Crazy and contagious.
Illogical and irrational.
Where I can see it coming. If I can see crazy I can step aside. Let it roar past me like an amphetamine crazed trucker coming home unannounced to find Sancho holding his wife's ankles akimbo.
I'll take that before I ride captive in crazies back seat.
Catching the crazy over spray, from their crazy sneezes, blowing back in my face from their open crazy window.
Long after humans are instinct, anthropologists from some successive and unimaginable species, will find our fossil signature below a thin band of dumb fuck sediment wherever rocks formed in this age are exposed. Scratching their heads and wondering what catastrophe could be responsible for taking a thriving species to extinction in a few short years. The dumb fuck boundary.
Crazy people are dumb.
They are represented as crafty mind fuckers in Hollywood psychodramas, but take it from me, they are just plain old dumb fuckery dumb. I lived with two crazy people and it is unrelenting boredom.
It's a shake down from a five year old.
It's a neighbor watching with binoculars and scribbling illegible notes about your habits to report you for breaking laws that exist in their mind only.
Illogical tales.
Improbable stories spinning from a five year old that can't keep his lies straight. Writhing in his chair denying himself a piss for fear of missing out on the clever mind fucking drama he subjects you to.
Save it for someone else crazy person. I can get that kind of entertainment feeding popcorn to a mouse and analyzing the acoustical properties of it's farts.
So if you want.
Go sit by the person wrapped in yellow crazy crime tape.
You paid for your ride just like me.
But I'll be blending in at the back of the bus.
Next to Napoleon.

That's the Aquasharks pretty much complete. (I'm actually missing the smallest set)
Now I just need to collect the other factions…
Author Archives: Matt Roszak
Fanart: Jump Into Battle
Got some more cool fanart from Abaresque!
EBF5: Skills Menu
Hey guys, I'm almost done with the skill menus. These were a pain because of the huge amount of information that skills contain, and the skill menu was probably the worst part of the GUI in EBF4.
I think I managed to make things much cleaner this time, with skills neatly sorted by type, and the upgrade window clearly showing you exactly what is changing. Also there's no penalty for moving extra skills between players this time.
Fanart: Insanity
Here's some fanart from Abaresque.
I don't think this part actually happened in the games though.
Fanart: Anna
Got some cute fanart from Hanna-Diana-Magic.
EBF5: Map Playas
EBF5: Player Emoticons
Here's a huge reference sheet for all 150 player emoticons in Epic Battle Fantasy 5!
They're all numbered so I can easily use them while writing dialogue.
There's a bit more going on in there than just faces this time. Which ones are your favourites?
On my DeviantArt you can get a big .zip file of all of them in HD, to use for profile avatars or whatever!
Fanart: Anna Doll
Got some more fanart from Lost-Pyromaniac.
Fanart: Pixel Weapons
Here's a collection of EBF pixel art weapons by Nattorpedia.
EBF5: Forge Menu
I've finished the new forge menu!
A big addition is that captured foes must now be used to upgrade some equips!
(A fan suggested this a few days ago and I of course had to do it)
So not only are foes killed for food and items, they're also melted down (presumably while still alive) to be used as crafting materials.
Capturing tough monsters more than once would be a chore, so I'm sticking to easy/medium foes for this. Some NPCs will also ask for them in side-quests.
Another notable feature is that equips don't start with all of their special effects, so it's like EBF3 again. You'll have to upgrade stuff at least a little bit to see what it does.

Bought thin in January but started using this April. Does not read about 8 out of 10 discs - and they're all original movies. Extremely frustrating. I would have been better off buying one of the cheaper makes that do not take Bluray. Total waste of money.
Wietsche, South Africa. 20 April 2017
HLDS stands for Hitachi LG Data Storage. This is a quality brand and product. In fact, look at the LG only product, it's exactly the same thing but costs more. Works perfectly, ripped 6 BluRays as a test and to backup my movies and had not a single issue. Used VLC and Handbrake. Will never again buy an optical drive for a desktop or look for a laptop with one installed, this is more convenient. The bad review above was probably a defective unit that should have been tested imediately and returned, and not wait 4 months to test. Go read Consumer Tips for Dummies...

Storytelling is a community act that involves sharing knowledge and values. It's one of the most unifying elements of mankind, central to human existence, taking place in every known culture in the world. In the same way, presentations in all their many forms are never just about transferring information alone. We are emotional beings, like [...]
From customer interest to customer commitment
Do you inwardly cringe when your sales conversation is coming to an end and it's time to ask that closing question? Do you often avoid asking for the business? If you're like most sales people, the answer to both questions is "yes."
Why is closing so hard to do?
Part of the problem probably lies in the type of conversation we have with our customers. Too many salespeople go through the process assuming acceptance on the part of customers but without actually asking for commitments from them.
There is a very good reason to ask for a commitment. You see, you don't ask closing questions for your own benefit. You ask them for your customer's benefit. Verbalising their active acceptance cements a customer's commitment to the sales process and to the sale itself.
So how can you elicit more active commitments from your customer?
How to gain commitment
Time: The very first commitment you need from your dream client is the commitment of their time. Without gaining the commitment of time, you can't create an opportunity. This is why prospecting is the critical activity for sales professionals; prospecting is where this commitment is first gained. As you go through your sales process and help your dream client with their journey, you are going to need to ask for and gain commitment of their time.
Change: If your potential client isn't open to making a commitment to change, you don't have an opportunity. Without the commitment to change, you don't have a lead. It isn't your dream client's needs, it isn't their spending, and it isn't the value that you can create for them that makes an opportunity; it's their willingness to commit to change that makes an opportunity real.
Create value: Great salespeople know how to create value for the client on every sales encounter. They leverage this ability to link the value they create to future value creation and to obtain the commitment to create together that future value. I see lots of entrepreneurs put out amazing content in the social media every week but they don't give concrete solutions. They write thoughtful, useful newsletters and always give value. Yet they ask nothing in return. It's okay to say – "Here's some useful information, and if you want to take this further, here's how you work with me…" You may have noticed that at the end of every article, I invite you to book a seat at one of Maurice Kerrigan Africa's training courses – this is intentional.
Collaborate: Collaborative selling begins with a different mind-set: a commitment to the long-term. Today's customers buy differently, so today's salespeople must sell differently. Customers know there is no urgency to buy because good deals, good salespeople, and good companies come along every day. Price is less of an issue because buyers are not just interested in great deals, they want great relationships. Today's customers are looking for measurable quality in the products and services they buy. Collaborative selling allows the buyer to feel that he has "bought" – not that he has been "sold." Collaborative salespeople make it clear that they want to help, not just make a sale.
Gain consensus: All it takes is one dissenting stakeholder to sour the rest of your sale, and possibly negatively affect your product or service. With this in mind, salespeople need to ask their contact to involve all relevant parties in the buying process and help those stakeholders get on board. Unless you can get that group to reach consensus that they're going to buy, and buy from you, there's no way the deal is going to close.
Review: Get the buyer to agree to review your solution with you before deciding one way or the other. This gives you the opportunity to iterate if they're not blown away by your initial proposal. This commitment requires that you present to all of the stakeholders involved in the decision, that you get their input, and that you have an opportunity to make adjustments.
Resolve concerns: Cold feet at the end of the process is natural, but good salespeople will help their buyers work through their concerns instead of fading into the background and allowing doubt to take over. You need the commitment to follow up your presentation and resolve any concerns your potential client may have. Those concerns may be resolved by providing proof, by walking through your implementation plan, or simply by spending time answering questions. If you don't know what their concerns are, you can't resolve them.
Closing: Great salespeople ask for the deal. Knowing that they have created value during every sales encounter, knowing they have worked to fully understand the prospect's needs before proposing a solution, having revised their solution to meet the needs of all of the prospect's stakeholders, the salesperson knows that they can naturally, comfortably ask for the commitment to move forward.
Great salespeople obtain commitments that move the deal through the sales and buying process.
How about a commitment from you? Are you committed to improving your sales skills? Are you committed to sales training as a way to become a better salesperson?

1 lb puff pastry
1 large broccoli head, cut into florets
2 tabspoons butter
3 to 4 leeks, trimmed and thinly sliced
2/3 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup chopped chives
1/3 cup chopped tarragon (I subbed in a sprig of rosemary)
3 tbsp grany mustard
1 teaspoon salt
black pepper
7 oz. gorgonzola, cut into medium chunks
1 egg, beaten
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Roll out 2/3 of pastry into a circle that is 1/8 in thick and large enough to line a 10 inch loose bottomed tart pan. (I just used a pie dish). Line the pan and trim off the excess pastry.
3. Roll out the remaining pastry into a thinner disc, large enough to cover the surface of the pie and lay it on a plate.
4. Place both shell and lid in the freezer for 10 minutes.
5. Line the pastry with parchment paper and fill it with baking beans. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until light brown. Remove the paper and beans and return to the oven to bake for about 5 minutes, or until the bottom of the shell is golden. Leave to cool down.
6. While tart shell is baking, prepare the filling. Cook the broccoli florets in a large pot of boiling water for about 2 minutes (until tender but firm). Drain in a colander, rinse well with cold water, and leave to dry.
7. Melt butter in a pan and gently cook the leeks for 10 to 15 minutes, until soft but not colored. Add the cream, water, chives, tarragon, mustard, salt, and pepper. Stir well and let boil for 1 minute before removing from heat.
8. To assemble, spread the leek mixture over the bottom of the pastry case. Scatter the broccoli on top and gently press into the leek mix. Dot with the gorgonzola. Brush the rim of the tart case with the beaten egg and place the pastry lid over the filling. Press down firmly around the edge to attach the lid to the case. Trim off any lid that hangs over the edge. Brush the lid with the beaten egg.
9. Bake for 30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.

Alice blew into the door of the photography studio and reluctantly walked to the front desk. "I'm here for an appointment" she said barely audible. An attempt to straighten the mess on her head was futile after noticing how beautiful the assistant was sitting behind the desk watching her in amusement.
"Please have a seat. It will be a few minutes honey." The assistant continued reading her book from behind the partition but not without giving Alice another look.
Alice sat down next to the window and stared blankly to the outside world. "One shot, one shot is all I need. I can look as good as her," Alice thought. "The woman who stole my husband, who shattered my life into little pieces – I can be as good as her." Her thoughts were interrupted by the music blaring from behind the walls as a man's voice in the background yelled, "that's it baby. Now - one more. Oh, yeah. That's lovely."
Alice sat nervously in the waiting room anticipating the salvation of her 20 year marriage. Her friends had told her for weeks to do something that would make her feel better. This was her bold attempt to feel sexy and desirable again. "I could be everything he wants - his fantasy."
At 42, she did not feel sexy. She had let herself go amidst the daily grind of life, stopped wearing make-up years ago, stopped taking time each day to do something with her dishwater blonde hair, stopped caring about much of anything because the grind took up all of her time. Work and kids ate up every minute of every day, leaving little of it left to spend on her or Ken. Alice was not unattractive, just unattended to, and her husband felt the same. But he took matters into his own hands and now. Alice struggled to make sense of a world without him. "I will show him if it's the last thing I do. He'll want me. It would be the best revenge," Alice thought.
"Yes," she replied hesitantly. Her stomach in such tight knots she thought she would puke. She spent the day pampering herself in anticipation. A couple of hours getting a massage, then to the nail salon, followed by several hours in the chair at the hairdresser, who also helped her with her make-up for all the good that did. For the first time in years Alice sensed her confidence coming back, but at this moment doubt revisited and she wanted to forget this whole hair-brained scheme to win back her husband. Perhaps it was over and he really didn't want her anymore.
Gretchen, the beautiful assistant in the pink dress called to her, "he's ready for you honey."
Alice followed the woman in stiletto heels and tight dress through the dark hallways. More photos of beautiful women. Alice wondered if the photographer, Stilt, slept with his subjects. Their smoldering looks gave it all away. They were practically making love to the camera.
"Ahhh, my lovely Alice," Stilt said. Holding his arms open widely he embraced her as if they were old friends. Stilt was not what Alice had expected. He was 6 foot 3 inches of skinny, tousled hair – what little there was, and a 5 o'clock shadow - not very attractive. However, his British accent made up for everything. It had to be the reason all the women in the photos looked as if they were in love.
"Hello," she said accepting his welcome. A camera still in his hands, he adjusted the equipment and studied her with a bewildered look. "Gretchen, appointments for the rest of the day?" he asked.
"This is the last one," she replied.
Still watching Alice he said, "Fantastic. Then you are excused for the rest of the day." Gretchen frowning in disappointment turned and left the room.
Still looking Alice over from head to toe, and everywhere in between he said, "my lovely Alice, this will be fun. I will have you change over there into whatever you like and come back to the platform when you are ready." Stilt pointed to the small dressing room in the corner with a limited amount of clothing hanging on the rack just outside of it.
The room was large and open. Much like the rest of the space it was painted black except for a rather large white screen and platform in the corner. Numerous cameras were set-up on tripods in front of the platform, and lighting throughout the room – some hanging, some standing on light stands. A large fan was tucked away against the wall, and a small dressing area in the opposite corner.
Alice's stomach was completing cartwheels causing her to wonder if this was a good idea. Looking through the costumes of scantily made strings on a hanger she knew she could never fill out, she thought of just leaving altogether. "No, this is what he likes. He likes sexy. I have to be sexy. It will only take one shot and he will see - I am sexy too." After choosing an outfit she went behind the screen to change.
Walking back to the platform, Stilt was busy making adjustments to lighting and camera angles. He hardly noticed Alice. Visibly nervous she stepped onto the platform. In an effort to calm her nerves he said, "Alice love, it's quite normal to be uneasy the first time. You are going to be fine."
The room was cold. Standing on the platform, Alice felt completely exposed, as if the spotlight was revealing every secret within her. Any moment, all of her insecurities would come falling out onto the platform like carnage after a terrible battle. I hate you Ken. I hate you for doing this to me.
The shutter on the camera began clicking away. "Okay Alice. You look a bit stiff. Close your eyes and relax. Roll your head around a few times to release some of the tension. Forget everything outside of these walls, visualize yourself as being whatever it is you wanted to be when you stepped in that front door," Stilt said gently coaxing her to move.
"I want to be sexy. I want to be loved. I want to be . . . her. One shot is all I need. One good shot." Getting in time with the rhythm of the music, she started to slip away. Her body moving smoothly in ways she had never felt before. The camera continues to click, but soon she does not hear a thing, not even the music. A flood of emotions come and go as if viewing her life in warp speed. Early days of happiness, her marriage to Ken, the birth of her children; then despair from an unfulfilling career and loneliness; and finally, the affair. Her. "Let it go Alice. Let it go Alice."
"Let it go Alice," she hears in the distance. "You are doing great, keep moving honey."
Tears slowly form in the corners of her eyes. She can't let them fall, not one more tear for him. It takes every ounce of strength to keep that tear from falling. If it falls He wins.
Alice opens her eyes. The camera is staring at her searching for truth and honesty. The tears subside. She has won. She looks into the lens with a new determination and will. I have won. Her body continues to move in time with the music and she lets herself feel it, feel everything she never felt before. Beautiful, sexy . . . worthy of being looked at – of being loved.
Alice stepped out of the dressing room feeling rejuvenated.
"Darling, you did amazing in there. What happened?" Stilt asked. "It was like your face and body expression changed in one moment. Quite bizarre. Well, I think you got the 'one shot' you were hoping for."
"Did I mention that to you?" Alice asked. "I don't remember saying anything during the shoot."
"Oh, you were very vocal. You kept saying 'I just need one good shot,'" he laughed. "I think you got it!" he said smiling.
"Thank you Stilt. I will tell all my friends to come and see you if they ever need to feel beautiful," she said embarrassed by the revelation.
Arriving home, she hurriedly sat the groceries on the table. The bag tipped and the tomatoes spilled onto the floor. She couldn't wait to pick them up, she had to look at the photos that arrived in the mail today. Tearing open the envelope, but careful not to bend the contents she slowly removed the pictures. "Wow, is that really me? I guess Stilt was right. I have never looked like that," she smiled to herself. I look even better than her. He won't regret leaving her to come back to me.
A glass falls in the back of the house startling her. Slowly, she makes her way to the back of the house only stopping briefly at the desk. She hears a faint laughing coming from the back bedroom? The kids? No, they are at school. No, this cannot be happening, again. He said he was through with her.
Alice throws open the door widely. "ALICE!" Ken exclaims. "What are you doing? No!" Pop.
"I only needed one good shot."

New Hitachi Hybrid HD camcorder allows three high-def recording modesAugust 11, 2008 | Jeff Chabot 1
Hitachi Home Electronics has announced a new HD hybrid camcorder (DZ-BD10HA) that functions in three formats and improves upon Blu-ray Disc recording capabilities from last year's DZ-BD7HA hybrid camcorder. The new DZ-BD10HA has also improved upon power consumption and noise in the 8cm BD/DVD drive.
The three format hybrid camcorder is able to record HD video onto Blu-ray Disc, hard drive, or SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) card. It allows recording up to 4 hours and 20 minutes of 1920×1080 resolution video, or 8 hours 40 minutes of 1440×1080 onto the built-in 30GB hard drive. Read More

'Matrix' Blu-ray Disc release date revealedAugust 3, 2008 | Jeb Stuart
Yet another Keanu Reeves Blu-ray release slated for October 14th, The Ultimate Matrix Collection will be released along with graphic novel based Constantine. Should we name October 14th "Keanu Reeves Day?" Two great films being released the same day on BD…the only question is which should I pick up first?
The Matrix, while revolutionary for its time, does seem a bit dated in moments. The "Matrix-branded" 360-degree camera movements wowed fans at the time, but ended up being so overused in the industry that its effect seems to have been reduced to more of a gimmick. Read More

Hurrah for the Circus!
Review by Prabhu Viswanathan (February 7, 2007)
Mr. Galliano, Circus Master extraordinaire handsome and strong, enormous black moustache all curled and twirled, top hat in hand, plump wife aside rides into Westsea Town in his glittering carriage. And thus does he lead a cast of characters that ranges from Pretty Pepita, Sticky Stanley and Mr. Tonks to Mr. Wally and Ma Lightfoot.
And then we have Jimmy, who lives with his father and mother in a pretty, yellow caravan with Lotta, his second best friend, whose own parents are away. His best friend is of course Wonder Dog Lucky. Is there any pose she cannot strut? Any trick she cannot perform? With her loving master, Jimmy, she is the crowd pleaser that Mr. Galliano depends upon to pull in the profits at the circus. And thus the show goes on...
But soon it is time to look for other acts. One day Mr. Galliano receives a letter from Roma and Fric, who own six mighty tigers who can sit on stools, jump through hoops and play follow-the-leader unnatural acts according to a cynical Mr. Wally who prefers his beloved chimpanzee Sammy.
Jimmy, of course, is the happiest boy in the world. He is a magician with animals, and loves them almost beyond comprehension and wants nothing more than to make friends with the mighty creatures. So when the tigers roar into town, he is at their cages almost every free moment he gets. But, to his astonishment, there is one creature even fiercer than the tigers and that is Fric, the boy who owns the animals with his uncle. Fric only knows that he must control the beasts with fear and discipline, and is amazed (and not a little jealous) when Jimmy begins to demonstrate his magic with them.
So that Jimmy can spend more time with the tigers, he makes an effort to win Fric over to his side. Jimmy must make a friend out of him, but what he gains is far outweighed by what he loses. Fric is scornful of girls, and Lotta is undisputably one... so Jimmy must choose. And rather selfishly he chooses wrong. Lotta grows distant...
But in his desperation to make friends with the tigers, all Jimmy can think about is being with them INSIDE the cage. With the help of a reluctant Fric, he conspires to visit them one night, and spends magical hours in close embrace with big Queenie. The seed of desire is sown, and the boy now dreams about the majestic creatures every waking and sleeping moment.
Lotta, his true friend, discovers what is going on and is torn between fear for Jimmy being with the unpredictable animals, and fear of telling tales... and what's more, angering him.
However, fate is to play its volatile hand. Fric, having been told off by Lotta in no uncertain terms, plots his revenge and tries to kidnap Jemima the monkey, who has been left in the care of the little girl. Frightened, the monkey runs into the tigers' cage, and her squealing begins to disturb the mighty cats. Then Queenie puts out a big angry paw and swipes Jemima to the ground! The monkey lies still.
Fric is too scared to do anything and, perhaps wisely, allows courage to desert him for the moment. But when all the circus surrounds the cages in despair and sorrow, brave Jimmy convinces Roma and Mr. Galliano to allow him to enter the cage. What follows is one of Enid's animal dramas played to poignant perfection, and all is well again.
Or is it! When the show visits and winds up at Greenville, it is time for the tigers to leave. And so does Fric but not without first taking revenge on Jimmy, despicably kidnapping poor Lucky in the process. In the boy's sorrow, he turns upon Lotta as the root cause of his trouble, for it was her after all who made an enemy of Fric.
I should not, and therefore will not, spoil your reading pleasure by revealing just how courageous little Lotta rescues the dog. And thus earning Jimmy's lifelong gratitude, she is overjoyed when he promises her a reward that will make her happy beyond belief.
This time, all's really well that ends well... and the curtain finally comes down on one large and very happy circus family.
It's one of Enid Blyton's signature animal stories: lots of creatures, lots of love to go around, and courage and friendship and evil plots and pranks. Plenty of strong characters with defined images stride through the tale. The illustrations of E.H. Davie in my 1943 4th impression of the first (1939) edition, are delightful and plentiful, and every incident in the story has a pretty image (attractively black and white) to go with it.
If you are an animal lover, and adore the circus, this book could adorn a lazy Sunday afternoon. Sit back with a pot of tea, and if you have a dog you may even read the story out loud while he lies curled at your feet. Who knows... when you are finished he may even walk on his hindlegs! Or train you instead...!

Eh-hem, so yeah, that's where EA is going with this, sexy all over. Luckily, the gameplay is indeed there. This third-person action game follows the story of the movie, but cuts down on the dramatic story elements of Patience Phillips, so that gamers can get down to the action itself. Catwoman fights with a Brazilian fight style known as Capoeira (first shown off in Namco's Tekken III), which means Catwoman is often low to the ground, swinging her legs under people, acrobatically flipping over them, and using a continuous rhythm to keep it all going. The combo system is based on a domino effect, so players must use the analog button for all the moves, with the idea of knocking down one enemy into another, or using an object to start a chain reaction of falling bodies.
The environment plays a large part in this fighting style. She can flip off the lights and kick everyone's ass since she can see in the dark, or she can use fire extinguishers, small doors, cans and the like to whip, catch and throw at enemies to kick things off. Catwoman hates guns, so using her upgradeable whip, she can snap them out of enemy hands, or she can simply wrap her whip around an enemy's neck and pull him toward her, after which she performs a backflip kick, just for the look of it.
Given Catwoman's superhero moves -- she has lightning quick attacks, is incredibly dexterous, she can fight up to as many six guys in a room at once, and take them all down -- she is also a prime target for giving the game platform elements. Halle can climb on mesh covered walls, hop up narrow walls like Mario, and she can climb and leap across buildings, like all good super heroes. She's also quite an acrobat. She's literally able to use telephone wires as parallel bars launching up stories and swinging across open city chasms with her whip, or she can utilize the urban jungle itself to progress from point A to point B.
Her whip is often useful to solve simple logic puzzles and as she progresses and collects diamonds (she happens to love pretty shiny things), she earns the right to buy new moves and whip enhancements as she progresses. Catwoman's moves are measured in a "Domination Meter," what is internally called the Bling Bling Bar, which essentially is a combo meter that, once filled, activates wildcat mode, enabling Catwoman to produce extravagant attacks.
The single-player game is rich with rewards and it's built with a solid replay value. Gamer can beat a single level without getting 100%. But by achieving 100%, players can unlock more moves, combo-related moves and extras for Halle's whip. Players can given comic book awards, neatly designed shots of Catwoman clobbering en enemy in comic book cells. They'll also be able to unlock special renders, artwork, and an interview with Ms. Berry herself.
Catwoman still doesn't have a rating, but EA is shooting for a Teen rating for all five systems, PS2, Xbox, GameCube, PC and GBA. The single-player game is almost identical across all systems, with the GameCube and PS2 versions sporting Dolby Pro Logic II in the sound department, while Xbox will receive lovely Dolbly 5.1 sound. No music will be rippable for the Xbox version, and while progressive scan will not be supported, widescreen mode will indeed be enabled. (The PC version will also support a gamepad.)
As it is, Catwoman is not the stinker than so many movies-to-games have been in the past. It's a gorgeous game with a fantastic looking lead character, voice-acted by Ms. Berry herself, and without even knowing about the eight month production schedule, the game is genuinely very pretty. We expect to see more of Catwoman in the upcoming months, and bet on us giving you a whole lot more come E3.

Last night, my husband and I vegged out in front of the projector in our media room. The movie at hand? Gone With the Wind. Yes. We went there. He's never watched it before and it's been forever since I had so we went for it and it was the MOST relaxation we've had in a REALLY long time.
