We'll see what happens, though...<br /><br />Sherlock Holmes<br />I dreaded roll call, especially with substitute teachers. After a while the regular teacher would pick up on my insisted nickname, even my classmates, though merciless for a while, rolled their eyes with me whenever a sub got to my name.<br />"Holmes, Sherlock... oh my! What a name!"<br />If you can help it, try not to have parents who are librarians, mystery aficionados, or unnervingly booky people with the same last name as a famous character. You are bound to sharing that character's name, whether you like it or not.<br />- - - - -<br />not my strongest, but ah well. It's practice, is it not?g2 (la pianista irlandesa)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11746312007846172620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149217012399643733.post-19532020217747501222010-02-01T15:13:34.283-08:002010-02-01T15:13:34.283-08:00Well, I hope your Movie Prompt doesn't have to...Well, I hope your Movie Prompt doesn't have to be a movie you saw in the theater, because I can't remember the last time I went to an actual movie, but did watch something on DVD with the kids...hope it counts.<br /><br />UP!<br />Up, up and away,<br />I want to fly,<br />to sail in the clouds,<br />to be free today.<br /><br />Up, up and away,<br />footloose and fancy,<br />free to be me,<br />just for this one day.<br /><br />Up, up and way,<br />I can sing it all I want,<br />but it was not to be,<br />not even for this day.<br /><br />Up, up and away,<br />a dream unreached,<br />so I will write again<br />and finish this day.TAMmommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06976296488407491090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149217012399643733.post-6341832622795666952010-02-01T12:29:00.034-08:002010-02-01T12:29:00.034-08:00I've not seen Avatar yet, though we're goi...I've not seen Avatar yet, though we're going to try and see it before it leaves the cinema. I believe it's one of the highest grossing films to date.<br /><br />I like your poem, it's a great little commentary on online relationships! I particularly like the last line of each verse.<br /><br />The last film I saw was on television, called Sunshine, directed by Danny Boyle.<br /><br />Sunshine<br /><br />Break the shadow.<br />It flexes, it is stretchier <br />Than any of us thought,<br />But still it breaks.<br />It fractures like a thousand-year egg<br />And its heart, yellow as yolk,<br />Spills out.<br />It floods the air, suffusing us,<br />Brilliant sunshine.<br />It is surely the brightness<br />Of the eternal mind.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08503319830584828982noreply@blogger.com
