Go GREEN. Read from THE SCREEN. |

Watched Live and Let Die, the movie that freezes Roger Moore in time between youth and the onset of ageing. This movie shows him at the peak of his beauty. Unfortunately the Bond women here give the worst performances I've ever seen, and many of the scenes are disjointed.
Love the scenes set in New Orleans and the Caribbean. A restaurant named Fillet of Soul, a store called Oh Cult Voodoo Shop, and an actual villain named Baron Samedi. Uninformed and ridiculous use of Tarot cards, and a gross misunderstanding and misrepresentation of voodoo.
The producers stepped up a lot of comedy and then decided to end everything like a horror movie.

Watched A View to a Kill, which I saw on the big screen more than a decade ago. All I remembered from it were scenes of Grace Jones. This one also has a very young Christopher Walken (looking very different from his appearance in Sleepy Hollow) and Tanya Roberts (of the latter Charlie's Angels TV series).
The more I see scenes of Q, the more he is like Bruce Wayne's Alfred.
My viewing was fraught with interruptions. J. arrived with some food and ingredients that Angelique and he are cooking for dinner. Kanade and her boyfriend, Pot, came to visit under a drizzle. G. messaged me to inform me that she was able to find something I'd been looking for in Makati. Then Aubrey arrived from university--and left again to meet up with friends to begin her weekend.
That's the third DVD in my Roger Moore collection.
I have another Roger Moore set of four (Live and Let Die, The Man with the Golden Gun, The Spy Who Loved Me, and Moonraker), but I've really had enough 007 for the day.

"It is the evening of the day,/
I sit and watch the children play./
Smiling faces I can see/
But not for me,/
I sit and watch as tears go by./
"My riches can't buy everything,/
I want to hear the children sing./
All I hear is the sound/
Of rain falling on the ground,/
I sit and watch as tears go by./
"It is the evening of the day,/
I sit and watch the children play./
Doing things I used to do/
They think are new,/
I sit and watch as tears go by./"

Yesterday was Angelique's last exam day. She had dinner out with her classmates after. Today she is at the salon, for which I am spending thousands.
When I was in graduate school I stayed home after grueling exams. It is at home that I find my solace, my security, and my self.
I go out shopping when there are no exams.
I think, that is more expensive.

Your Messenger message:
"Hi Sir Tony there is this one scene from my dream last night. Me and my mom went to somewhere in which is seemingly our old house which is now unresided. There was someone who warned us of snakes in the house. We were probing the house and then suddenly we noticed small snakes in a bottle. We walked up the stairs and then there was a black cobra who was following us, like a predator chasing its prey. It stood up and managed to wrap itself around my arm. My mom was able to get it out of my arm and I was not bitten. She was able to kill it 1st cobra. Suddenly there was another 1 that was following us, its flaps were open. We were able to escape from the house. Suddenly the scene shifted. I was with my girl friend. We were in a seemingly lrt 2 station. And when the train came, it was a wide one, maybe thrice the size of a normal lrt2 cart. There was a change in scenery instead of manila, the train was suddenly running onn a scenic view much like a mountanous shoreline. Hope you can enlighten me on this dream Sir. Thank you and regards."
My reply:
Hello _____!
Your psyche tells you to cleanse yourself of the past in order to enable you to travel into a future of true happiness.
The dream seems to indicate that many of your dark quirks are rooted in your childhood. I am reading that you were introduced to these by an older relative or friend. Your escape from the house is good, it is an indication that you are able to transcend everything that happened in your past.
I am also reading a parallelism between your mother and your girl friend. It is possible that they share many positive traits, including their attitude to you.

Now that I am retired and finally enjoying life, I wonder why my former classmates and contemporaries are frenziedly working and grasping at every opportunity to be gainfully occupied. It just doesn't make sense to me.
Retirement is all about me. It is the time to be whatever I want to be (not that it wasn't even before I retired). Nobody can tell me what to think, say, and do (not that anybody could even before I retired).

Watched For Your Eyes Only, the first Roger Moore in my set. It was nice to hear Sheena Easton sing the title song once again. This movie begins with James Bond placing roses on his wife's grave. Exciting and fast-paced, but that pet parrot providing a verbal clue is quite corny--I see it everywhere, including in a TinTin comic book.
And must remind everyone that this is a collectible, sexist-era James Bond movie. They can't make movies like that anymore.

Like all governments and all educational systems, all religions were crafted by men. Do not get tired of questioning them. Those men might have been more intelligent than you, but they were not necessarily right, for being right and being wrong are always in the context of the times.
Do not live in a world where you survive only by blindly following rules. Be truly intelligent.
