Unpublished For a Reason: February 2014
Recap: Last time, the Greek military arrived, the Americans chased them off, Morgan & Tammy finally FINALLY agreed to stay on the island for a little while, and then Doctor L. L. died. It was a weird, abrupt wrap-up of the whole "the Greek economy depends on you!" subplot.
This chapter opens with Doctor L. L.'s funeral/memorial service:
Almost everyone on the island followed, each of them somehow touched by Layland’s kindness and generosity.
This would be more meaningful if they weren't living on an island especially designed by him and his wife for their children to live on. Of course they were each somehow touched by him. That's the only reason they're on the island at all. But whatever.
Skye gives a little speech to Morgan and Tammy about how "Father is with Jesus now," though she follows it up with "Mother is so happy," which makes me wonder, because I don't think we ever heard anything about Skye converting her mother, so, um, I'm pretty sure we have no reason to believe they are both in Heaven. So that's disconcerting.
Tammy plans to head back to St. Paul to put things in order at their clinic, but Morgan suggests:
“Maybe I should do that, since I’m the administrator.”
HEY! Maybe you SHOULD do some administrating somewhere! Since you've done absolutely NONE of that in this book so far. But Tammy says, no, she's going to go administrate their St. Paul clinic to get closure.
And that's the end of chapter 30, so I'm moving on to the next chapter, because otherwise this is the saddest little mini-chapter ever.
The next morning, Morgan and Tammy were awakened by Skye’s bouncing on their bed. “Hey Dad, wake up! We have to take our morning walk along the beach. Do you want to go all the way back in the cave? It’s scary!” Skye pretended to shudder with fear.
Well, she has clearly gotten over her parents' death pretty quickly.
Actually, what this opening makes me think is, "OH MY GOSH I HATE KIDS LIKE THIS." Reason #14535 I should not have children: The idea of a child waking me up by bouncing on my bed is filling me with snarky rage.
This seems to be a pattern with Skye, though. Morgan and Tammy may just have to resign themselves to never get a full night's sleep again, even though she is certainly old enough to have some self-control about waking up her "parents."
Skye tells a somewhat gruesome story about going all the way back in the cave with Ty(rion) and discovering scratch marks on the wall from when prisoners were clawing to get out of the cave as the tide came in. On that cheerful note, they go have breakfast.
“We won’t have time for exploring today, because I have a big tennis match with Lance.”
Morgan's officially taken over the clinic, but he's still not doing anything that resembles work. Sigh.
We get some brief descriptions of the couple doing some vaguely work-y things but worrying all the time about how little time they have left with Skye. Then, suddenly, we have this timeline update:
Dr. Rozak left for two weeks on the annual Cruise for a Cure.
So I'm assuming it's been about a year since that first cruise. I went to look up how much time happened between the cruise and Lance the Tennis Player arriving with his letter. Turns out it was about 3 1/2 months. So we have just zoomed on by their life on the island. Nothing important happening here, gang. Morgan's supposedly administrating and Tammy is... doing something sciencey and caring about rare childhood diseases but mostly everyone's just waiting around for Skye to die.
Morgan suggested Skye enter some of her quality photographs in a contest.
A cropping and printing contest? Because that is what Skye is best at.
If she enters Mrs. Scott's pictures in a contest and wins money without acknowledging she was not the photographer (as Morgan suggested way back when), she had better send some of that prize money to the old lady...
One morning, Morgan and Tammy are woken up by Skye giggling about how she let a bunch of the island's black squirrels into the house. Maya discovers them and screams a bunch, while Skye thinks this is the funniest thing ever and laughs for like three minutes straight before deciding maybe she should help Maya get the squirrels out of their house. Yeah, she's a charmer. But she tells them all this while doing a bad John Wayne imitation, so, um, I guess that makes it cuter?
Skye and Maya spent the next two hours trying to get the squirrels out of the house, finally succeeding using a fishing net and laundry basket.
TWO HOURS? Skye thinks it's hilarious that she and her housekeeper are going to have to spend TWO HOURS getting rid of a couple of squirrels? While, what, Morgan and Tammy lounge around in bed? Something tells me Maya's not nearly as amused by this as everyone else is...
So then we zoom two months ahead, and Skye continues to be as obnoxious as she was a year ago:
Skye was always the first one up on Sunday mornings. “Time for church,” she would bellow at the top of her lungs, jumping on her parents’ bed.
Oh my gosh. SOMEBODY needs to get this child to calm down, right now.
Reason #5481 I shouldn't be a mom: I see nothing adorable whatsoever about being woken up by children bouncing on my bed. I don't care if it's Christmas. Go away. Anyway, Morgan and Tammy wake up one Sunday to find the power is out and Skye is still sleeping, but when they go in to wake her up, she doesn't wake up. Morgan and Tammy panic, but as they start to panic, suddenly people start arriving:
Hearing the commotion, Maya rushed in. “The ambulance is here. What’s wrong?” Ty and Penni raced into the room right behind her. Quickly assessing the situation, Ty shouted, “Lay her on the bed.”
Hold on hold on hold on. Ty(rion) is an IT guy, not a nurse! What the heck is he even doing here?
Apparently there was a power surge that made all the girls' alarms go off, so it wasn't until like ten minutes after Skye went comatose that they even realized anything was genuinely wrong with her. So the IT guy grabbed the only nurse mentioned by name, called Dr. Rozak, and rushed over in an ambulance.
They all follow Skye to the hospital, where most of them file into the chapel and pray for her.
It was hard to read Tammy’s expression when she entered the hushed waiting room, but there was no doubt that it registered concern.
So, wait, isn't that reading her expression? Doesn't that mean "her concerned expression was easy to read"? I think what he really meant is that Morgan couldn't tell right away whether Skye was alive or dead. However, it turns out Skye is alive. She had a seizure, but they got to her in time... which is too bad because we still have like 20% of this book left and I'm not sure I can take Skye squealing at the top of her lungs about church for another 35 pages.
I know, I'm a terrible person, eagerly waiting for this fictional child to die, but if he hadn't made her so dang annoying...
Dr. Rozak announces:
“I’ve called the team in and we’re going to work today. In fact, we’re going to work around the clock until we get as far or farther than the Leontiou’s were.”
Sigh. I see Rothdiener and his editor still don't know how to use apostrophes.
I'm pretty sure they've been talking about the team working around the clock anyway. Was this like their one day off in the past two months? I guess now the reality has sunk in that Skye's going to die any day now, so they should really work on this whole cure thing.
Morgan insists that Dr. Rozak should have known something about the Leontious' work, but apparently all he ever did was administer the injections. He is a doctor, not a scientist. If he wasn't ever involved in the procedure to begin with, I don't really know why he's doing any work on the procedure now.
Morgan asks if there were backup hard drives.
OH MY GOSH. If there were backup hard drives and everyone forgot about them because they were idiots and all this time they could have just restored the freaking virus killing antidote from the backups that were there all along, I'm going to hit someone.
Fortunately, that's not the case. Ty(rion) tried to save the hard drives, but they were all wiped. (I mean, obviously they should have saved the backups on external hard drives that weren't connected to the network because that's how backups work, but at least they weren't like, "Hey, we never thought of using the backups!")
Dr. Rozak says Skye has like a year, tops, before she dies. Then we get this speech:
With fresh optimism Morgan began to speak, starting in a whisper, but growing louder with each phrase. “She’ll get better! I know she will. We’re going to beat this! Skye is going to beat this! Everyone get to work. We have a job to do. Lives to save!” Morgan rushed out of the room to Skye’s side.
Guys, there is NO WAY to do this without making it hilarious.
I issue you all that challenge. Say Morgan's speech, starting by whispering "She'll get better" and getting louder with each sentence until you're yelling, "LIVES TO SAVE!" and then run out of the room. If you can do this with great sincerity and seriousness and not burst into laughter about halfway through, you're a better person than I.
Morgan goes to see Skye, who is very concerned that she didn't get to play piano in church that morning. (That may be one of the first actual childlike responses I've seen from her. Kudos, Rothdiener.) She then pleasantly reports that she had an out-of-body experience during this whole thing, which freaks Morgan out. She ends by quoting Scripture at him and saying God knows what he's doing.
We are 80% of the way through. Eight chapters, 44 pages, two more months. (Unless chapters are short again and I can cram a couple in together like today. Whoo!)
(Chapter 32.)

How many did you get right? How many have you seen, but you've never have guessed that's what they were from the given plot? :-)
Once upon a time, my siblings and I made up a character called "Baby Wayney." He was an actual baby, I think. But he didn't really have a personality or anything, he just occasionally showed up when we needed a name or a placeholder character for a game we were playing.Then, once upon another time, we thought it might be fun to come up with as many rhyming phrases as we could. Somehow this morphed into creating a series of children's books, representing it with a rhyming one-sentence pitch. (We tried to roughly keep the meter the same throughout.) Since Baby Wayney was our placeholder name, it only made sense to center this series of kids' books around him as well.One of us came up with a random sentence, and then we went around the room coming up with as many rhymes as we could. We couldn't reuse the same word, although we could reuse homonyms as long as they had different meanings/spellings (we used both the noun and verb forms of "fries," for example, as well as things like "sighs" and "size").I was reminded of this the other day and decided I should let you guys read this awesomeness. Here, for your reading amusement, is our list, with the occasional comment.Baby Wayney and the pigs fall in a cave full of fliesThe initial book premise. It's a pretty dumb one to begin with, but our rhyming ones aren't any better. Turns out there are A BILLION rhymes for "flies," though. We thought we'd have to switch out rhymes after about 15 minutes, but we kept going for like an hour and a half.

Sorry, gang, arthritis got in the way this week and I never did get to write up Skye. But I went to the doctor today and got some more meds that'll hopefully get me back to feeling awesome soon. So we'll return next week!
In the meantime, have some silly videos to brighten your Friday:
You know what I haven't done on my blog in more than a year? Taken movie plots from IMDb, run them through Bad Translator, and made you guess what they were! I also recently added my 2000th movie to Flickchart, so there will be 20 to guess, as I like to choose every 100th movie on my chart. I'm sure they've shifted around plenty in the past year.
As always, I'll give you the decade and the genre to help you out a little bit.
#500 - The establishment of foreign funds of $ beating the s*** that goes beyond a few seconds before the Earth is destroyed by his friend Ford, recommended by the scientists called the new world. (2000s comedy -- censoring of the curse word is mine, as ya never know when I'm going to have young readers on this blog... I'm not sure where that came from)
#600 - Armed robbers ball and Tiger is actually two Liao dynasty, Willie tries to convince forests and pressures of civilization. (1960s kids' movie. Good luck with this one.)
#700 - Hostility against the body and the other, but relative. (1990s rom com. Nobody will ever get this.)
#1500 - Marinated Fennel agents, as he was a magical flying piano anywhere in the world, but was soon in trouble. (1980s kids' short. Pretty sure only my family has a chance of getting this.)
#1600 - Fall Turkey argues that the key to the prosperity of Maya rulers, when standing on the other to build temples, and human sacrifice. Jaguar paw and sacrifice captured trying to escape the fate of men. (2000s... action drama, I think. I honestly can't remember it well enough to be certain whether it was more action or more drama, and IMDb lists both.)
Leave your guesses in the comments! I'll post the answers on Monday.
There are probably 4-5 finished blogs sitting in the "drafts" section of my blog dashboard. My thoughts in them are pretty complete, I think I've said it about as well as I'm going to, I've just never hit "publish."
Usually it's because I'm afraid.
I've gotten very comfortable sharing my opinion on some serious topics. I am never afraid to post something about introversion, depression, or my opinions on movies. I've had practice articulating my thoughts on those subjects, I can speak from experience, and they're typically not all that controversial.
But there are other things, other thoughts and opinions, that I am just terrified to post.
I've been trying for about a week now to write a blog about why I have chosen not to have children. I was writing it partly in response to a conversation I had on Facebook, but the subject quickly became much more emotionally charged for me than I expected and I had to back out of the discussion. I hoped maybe I could pull together my thoughts and articulate it better as a blog.
Well, I pulled them together, I think they're about as articulate as they're going to get, but I am just too scared to publish it.
What if it comes across as angry and reactionary because I'm still emotionally connecting it to that frustrating Facebook conversation?
What if others respond angrily and simply label my opinions self-centered and childish without listening to my reasoning or even bothering to think about it from my point of view?
What if someone who is a mom feels like I'm disregarding her role in society or telling her she made the wrong choice?
What if I think it's articulate now, but ten years from now I look at it and realize I was being ignorant and stupid?
What if I hurt someone with my post, who then responds angrily and hurts me with their post, and then everybody's just hurt and I haven't accomplished anything?
I look at some of the big name Christian bloggers who share their thoughts on the big controversial subjects all the time, the ones where it's hard to even start talking about them anymore because they're so emotionally fragile people just charge in already feeling strongly about the subject without even listening what anyone else has to say... and I feel completely exhausted and overwhelmed and think, "How in the world do they do it?"
I don't want to hurt people with my words. I want to be clear about what I think and feel but not if it come at someone else's expense. But, to be completely honest, I also don't want to hurt myself with my words. Sometimes I think I stick to safe subjects because it's less likely that somebody is going to react negatively to it and make me feel bad about myself.
Good writing is vulnerable, but being vulnerable means it hurts when people hit you back, and if I'm not ready to deal with that, maybe I'm not ready to speak about it yet.
Is this extreme caution a bad thing? I don't know. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. Sometimes I've forged ahead, posted something I wasn't sure I was ready to post, and got an overwhelmingly positive reaction from it. Other times I've posted something and realized shortly afterward that I did it all wrong. There are times where I have to just do it and be willing to say it even if it scares me, and other times when I'd have been better off keeping my mouth shut. I'm still trying to find the discernment to pinpoint when it is the right time to share something -- when I am ready and when my potential audience is ready. Sometimes, with some subjects, that may be never.
So one of these days you might get to see that blog about children. You might not. But either way, thank you, my readers, for letting me share what I have thus far. Sorry this post doesn't really have much of a point... It's just a musing on how blogging serious thoughts can be scary, and it really makes me appreciate all the ways you've all encouraged me and made me feel free to share my heart with so many of you via this blog over the past couple years.

If Community is an almost-genre work all about the possibilities of change, TBBT is like its evil counterpart. It's a story about stasis. A show obsessed with the power of habit and inertia, a show about stillness and limitation. It's people sitting on couches together, and being alone. People that have nothing stopping them from reaching out, except that it would require them to be a little braver than they are, a little more insightful, a little kinder. In short, it would require them to change, and TBBT turns that into the hardest thing in the world. I Don't Worship God By Singing. I Connect With Him Elsewhere, by Donald Miller at Storyline

Recap: Things got crazy last time, guys. Morgan sneaked past The Locked Door to find out that Doctor Leontiou is alive (and possibly dressing up as an old lady in a wheelchair), but he and Malinda somehow both got Super Batten from their experiments. They found a treatment for Batten but all their scientists died in the explosion and all their research was saved on their network so Markus' wife's hacking destroyed that, so nobody can make any more Batten medicine because nobody knows how. It is all ridiculous.
Morgan’s gaze shifted to another room.
There is ANOTHER ROOM behind The Locked Door. Looks like it was keeping the Hamiltons out of like half the clinic.
Morgan goes in. It's another bedroom, with a child-sized desk, so, um... Skye's room? Why does Skye have a bedroom behind The Locked Door? What's wrong with the one in her mansion? Is this where she was sleeping before the Hamiltons showed up?
A bunch of paintings of the pictures Mrs. Scott took on Skye's cruise trip are all over the walls, while another wall just has paintings of Jesus. Morgan confirms that Skye painted them all.
“If you examine them closely, you’ll discover Skye’s initials somewhere on every one.”
What a truly novel idea, to initial your artwork. Skye must have thought of that one all on her own.
In one painting, the initials are in Jesus' eye, because Jesus always has his eye on Skye. Sigh. Why?
Morgan asks why so many pictures of Jesus. Doctor L. L. says he asked Skye the same thing, and she'd always respond, "Oh, because He walks with me and talks with me." Doctor L. L. then casually announces he's a Christian now, and Morgan gets all excited. So then we get the conversion story:
“Much has occurred since then. I never really thought about religion, or really cared, for that matter. It just wasn’t important to me. One day I sat down with Skye, and came right out and asked her about it. Can you believe that an adult asked a ten-old-girl why she believes the way she does? Anyhow, she just said, ‘Father, I wish you could understand. I see a train coming down the track towards millions of people— how can I not warn them that it’s headed directly toward them?’” Unashamedly, tears fell from Skye’s father’s eyes. “Yes, I’m a believer. Skye was thrilled when we prayed together.”
Skye's been praying and painting Jesus for years, and now, suddenly, he asks her this out of the blue. He doesn't bother to explain whether he'd been thinking about it for awhile, or whether her answer somehow startled him into realizing he needed to believe, or anything.
This conversion story is disturbing because it has nothing to do with Jesus. It is ALL about Skye. He goes on to gush about how loving she is and how she tells everybody about Jesus, but the emphasis is ALL on her.
God apparently has absolutely nothing to do with any of it. While the Bible would teach you the Holy Spirit convicts people, J. L. Rothdiener knows the real truth: Skye convicts people. With her bouncy hair and her cute nine-year-old ways.
Morgan asks how much time Doctor L. L. has left, and he says, “Days... Maybe only hours.”
Well, DANG. It's a good thing Morgan broke into The Locked Door when he did, because Doctor L. L. might be dead by the end of the day.
OK, and now things start getting more confusing:
“Dr. Hamilton, Skye is dying too! Once that occurs, who knows what will happen? We’re simply buying time.”
I still have no idea why Skye is so freaking important to anyone. I mean, yes, she has superpowers, but I don't think we're supposed to think she has superpowers. So let's see if Doctor L. L. will explain why Skye is so important.
“I had hoped to extend my daughter’s life, and at the same time, save my country.” Morgan continued gazing at the pictures Skye had painted. “Your country could collapse economically anyway.” “True, but at least we will have tried.” “Sad! Does Skye realize the role she has to play in all this?”
*I* don't realize the role Skye has to play in all this, how come Morgan does?
Literally the only thing I can think of that makes Skye a player in this at all is that she was the first one getting the new Batten drugs, so I guess if they ever figure out how to make the new drugs again they'll need a new guinea pig if she's dead. Which is morbid but that's ALL SHE HAS TO DO WITH THIS SO FAR.
This is excruciatingly frustrating. I wish Rothdiener would stop re-explaining things we know already ("GASP, the bracelets monitor the girls' vitals?!") and start explaining what the CRAP is going on with all these conspiracy theories and how the HECK Skye fits into it all.
Tammy suddenly shows up in the room, followed by an apologizing guard. I guess she got tired of waiting in the storage room -- it's not like the Hamiltons are known for their patience or anything -- and just wandered in.
And then we have like a page and a half of this:
“If everyone lived like Skye, the world would be a much better place.”
This chapter has already established Skye is better than God, so can we move past this?
Doctor L. L. then shows them a picture of Skye and her parents chilling with Jesus in heaven. She painted it before she went on the cruise, but in the picture she's wearing the outfit Tammy bought for her, so Doctor L. L. has decided it's a prophecy that means she'll be dead soon and they'll all be in heaven together by the end of the year.
Morgan stepped closer to the wheelchair-bound man. “Skye has been a godsend to us. She has showed us that there are more important things in life than our problems.”
"Which is why I have spent the last several days helping take care of children instead of wandering around a beach, spying on people, sneaking past locked doors, and taunting reporters. CLEARLY I HAVE LEARNED MY LESSON."
However, the Hamiltons quickly reveal they don't really care about anyone but Skye, because after this long speech about giving selflessly to improve others, Morgan says they'll stay at the clinic until Skye dies, but there's no guarantee they'll stick around after that. Doctor L. L. tries to point out that there are other girls here, not just Skye, but Morgan says it'd probably be too emotional for them to stick around.
“I’m still at a loss knowing why you think we’re properly qualified for this. You’re able to obtain the greatest minds in the world to work for you.” “You can add much more than anyone else, because you will add heart.”
"I can tell you have heart because you wrote a paper about why we should care about rare childhood diseases. And then only talk about that at the conferences I spontaneously ask you to speak at."
“I’m sorry,” Tammy said. “But heart is something we’re lacking these days. We’re mad at life, and at God, for not allowing us to have a baby.”
Well, that's... honest.
Doctor L. L.'s response is along the lines of, "Well, I'M losing a kid, and I'M not mad at God," which apparently shames the Hamiltons into silence.
Skye and Lance show up in the room, and suddenly Doctor L. L. starts breathing heavily and asks for a moment to say goodbye to Skye, because apparently he's going to conveniently die right now after explaining everything to the Hamiltons. Well, everything except why the heck Skye matters to the Greek economy.
Morgan knew that those left in the Leontiou family needed time alone. Now that everything was public, they no longer had to meet in hiding. If all goes well, the next morning the papers will be signed, and Skye will be officially adopted by the Hamiltons. Everything Layland owns will be transferred to Skye and her new mom and dad.
Which begs the question, once more: Why all the secrecy? If they were waiting to transfer Doctor L. L.'s possessions over to the Hamiltons before they told the world they were dying/dead, then why didn't they TELL the Hamiltons what was going on? What were they waiting for? Were they just waiting for them accept the clinic first? Did they think they'd be less likely to accept if they knew the truth?
NOTHING ANYBODY DOES MAKES ANY SENSE
But on the bright side, I did a calculation the other day and we only have 11 chapters left after this one. Three more months of Skye and we'll have finished.
Holy cow, guys. I watched 34 new-to-me movies in January. Aside from the 15 movies I watched as part of my 2014 movie challenge, I've also been watching through movies from 2012 and a bunch of movies that I watched just because. So here's a quick recap of what I saw, in order from my favorite to my least favorite. Links lead to my (slightly longer) reviews on my movie blog.
Frozen (2013) - Disney's best non-Pixar movie in fourteen years. A truly magical twist on the classic princess story with much more appropriate and healthy messages for kids and possibly the two best Disney female character of all time.
Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012) - An enchanting fantastical story with one of the most engaging child protagonists ever.
The Grey (2011) - I was completely caught off guard by how poignant I found it. Definitely potential to be a favorite.
Repulsion (1965) - Truly scary psychological horror flick with a slow but effective build.
The Great Gatsby (2013) - In true Baz Luhrmann style, this movie looks unbelievably gorgeous. I could just look at it all day.
He Loves Me... He Loves Me Not (2002) - Revealing too much of the plot would be spoilery, so suffice it to say I really really enjoyed it and you should all go see it.
Do the Right Thing (1989) - Still sitting with this one, as I found it moving in a way I can't articulate.
Video Game High School (2012) - A condensed, movie-length version of a web series, it's very episodic but holds together surprisingly well, and, more important, it's really funny.
Robot & Frank (2012) - Quirky but ever so charming little sci-fi drama.
Silent Movie (1976) - A fun and enjoyable homage to silent movies and slapstick.
Crazy Heart (2006) - A gentle, heartfelt portrayal of a wonderfully layered character.
Choke (2008) - Sam Rockwell is great fun, even if I wasn't terribly satisfied with the ending.
Chronicle (2012) - Not an objectively great movie, but I found myself truly enjoying it.
True Grit (1969) - Despite my dislike for westerns, this one works, largely because of the character of Mattie.
Apollo 13 (1995) - Solid, though it didn't quite live up to the high expectations I had for it.
Dakota Skye (2008) - A creative premise that never quite grips me emotionally.
Monsters University (2013) - Meh. I've come to expect so much more with Pixar. It's a completely unnecessary sequel that does nothing to enhance the original.
Show Me Love (1998) - A cute love story with some nicely realistic characters.
Prometheus (2012) - Took a really long time to get going, though it was super fun once it got there.
Dredd (2012) - An enjoyably artsy thriller.
Bananas (1971) - Though there were several jokes I laughed at, there was a lot in between that I didn't.
Lawless (2012) - I remember enjoying it, but only a few weeks later, I've forgotten most of it.
Crank (2006) - Nice premise, but I get antsy during action movies and this is no exception.
Skyfall (2012) - Mercifully more lighthearted than Casino Royale, but still far too long to keep me interested.
Mud (2012) - Decent script and acting, but completely forgettable.
Send Me No Flowers (1964) - A funny, dark script that falls apart due to all the wrong casting choices.
Midnight Cowboy (1969) - I'm pretty sure there's a meaningful movie in here somewhere, but I couldn't find it.
The People vs. Larry Flint (1996) - The character of Larry Flynt was weirdly uncomfortable for me to watch. Just kind of... squirmy.
The Librarian: Quest for the Spear (2004) - Unfortunately, the acting was not quite campy enough for me to love it as a so-bad-it's-good flick, so it just kinda flounders.
All Dogs Go to Heaven (1989) - A confusing movie that's very dark for kids and very poorly-constructed for adults.
The Cowboys (1972) - I tried so hard to give this movie a shot, but I was just bored the whole time.
Courageous (2011) - This movie isn't even clear on its message, making it not only a bad drama but also a bad message movie.
Snow White and the Huntsman (2012) - The only redeemable thing about this dismal, ugly flick is that a couple of the special effects are kind of cool-looking, in a dismal, ugly way.
Gridiron Gang (2006) - One of the least original sports movies I've ever seen. There's nothing here that's not a cliche.
Phew! That's a very long list. Have you seen any of these? What did you think of them?

jakk54 says:	February 28, 2012 at 3:22 pm	Very interesting post. And, if you are a lover of Blake, I cannot recommend highly enough “Bright as Fire”, musical settings to some of Blake’s work by the Mike Westbrook Orchestra. It was produced maybe 20 years ago or more – I have it on vinyl, signed by every member of the group, too. Absolutely stunning. There are some moments, particularly when Phil Minton on “I See Thy Form” sings the phrase, “bright as fire”, that made the hair on the back of my neck stand on end. Here’s the link to the Westbrook site with blurb: http://www.westbrookjazz.co.uk/mikewestbrook/blakecd.shtml
VIKRAM ROY says:	February 29, 2012 at 10:23 am	Thanks Jak, I will try to listen to them, depending on availability in India!

Grandfathersky says:	February 28, 2012 at 5:45 pm	I do so like William Blake. I especially like his Tarot. Deck. This was a excellent review very insightful. Thanks.
VIKRAM ROY says:	March 1, 2012 at 4:49 pm	I am an ignorant about Tarots! I see Blake’s couple of dark art works on angels, hell and heaven! But I hardly know all of the stories behind those paintings. Thanks Grandfathersky!
Grandfathersky says:	March 1, 2012 at 9:19 pm	You can find his Tarot deck at http://www.facade.com. He has a very interesting view or the world, and a very different take on the meaning of the tarot, a lot of his cards contain pieces of his poetry
rich1698 says:	February 28, 2012 at 9:28 pm	That is a great poem, Blake is one of my favourites, Greast picture too

Bonnie Marshall says:	March 14, 2012 at 1:00 pm	Ah, yes…power in simplicity.
Reading Pleasure says:	March 14, 2012 at 2:18 pm	Happy birthday, Roy, I read Blake at the university, but I could never have analysed the Songs of Experience and Songs of Innocence as you have in such vivid biblical imagery. Yes, indeed, the two poems are a study in faith. Kudos.
KC says:	March 14, 2012 at 5:27 pm	Whew. Those are some powerful images there. Protection and righteous rage, concealed behind savage beauty until it’s needed. And even then, quick clean strikes, never glorying in the kill. (Temple of the Moneylenders, anyone? 😉 )
And soft and gentle innocence, but thoughtful, not goldfish-in-a-bowl innocence. “Hey, look it’s a castle! Wonder how long that’s been there!” Five minutes later…”Hey, look, it’s a castle!” *grins* No, the Lamb is innocent like a baby or child, constantly learning and growing, but preserving its precious innocence…and theirs.
duanetoops says:	March 14, 2012 at 7:55 pm	Great thoughts! The work of Thomas J.J. Altizer really helped me to come to appreciate Blake.

fiercebuddhist says:	March 29, 2012 at 12:56 am	Love it. I studied Blake quite a bit back in college. Great to revisit him.
questforpeace1427 says:	March 29, 2012 at 10:20 pm	Interesting, but misleading. Jesus is known as the Lamb of God, and the lamb without spot or blemish was the required sacrifice, according to the law,at Passover, and the blood put on the doorposts at the home, so that the angel of death would pass-over that location and the first born would live. Jesus is our sinless, spotless sacrifice for us. Our sins are forgiven because He gave His life, and blood for our salvation.By decalring Him as our Savior and asking Him into our lives and hearts, He takes up residence in us (His Holy Spirit resides within us) and we have eternal life. He is also known as the Lion of Judah, not a tiger, but the king of the jungle, for Jesus is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, by overcoming the world, and returning one day, soon.
pinayatsunshinestate says:	March 29, 2012 at 10:34 pm	Someday the tiger/lion and the lamb and the little child will play together in the new world… that statement is not allegory but the holy scripture mentioned this. Great thoughts, thanks for sharing.
questforpeace1427 says:	March 29, 2012 at 10:39 pm	Interesting, but misleading. Upon study of the bible, you will find that Jesus is the Lamb of God, and is known due to the requirements of the law concerning sacrifice for sin. The lamb was to be without blemish or spot, Jesus is sinless, and the Passover lamb was required at Passover to be sacrificed and the blood spread on the doorposts of the homes of the Jews so that the angel of death would pass-over that home and the first born would live. Jesus is our Passover sacrifice, the only Begotten Son of God, the Father, who paid the price of all our sins and afflictions with His life and blood. When we believe in Him and ask Him in our hearts and lives, He comes to live in our hearts and we receive the Holy Spirit. One such reference that the Father and Son live within us is (John 14:22,23) . Jesus is also known as the Lion of Judah, not a tiger. The lion is the king of the jungle, and Jesus is known as the King of kings and Lord of Lords. By the way, God turns away fron sorcery, as in tarot cards, and warns us to stay away from it. Saul lost his kingdom because of it., and anointing of God. There is so much more, but this is a beginning.

patricia720 says:	February 12, 2015 at 7:11 am	I see the lamb as the “actualizes self” and the tiger “the shadow” -the dark side. Life becomes the game to balance the two. Neither, is good or bad both, have their place in the evolution of consciousness. Carl G. Jung put it this way, “Bringing to conscious what hides in the unconscious.”
VIKRAM ROY says:	February 12, 2015 at 8:36 pm	Patricia, you said my heart. Tiger represents the ignorance and Lamb learns to accept the hideous world full of tigers. Reply

Here is something that I have always dreamed of owning.....ONE day...I told my husband our 14th anniversary is coming up this month and I think that a Mustang is what you give for 14 wedding anniversary presents! He just looked at me...oh well, I tried!
Seriously, as long as I have ever been given the right to drive I always wanted a Mustang. I have always driven a Ford car or van. But have never owned this sweet ride...
Our church had a car show last fall and one of the men showing his Shelby let me sit in the car and pretend that I was driving it!
I love a Mustang. I think I would look pretty cool riding around in this with three car seats, right! LOL! Seriously, I am perfectly content with my van...and it is paid for! Yea! Dave Ramsey would be proud!
One day, Shelby I will have you. I may be a grandmother, but one day....

Structure of the gating domain of a Ca2+-activated K+ channel complexed with Ca2+/calmodulin — Oregon Health & Science University
Maria A. Schumacher, Andre F. Rivard, Hans Peter Bächinger, John P. Adelman
Small-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels (SK channels)1,2 are independent of voltage and gated solely by intracellular Ca2+. These membrane channels are heteromeric complexes that comprise pore-forming α-subunits and the Ca2+-binding protein calmodulin (CaM). CaM binds to the SK channel through the CaM-binding domain (CaMBD), which is located in an intracellular region of the α-subunit immediately carboxy-terminal to the pore3,4. Channel opening is triggered when Ca2+ binds the EF hands in the N-lobe of CaM4. Here we report the 1.60 Å crystal structure of the SK channel CaMBD/Ca2+/CaM complex. The CaMBD forms an elongated dimer with a CaM molecule bound at each end; each CaM wraps around three α-helices, two from one CaMBD subunit and one from the other. As only the CaM N-lobe has bound Ca2+, the structure provides a view of both calcium-dependent and -independent CaM/protein interactions. Together with biochemical data, the structure suggests a possible gating mechanism for the SK channel.

Maternal Mayhem: Storytime at the Library
Monday mornings at our local library is Tiny Tots Storytime. It's a half hour session for children 0-3years, although there are often older siblings around too. It consists of 4 or 5 books about a specific 'theme' (eg: beach, animals etc) a few songs and nursery rhymes, a small craft project and then a general play session for half an hour or so while everything gets packed up. Best of all - it's FREE!
Zeke absolutely LOVES it. He doesn't always sit and listen to the books, but really enjoys the singing, and the social aspect. This week our theme was animals, and we read 5 books about different animals, mostly jungle ones. The books are all very engaging, brightly coloured and contained a lot of animal noises so the librarian had to be very enthusiastic, roar like a lion, trumpet like an elephant, screech like a monkey etc, which the kids loved!
The craft project is very simple as a rule, we had a paper cutout monkey, which was coloured and then attached to paddle pop stick and a peice of string to make a puppet. Zeke is a little small for that - he ripped the monkey's foot off twice and tried to eat it, but he had a go at the colouring (he bangs the crayon on the paper) and now that it's finished enjoys watching the monkey bobbing around on its string.
The social play session afterwards is Zeke's favourite. They have bead frames to play with, which he loves, as we don't own one yet ourselves, and the other kids mill around, chat and crawl. It's a fun, if not noisy time, and Zeke really gets into it. Yesterday he saw another baby about 5 metres (a little over 16ft!) away and went shuffling over at light speed to say hello. He & his new friend (who was a little shy when confronted with my shrieking, in-your-face son!) had a bit of a baby-chat, and I got to have a talk to the other mums as well.
I get a few blank looks when I tell people I take a 7-month old to story time, so why do it?
As a SAHM it's important for your sanity to get out of the house occasionally and have fun.
It's a wonderful social opportunity for you, you can meet some other mums in your local area, and make friends.
It's a great chance after the session to return your books and pickup a couple of new ones for yourself
Sitting and listening to another person reading I have found to be much easier than trying to hold a squirming child and a book at the same time
If like me, your Library is within walking distance, (and has paid parking!) leave the car at home, get out the pram and have a stroll
The songs and books covered are a combination of old favourites and as some new ones, refreshing your memory and teaching you some new ones as well
The simple, cheap (and relatively mess-free) craft ideas are easily replicated at home on a rainy day
You don't have to spend a cent to have a nice morning out!
It encourages an early love of reading and books for children, which will give them many benefits as they begin school, and start to get out in the world on their own. This site has some information on the benefits and other ways to promote literacy in your child.
For older children it can help their reading and language development, and introduce new words and concepts to them
For pre-verbal children like Zeke, it's a great chance to 'study' the art of conversation, listening to the rise and fall of the librarian's voice as she reads, and listening to the other children coo, laugh and sing
Imagination is never far away. "Can you roar like a lion?" "What would YOU do if you had a pet monster?" etc... the kids are encouraged to be creative and think outside the square
It teaches a range of social skills, to be quiet when someone else is talking, taking and waiting turns, sitting down in a group, sharing etc. (Zeke is a little young to grasp this, but I still encourage him to sit down during the story like everyone else rather than standing up and holding onto me)
As well as teaching new social skills, it gives your bub a chance to practise them with the other children.
The art projects require hand-eye co-ordination, imagination and give them something to take home to show Daddy. (Or Mummy if Daddy takes them!)
Most libraries have some form of storytime for children, and it's free, easy and fun. Why not ask at yours and find out?
Some pictures from our most recent session:
Zeke playing with the bead frame shortly before going to say hi to the other babies
Exhausted in the pram after our walk home
His puppet monkey... note all the stickytape holding it together!

Music in Travel, Travel in Music	Posted on October 29, 2011	by Andrew J. Sammut Friends and readers have asked what type of music I went to hear during three weeks in Turkey. The honest answer is “none.” The country indulged my ignorance of where to go for music, and graciously accepted my time constraints given the acres of ruins, landscapes and markets to experience. Despite not attending any concerts or clubs, despite never seeking out music, Turkish music found me.

You asked for it! We are now serving two more ounces of our Tri Tip Sandwich in this 9 inch bun, topped with your choice of BBQ sauce. Things just got real.

We just wanted to wish you a Happy Halloween from us. This is always a fun time of year and we loved seeing all your costumes over the past week. Hope you ate more candy than you're willing to admit!
Goths gotta eat too
These cups described all of the night crew's costumes. Can you guess what they were?
That's Josh, saving stomachs one burger at a time.
That's Derek, just being Amish and probably making you a salad.
That's Alex, just scaring you into buying food.

Cubby's Quinoa of the Week
If you haven't heard yet, we started serving quinoa as a side dish. Whoop! Every week there is a new and amazing mix made by our head chef, so come try it out. Oh, and ignore that little guy. He just loves our quinoa so much that he can't keep his stinkin' paws off the stuff. We've contacted local authorities about it already, you can put your phone down.

Vivint Catering
I know what you've been wondering, and yes--Cubby's caters. We're actually pretty keen on it. Just yesterday we fed a colossal amount of human beings at an event for our good pals over at Vivint. Check it out!
That's our seasonal Mixed Berry Chicken Salad, and a lot of it.
See, I told you it was a colossal amount of humans.

The Holy War between Utah and BYU was held in Provo this year. Needless to say we had quite the turnout before the game, feeding both sides of the battlefield.

Our Expansion is up and running. We've added a whole new side of 40+ seats so now you can eat like a king. We are also expanding our line so on the weekends so you won't have to be going out the door to wait for your cubby's food. We are also in the works of opening a store in the Meadows in American Fork, Utah.

Here's some pictures of our salads. They are a hit with the ladies (and the guys). The salads are made with organic grains and fresh cheeses. Our most popular salad is the tri tip steak salad, but the rest of them are close competition.

Anthony & Sharon: Boys' Room- AFTER photos!
Boys' Room- AFTER photos!
The first room in our house is finally complete! I realize these pics are slow in coming and the 7 or so of you who cared at one point might have dwindled...but here they are nonetheless!
A reminder of the before... geometry and half-blue walls... ...standing by the bathroom door...
...standing in corner with small window looking toward bathroom...
From doorway. (one of the big problems with this room is the hot morning sun coming in the big window and the hot afternoon sun coming in the little one...we think we fixed it;) ...in corner with small window looking towards bathroom (standing on Zay's bed:) I wanted a bigger rug for their room but the "Lightning McQueen" rug was given to them by the childcare workers in Bali. Free is free and the boys love it! From bathroom through doorway...
The toy shelf. ...standing beside wardrobes looking toward beds :) Personalized art work...
...and the reason we did it all! :) These two sweet boys!
I will do a "The Making of..." posts for
1. The curtains (well, the valances)
2. The framed artwork
3. The toy shelf
The valance is the only thing with actual "steps" to it, but my husband, the boys, our neighbors, and Kaylee all helped make the room happen, so I want to give credit where credit is due. For now enjoy the done-ness!
SERIOUSLY cute!! great job!! love the personalized artwork and the matching quilts! So this is making me realize that one day I'm going to want matching quilts for my boys' room and that means...uh...what do I do with the homemade one I have for salem?!? :)great job!!
I really like the colors you used for the boys' room... and the way the bed frames / night stand matches the grating on the windows! So fun!
Love it! It is perfect for your boys! What fun they will have in that room:)Great job, team.
I love it! I really like their quilts and their toy shelf. I think Asher might hurt somebody for that Lightning McQueen rug. The boy is obsessed.
Wow that looks AWESOME!! If decorating where you are can be as difficult as it was in India, then I am even MORE impressed. I love those colors, too!
Hello Pottery Barn! You did a fabulous job on their room. I have been wanting to put up some personalized art in the boys' room, sure wish I was home to get on that :) Did you bring your quilts from the US?? I have been waiting to buy the boys quilts cause I wasn't able to find what I wanted at IKEA.
LOVE IT! So cute!!!!Is that "Uno Moo" on your shelf??Very cute!
Everything looks perfect! I really like the "punch" the toy shelf brings to the room. And those quilts sure have been one of your best investments! I'm curious to see if Immanuelle's room gets the next make-over or if the "rents" room does. My money is on the baby's room. BTW- I used some of the IKEA skills I learned at your house this summer putting your sister's new kitchen table together. :-)
Everything is so cute. You are quite the decorator. I love all the colors you picked. Hope you're feeling good. Take care of yourself and don't work too hard.Marylou (from Texas)
