CaMg(CO3)2

Futurama - if you dont watch it, you wont understand...




Calculon: "But now all I want is a peaceful life in a quiet villa overlooking a vineyard. With you."

Coilette: "Would we have donkeys?"

Calculon: "All you could eat."

I know I know, too much ABBA - but this is funny

Read the captions - I KNEW she was a total bitch....

ABBA / Olivia / Andy - Sing the Beach Boys - You ain't seen this before

Brilliant - Just before superstardom hit - well at least for some...

I LOVE it near the end when they ask Anni-Frid to sing some Opera and she says she only knows a little - Then they say "Oh, well sing that one you have been rehearsing for a week" - IF looks could kill - she is clearly a major bitch, he he. Oh and do you know why ABBA will never get back together?? The word is that Anni-Frid is the block, thinking it is beneath her now that she is - Her Serene Highness, Anni-Frid, Princess Reuss, Countess of Plauen - True gossip -

Andy Gibb and Olivia come across as truly NICE people - It's a shame about him... Drugs are bad.

The Sound of Music....

Captain von Trapp: It's the dress. You'll have to put on another one before you meet the children.

Maria: But I don't have another one. When we entered the abbey our worldly clothes were given to the poor.

Captain von Trapp: What about this one?

Maria: The poor didn't want this one.

R.I.P. = Arthur C. Clark

SAL-9000: Will I dream?
Dr. Chandra: Of course you will. All intelligent beings dream. Nobody knows why.

HAL-9000: Dr. Chandra, will I dream?
Dr. Chandra: I don't know.



All around average writer, genus and closet case homo - Arthur C. Clark
died this last weekend.... Read about him and learn.....


He wrote some good stuff and had some 'imaginative' ideas - more then just what most people know.

BTW - do you know what H.A.L stands for - hardly a threat now is it....?

Rare Deleted Scene - Dawns Hair

Even I myself, an EXPERT - had never seen it - this must be how they felt when they found the Dead Sea Scrolls -

For those of you who don't know - Female Trouble is a very very (very) important film - If one only saw two films in their entire lives this SHOULD be the first, and possibly the second.

How far that little candle throws its beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world

Genus Family - Greg likes (part two)

What is genus? I can remember seeing my first NC Wyeth illustration sometime before I was six years old - It was a painting done for "Treasure Island", it made an impression on me. Yea I know, what a smart kid - hardly. But that is what genus does - It makes a lasting impression even if you dont know why.



- His son is Andrew Wyeth and grandson is Jamie Wyeth - There is not a drawing or painting by any of these three men that I do not enjoy.

You should read about this family, You should enjoy their work - here are some.

I'll let you learn who did what and when, but they cover almost 100 years of painting - amazing.

Hallelujah

But you don't really care for music, do you?

Matronalia

Today is the Matronalia - If you did not know I HATE the winter and now March has arrived !! March 1st was the first day of the year in the ancient Roman (pre Julian) Calender - Today I feasted.
For the Matronalia (Matronales Feriae) Roman matrons and husbands honored the Juno Lucina aspect of Juno (Hera to the Greeks) by feasting on the 1st of March (the pre-Julian calendar's first of the year). In honor of Juno Lucina's temple foundation on the Esquiline, both matrons and husbands visited the temple, laid flower wreaths, and prayed for the protection of their marriages. Lambs and cattle were sacrificed to Juno Lucina, husbands gifted their wives, girls received presents from their lovers, and mistresses feasted their female slaves.
