More Words

Quick hits....the last couple of weeks I've gone to see a few movies:

1. Alien:Covenant-This movie made me nostalgic for the original movies. As much as I love Michael Fassbender...the movie was just meh.  Sorely disappointing. Made me miss Sigourney Weaver in a big way.  May just rent the first Alien movie to remind me of why I love Space Alien movies. *sigh*
2. My Cousin Rachel-I love period movies and I was really looking forward to seeing this film adapted from Daphne Du Maurier's novel. After seeing the actual film, there was so much wrong with the story line that I spent twenty minutes breaking down all the flaws. Rachel Weisz was quite stark and beautiful in her acting so she made it a little better. But Sam Clafin as Philip was just unbearable.  
3. Wonder Woman- I was really looking forward to this movie and I will admit it's better than most of the DC franchise. However, I wanted MORE from the film. I wanted some depth and for me it just skimmed the surface. I know fans of this film really LOVE it, just wish I did too.
4. Guardians of the Galaxy v2 - It was okay.  Decent sequel. But at this point, I'm just over the summer blockbusters and they've barely begun.  Not a good sign at all.  

That's all I have for tonight.  

Peace,

L~

For The Love...

I've been remiss in putting up entries the past couple of weeks. Let's see, what excuse might I try tonight? Actually no need for excuses. I've been spending time with family, friends, and trying to take care of myself in the process. I've started a new food plan to hopefully help me with my migraine condition. After one week on a very restrictive diet, I've started to notice small changes. They feel like small wins each day. There is a long list of "no" foods.  No grains, no beans, no corn, no tomatoes, no peppers, no dairy, no tofu etc, etc etc.  The list is long and despite my best efforts, I'm still not following it 100% quite yet.  I am doing it stages to acclimate. I hope by month's end, I can finally have a month without ONE migraine. Let's see how it goes.
Tonight, I rolled out my yoga mat and had a long slow yoga session. Yum. I am getting over a chest cold and despite the occasional cough...it felt good to unwind. I've been trying to get some time on the yoga mat every other day. I spend too many hours at a desk and need time to stretch my creaky body. I know this was a small entry but I've hit my wall and it's time for bed.
More words later...L~

Edvin Cobaj - The Hub

A co-worker of mine has a son, Edvin, who is a creative soul.  She shared some of his work with me and it made me smile down to my very toes. He's young and he's doing it for the sheer love of doing art. I have to share it because that's what we creatives do for one another. Pass it forward. Share. Send it out to a wider audience. Enjoy!  :-)  Peace, L~
