Ahh yes. Peter O’Toole. What a fine fine actor. Can you believe he’s still working? Amazing. Isn’t he like 800 years old?

So now I must remember to get some of the classics into my Netflix queue. The Lion in Winter to start with, maybe. He and Katherine Hepburn are fantastic in that one.

Goodbye, Mr. Chips. Yes. They don’t make movies like that any more.

My Favorite Year. Definitely. “He’s plastered!”

Okay, so who wants to host a Peter O’Toole film festival? I’d do it, but I don’t even own a TV. I’ll bring the movies, beer, and chips.

I was talking to someone today who is very smart. And they said something along the lines of this:

“If you aren’t reaching your goals, you need to either change what you are doing, or change your goals.” The third option, of course, is to continue doing exactly what you’ve been doing, continuing to get the same result and, essentially, failing.

I thought about what they had said for a moment, and realized that I don’t really have goals. I just kind of bumble along, waiting to see what happens next. Or, as Piglet would say: “I wonder what’s going to happen exciting today.”

Which is fine, if what comes your way is enough. But it certainly limits your options, as opposed to going out and seeking things.

Let’s test this out and see if it will crosspost to Livejournal for me…

Oops. I started a post yesterday about going to see “Where the Wild Things Are”, and then got distracted and forgot it.

Let’s just say that it’s a good movie.

ETA: I’ve been thinking about it; and the best way I can describe why this movie is “good”, as opposed to bad or indifferent, is that the emotions were there throughout the film. It was a roller coaster of emotions throughout, and it never lost me or threw me off the tracks.

Just want to test a new toy. So here’s a bit of music for you.

This would be Too Much Joy singing “Gretzky Rocks”.

I could spend a month playing with all this Wordpress crap just to make everything look perfect. Or you know, I could be distracted by something shiny and leave it to rot slowly into oblivion. I suspect my Gemini nature will win out.

Welcome to Bogroll Babble.

I have a LiveJournal account, because that’s where everybody is. By “joining the crowd”, it’s easier for people to find me. But at the same time, it doesn’t feel like “my” space. I don’t have control.

So here’s my solution to that. Here I have control. It’s my domain, and I am the admin, and I can make things however I want them to be.
