RITA'S CXLVI: They Tell Me Revenge is Sweet and From Where They Stand I’m Sure it is

Food porn thread is updated, for those who don't venture outside Rita's. New mushroom experiments.

No no. Not THOSE kinds of mushrooms!!

Damn.


Before relating a recent story time interchange I need to make sure everyone knows that while I like kids, I like them like dogs...as long as they are someone else's and they go away after a short time. That said, I had one of the cutest experiences with a two year old girl. It was her first ever story time and she came with grandma, not as shy as most little ones and willing to sit on her own and participate in the stories and songs. After the story time we do crafts, today was making rain sticks - paper towel tubes the kids decorate with markers and then we seal an end, scoop in some dried beans, rice, and pasta, and then seal up. Shaken gently it sounds sort of like rain on a roof, shaken vigorously, like a storm. The little girl was being resistant to adding the beans et al and grandma said she liked to do things herself. I sat on the floor next to her with a bowl of beans and pasta and held one up to her and motioned dropping it in to the tube, she very carefully picked the bean out of my fingers and dropped it in; when we got to the fourth bean she looked at me and said "four", I agreed and in it went, we then counted for a while until she said "all" so all went in at once and we sealed the tube. She then went around to everyone in the building, showing them her stick. At the end of the program she came up to me unprompted and said "thank you". What a cool little girl (normally I make connections with little boys but this little one was fun).

So I have very specific and boring opinions about Hans Zimmer (movie composer), but I watched Inception again recently, and it may be noticeable in my latest effort, Logic-Pro's Space Designer Reverb is lot's of fun - https://***************/joeclark168/sort-of-epic

Next task- Ask her - "What is the Colour?" (hint - the answer is blue, then ask what the game is)

That's what it's like having your own kids. Adorable moments like that every fucking day. Mixed with wild stuff them in the oven moments.

we will always have Stamford Bridge.

My youngest niece was 3 and a bit months over Xmas, I found myself asking - "Let's have a go on her" like holding a baby for a few minutes to a toke off a spliff or something.

[Spike-X]

"Hey, readers! You enjoying this weird, futuristic intrigue with the Descendants and Ant-Man maybe being a traitor and Hawkeye pissing everybody off? Well, FUCK YOU, here's three issues of some boring bullshit about the Kree!"

Exactly. I wish the issue after that had started with, "Now, where were we before we were so rudely interrupted?"

I am digging a lot of Marvel's comics lately, but the constant interruption from the Big Events gets really tiresome. Marvel Now is just getting into full swing, and now that's gonna be interrupted by Age Of Ultron, something that was written and drawn two years ago, and which they're going to try and shoehorn into current continuity however they can.

Still, Bryan Hitch art...

I'm don't think he should draw mainstream superhero comics.

[Spike-X]

Until I get the Internet back, all I have is my phone and 3G. I can't do or see much on it. It doesn't matter. I'm never going to good enough for here. I always feel like an outsider, a stupid hanger on, trying desperately to regain the intelligence and fun I once thought I shared. I don't know if it's because that head injury did something to my brain that's made me this stupid or what. No matter what I do, if I talk about anything, I feel like some kind of worthless copycat. Oh look at her trying to have a normal conversation with us... It doesn't matter if I talk about my cats because I'm just a copy. It doesn't matter what I talk about. Nothing.

All that's just in your head.

[Spike-X]

Why is that?

[jesse_custer]

Has anyone seen Moonrise Kingdom?

Wes Anderson is really starting to put himself in rare company with his work.

[Spike-X]

It will be trying to find things on Monday and Tuesday. I'll still be an outsider because I'll be just that right amount of different that makes people uncomfortable because I say shit everyone is thinking. I don't care about common denominator tv shows.

I feel like I'm out of phase with existence.

Now that, I can relate to.

[Spike-X]

Damn.

Kids. They have their moments.

No, but I really really want to. Maybe this weekend.

[jesse_custer]

No, but I really really want to. Maybe this weekend.

I don't know where I would rank it in Anderson's filmography, but I liked it a good bit. My wife enjoyed it, too. Just as a side note, I can't stand Edward Norton, but I thought he was very good in this movie.
