...and I should have mentioned it yesterday in the update...I just finished reading (or re-reading - I'm pretty sure we either read the entire book (it's not long) or excerpts for some class in college)...Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness...
...the Man and I had several conversations about the book and the movie Apocalypse Now...you guessed it...that was the movie...
...I have of course seen the movie before...more than once...and I have watched the entire thing - unlike a lot of other disturbing movies...it was one of the weekly movies shown at the theater when I was at University...so that would have been the first time I saw it...also with the Man...and a bunch of his frat buddies...haha...and I think we probably watched it sometime in the mid-eighties with my sissie and her hubby...anywhoo...it was making me wish that I hadn't mentioned the book I was reading to him...if I'd known he was going to choose this movie I might not have...haha...not really possible for me as I can chatter on and on about most books I'm reading...right Mom?...
...and I think having just read the book...made it a little bit more disturbing...so I tried to knit most of the way through it...
...what have you been watching lately?...
~Have a lovely day!
It's wonderful to have food options when one doesn't feel like cooking. Those fruit ices sound delicious. I don't think I've seen the movie "Heart of Darkness" but we had to read that back in high school and it made a lasting impression on me. I bought the book a few years ago as I want to re-read it.Have you see the movie "African Queen" with Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn? It's quite good.
ReplyDeleteThe last movie I watched is called The Good Nurse with Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne. It's based on a true story. Quite disturbing but I know it happens. At least in this case there was a just outcome in the end. I won't spoil it in case you want to watch on Netflix. I also watched the Netflix series called The Watcher and I'm watching Fire Country on TV.
ReplyDeleteHey, we're still watching the Jack Ryan series. Your pizza looks delicious!! Love, K
ReplyDeleteThat pizza looks YUMMY. How nice that you've got local options! That's so silly about the sauce, though. I mean, if people are putting cheese ON a pizza does it really need to be in the sauce?! Anyways....
ReplyDeleteI chatter on and on about the books I'm reading, too. People kindly indugle me. :) The Heart of Darkness is one Matt has suggested to me, but is still on my to-read list.
