» Posted By Chernynkaya On January 2, 2010 @ 5:34 pm What do I win? ;~) I watched it all the time as a kid, but had no idea WTF was going on. And what was that orb thing? » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 2, 2010 @ 5:31 pm Dreams designed by Dal » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 2, 2010 @ 5:22 pm kes, that skit was truly brilliant! I still laugh. » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 2, 2010 @ 5:17 pm Dobie Gillis– I never missed it! Maynard G. Crebs stole the show, and his wanna-be “girlfriend{, Sheila Something, has been a City Council member in LA for decades. » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 2, 2010 @ 5:17 pm Yes– and a wonderful soundtrack too. » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 2, 2010 @ 5:15 pm Two greats! Bette Davis eyes! » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 2, 2010 @ 5:14 pm I can’t get off this blog, KQ! One of the best movies– Harold and Maude. here’s a quote I love: “A lot of people enjoy being dead. But they » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 2, 2010 @ 5:05 pm I love every one of those– Baby! » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 2, 2010 @ 4:51 pm The Prisoner? » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 2, 2010 @ 4:51 pm Oh, sorry, Javez– both are from Casablanca– maybe my favorite of all movies. The first is, “I’m shocked, SHOCKED that there is gambling going on here!” and the second is the song, La Marseillaise, sung in response to a Nazi song. » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 2, 2010 @ 4:50 pm How many times have we all used this quote?
But this scene makes me cry EVERY GODDAM TIME!:
» Posted By Chernynkaya On January 2, 2010 @ 4:35 pm It is really a brilliant movie. » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 2, 2010 @ 4:31 pm “To Be Or Not to Be” in the original too, it a GREAT movie! Javez, we share the same sense of humor! » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 2, 2010 @ 4:29 pm I actually say these movie quotes in everyday life: “Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.” » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 2, 2010 @ 4:27 pm KQ– this is too much fun! » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 2, 2010 @ 3:43 pm Me? Mad?!! Nope, but my computer died, I went into withdrawal and had the DT’s ( kidding) and got a new laptop, which I am still getting used to! I love you guys– you’re stuck wid me. » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 2, 2010 @ 3:34 pm ROFLMAO!!! Hi Javez!!Happy New Year!! » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 2, 2010 @ 3:32 pm Hi PePe– i missed you guys while my computer died! 1-Matrix » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 2, 2010 @ 3:24 pm The Infantilization of America Exactly. Until we look death in the face, we are never really alive. » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 2, 2010 @ 8:50 pm I went to high school with Susan Bradbury. Poor thing looked just like her dad, but what really made her stand apart was that Ray wouldn’t allow a television in their home. (Smart guy!) Did you ever read a short story by him called, “The Veldt”? » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 2, 2010 @ 8:32 pm KQ, and kesmarn too, I think that the way we hide death in this society contributes to our infantalization as well. Apart from the existentialism we miss, it is very unhealthy psychologically. » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 2, 2010 @ 8:15 pm kes, I honestly wonder about that myself– if we are dumb I mean. My Magic Eight Ball sez, “All indications point to Yes.” But that can’t really be true. I think that if there is something to ‘American Exceptionalism” it’s that we really are a young country, and one where war was never on our soil.There is so lettle history here. I think the national psyche is different, and I think those two factors make us– not dumb, exactly– but young and brash. » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 2, 2010 @ 4:14 pm Gosh– it’s so great to have a computer again so I can read this funny stuff, kes! The fact is, too many people deserve Darwin Awards. And if you’ve ever been to another country, you realize just how infantalized we Americans are. My son has for many years attended Burning Man, out in the desert. One of the main attractions for him is that there is some minor danger involved and no rules or warnings. Anyway, thanks for a great blog! » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 2, 2010 @ 3:50 pm Hmmm– this is real food for thought. This part year, one of my passions has become campaign finance reform. As Emerald said, it’s really crucial. I see all the corruption to our democracy from lobby money and corporate money, and I honestly feel we are in very serious danger of becoming a corporate state. But what would be a practical reform? We must somehow get to publicly financed campaigns, and that means the campaign season should be shortened too. I actually think that most of Congress would welcome that, as I bet they hate fund raising. How we get there though– short of a referendum, I have no idea. I will be looking into that though, and this is the boost I need. » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 2, 2010 @ 4:43 pm Welcome, tb92– glad to meet you! » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 2, 2010 @ 8:12 pm Dark Matter (WIMPS) the other Holy Grail in Particle Physics Kes and KQ– My son and I were having this conversation lately. We were talking about health care reform and I said I wondered how it was that Europe managed universal health care and we can » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 2, 2010 @ 7:19 pm Javaz and Kesmarn, I feel sorely lacking in insight or wisdom tonight, but I do feel very heartsick that you are going through this tough time, Javaz. Something in your story Kes, resonated in me, even though I was brought up as an only child. But we all have our stories, don’t we? Anyway, what I want to say is that when you are a child, it is necessary to believe in the absolute goodness of our parents. If our parents mistreat us in any way, the universe becomes incomprehensible and we can’t let it be that way. We– and again,when we are little–we will blame ourselves and never them. We grow up then believing that we have done something unforgivable, because it is easier than believing the universe (our family) is unjust. But it is. I have had to try to come to terms with that, and that is why your stories resonated. Neither of you did anything unforgivable or wrong. Others did, and you, in your childlike search for understanding, maybe you both believed that you were to blame. The world seems fairer that way to a little person. Anyway, I, of course, can be really off-base with all this, but please believe my heart reaches out to yours. » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 7, 2010 @ 7:18 pm I am so glad for you and for us all! Thank you, Javaz! My vote is you should use it because it is spoken as a word and it has so much emotional power. Either way, though it’s not something I have a real strong opinion about–just my two cents worth. » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 7, 2010 @ 6:05 pmComments Posted By Chernynkaya
