedule today is apt to get blonde and even that sounds taxing.

sunny here today. we had one of those inversions where it was so hazy all day Saturday. Looked like those pictures you see as to crappy air quality in China. it did blow over yesterday, beautiful day.

I haven't heard from mac in over a week, anybody else?

kogo - very sorry for your loss.

 

[schumigirl]

Kogo.....so sorry about your aunt passing. Yes quick funerals are best I always think. When my dad died early hours on the Tuesday we cremated him on the Friday. Sounds bad but we were all a bit relieved it didn't drag out.

Janet, I haven't had a reply from my last email which was Friday or Saturday, last one I received was the 4th.......hope she's ok.



We are having the most beautiful weather and it's to be like this for around 2 weeks ......beautiful blue skies and we can see the sun!!! Lighter jacket time....yay

Our clocks don't go forward till the 29th of this month then it's our Mother's Day on the 30th. I hate losing the hour but it's nice having lighter nights again.

 

[Kogo Shuko]

My mother was way off on what is happening.

My aunt will have a wake Saturday evening, and two more on Sunday, with the funeral on Monday.

We suspect the church may have coerced the family into doing it. They went to the church before the funeral home.

Kogo...So sorry for your loss. Prayers-n-hugz to y'all.

I see your ticker sez your heading our way! Wassup with that?...You just wanting some cheap, warm weather...(as opposed to Orlando's OVERPRICED warm weather?)

Heading to a wedding in Houston!

Definitely planning on enjoying the warm weather, and maybe even a day trip to a beach. And horsies. I'm hoping trail riding near Houston is better than near Orlando (I ride as a hobby at home).

Thank you everyone for the kind thoughts. Everyone seems to be taking it well, but we did have a long time to get used to the idea.

carole - still no word here .

spent the afternoon outdoors, almost 70 degrees, supposed to snow tomorrow night but enjoying the break 'fer sure.

So last week my stepmom texted me saying she found 2 $200 savings bonds in my name that had matured and was going to mail them to me along with a $200 check on a dormant acct she got notified on. So now I have this money I have to just sit on till may and it's frustrating!! I'm not good at having money laying around. I want to spend it!! lol I already booked my shuttle to the Cabana Bay (getting a ride from my CM friend to pop then ME back to MCO). And bought the early bird thing on my flight home (last couple trips I kept forgetting to check in at 24 hours, so I mainly got it for that). So now I just have to wait. 60 days left!!

 

[Mikkimús]

Booked HRH today
Unfortunately I accidentally booked a 1 day park to park ticket in stead of 3 day pass.
Trying to book through a vacation packet on the universal page is as easy at it seams.
Will have to change this
