The Last Mimzy was a kids movie. The special effects were done as well as any blockbuster film for the summer. To say the least they were integral to the plot

of the movie considering it was a SciFi effort. The child actors were proficient, the girl having the greater screen presence. Her eyes were electric. The boy looked like a Henry Thomas, of E.T. fame, clone.

The one actor who shined above all others was Kathryn Hahn. I've not seen her work elsewhere but would like to. I'll do some IMDB searching to find out her body of work. Kathryn held me transfixed in every one of her scenes. She was in awe of her surroundings just as the character should be. It was her efforts that sold the magical scenes of kids doing extraordinary things. She gets my vote for best in show.

The movie is more for kids than anyone else. I reccomend you DVD rental this one. Its not anything more than a nice fantasy for those able to suspend their disbelief. I liked it. I needed the break.

One thing you can say about my mom, she knew how to have a good time.




My motives for cleaning this property as I did are being questioned. I had expected that. That's just fine with me, I heard my Mom say thank you for what I did, that's what I did it for. Not for a pat on the back from my father who cannot see anything but threat from the slightest kindness.

Sadly, he thinks I don't love or care for him. It's not possible to make it known. A suspiscious mind is never satisfied with the truth.

FIRST: I want to thank my fine family for increasing the number of readers of my blog from two to at least four, maybe five.

In the last two weeks I've made an effort to keep my resolve to do what is in my power to make things more inviting hereabouts. A lot was done. All it takes is someone to take the initiative, and a little guilt, to motivate others. The good weather and a working chain saw helped!

Trees were trimmed and garbage taken to the dumps. A great change took place in the appearance of the grounds hereabouts. The result is a more relaxed feeling and a much better looking environ. It is such a change that most have suffered a shock at the disparity from what was, to what is.

I know that Mom would have been thrilled. I think we all feel that way. (Forgive me if some feel I speak for them in saying that, I fear I am too bold.)

This is a sight that hasn't been seen for over twenty years. Now that the huge
trailer belonging to my aunt is out of the way and the junk that was under it has been taken to the dumps or rearanged, the place looks more like it did in the 1980's when we moved here.

Three truck and trailer loads were taken to the dumps to accomplish this cleanup. It took me over an hour each time to unload it by myself. I expected to do it by myself so I wasn't surprised as I was watched with suspicious eyes. It doesn't matter, I have the satisfaction of knowing I got the ball rolling and did what I could. Talk is cheap. Action breeds action. We had some action around here this month and it was very beneficial.

I don't know that there is much more that can be done. Incedental things can be cleaned up here and there and I will make myself available. Beyond that, you faithful readers will have to guess at what comes next! You could always read into it and make shit up if you need to.

Here is a movie that was, for me, engrossing. I was taken under the spell of the story and its layerd unfolding. Hugh Jackman has become a true movie star in this film.

Nothing is more frustrating than to read reviews of a film that totally misrepresent it. They speak of this as a time travel film. Such idiocy is hard to comprehend. Where do they get that? It's one long allegory.


I won't spoil it. It isn't about time travel, we'll leave it at that. I would highly reccomend it to all.

I'm attempting to make my living space a little more user friendly. The trash I am surrounded with on all sides is a little draining. It is ugly and discloses a disheveled state of mind. It is the sad dumping ground of the unfinished project. Worse than that it is the land of the NEVER begun project. All the great deals and all the big plans are talk and no action. I want things to be more inviting and not so anti-life oriented.

There are often things you cannot fight, among them are the authority over you when it is unreasonable. I accept that and will not stress over it too much if possible. Now I need to just pull back and see things for what they are and not what I want them to be, unless of course it is within my power.
