It is so quiet here tonight, quess everyone went to bed.

[texanwitch]

I am working, yes I am.


Who else is up and about.

[Adsos Letter]

1. At what dost thou labor at this late hour, oh texanwitch?

[texanwitch]

5. I am back.

Same boring ass job I always do.

Paperwork, paperwork, and more paperwork.


It is a job.

[Ptah]

2. I did take a pic with flash. Hope you like it.

[texanwitch]

6. Pretty.

I have lots of sunflowers growing.

The big kind and smaller ones from the sunflower seeds I buy for the birds.


Giving the bees someplace to hang out.

[Ptah]

10. I've got the bee activity

[texanwitch]

12. I also have some kind of wild vine growing on the fence the bees like to.

It grows little balls that start green, then red and finally black.

There are lot of wild sunflowers growing in the railroad yard.

We have happy bees here.

[Ptah]

18. Happy bees sounds like a good thing.

[texanwitch]

24. Just trying to help them out.

My Grandmother always grew big sunflowers plants.

[Skittles]

3. you want I should kick your working ass, tw?

yes INDEED

[texanwitch]

7. It would keep me awake.

I didn't get my sleep today, just a couple short naps.

I am ready to crash right now.

[Adsos Letter]

27. And here is a flower for you, too, Skittles

[Skittles]

29. ooh

purty :hi:

[Ptah]

34. That's beautiful

Thank you

[kentauros]

4. I'm still up.

Just finished watching The Hill.
After all that intensity, I'm almost wired

[texanwitch]

8. I have beem meaning to watch that.

So much youtube, so little time.

[kentauros]

9. Someone posted the full movie there in 15 parts.

I originally saw it on TCM some months back.

One of the final comments also stated that it's only available in Region 2 DVD. So, I guess I'll have to rip me a copy :D

[texanwitch]

11. I have been surprised what movies I have found on you tube.

You never know.

I found the really scary Haunting of Hill House.

It was made 1963, black and white.

Scared the hell out me when I was little.

Still scary, best to watch in a dark house, no one home.

You don't see any ghost, that is the best.

[kentauros]

26. That's another favorite I got from TCM.

Even recorded it from them onto DVD, so I can share it :)
I've got Robert Osborn's commentary at the beginning and end as well.

I think the reason it works so well at scaring you is the use of sound. Almost everything is suggestion, so your imagination fills in the rest. Like that "face" on the wallpaper (or metal pattern, I couldn't tell which.) And then all the sounds in the hall, the upper floors and that "breathing" door they all watch. All the effects were superb :D


Oh, you should also look for Buñuel's El Ángel Exterminador (The Exterminating Angel) (1962)
That's a twisted premise and movie ;)

[texanwitch]

32. I watched the movie at sleep over with a friend on a dark and stormy night.

My friend's mother came in and scared us, she thougt it was funny.


She hide in the closet while we were watching the movie, the neighborhood must have heard us.

[Adsos Letter]

13. How about a virtual trip to The City By The Bay...

Looking towards SF from Fort Point.

[texanwitch]

16. Blue water.

At Galveston we have gray water until you go out a futher.

I was there in 1970 or 1969.

In August, it was cold.

Bart was being build at the time.

[Adsos Letter]

19. Summer is not the best time for The City

It can easily be either foggy, cold, or both. Spring and Fall are the best seasons.

It's really weird; I live about 35 miles from The City, and it can be 105* here and 70* there.

There are a bunch of micro-climates in the Bay Area.

[texanwitch]

22. At the motel we were staying at there was no AC, just a heater.

The boat ride was really cold, I had on a little windbreaker.

It was not enough.

[MajorChode]

14. I think I might be sleep posting

I wake up in the morning and find a bunch of incoherent postings made on my behalf and I have no idea how they got there.

[texanwitch]

17. I needed a Mexican coke to stay awake or I would have been sleep posting.

It is the night time, it is OK.

[MajorChode]

23. I'm thinking I might need some Mexican coke to stay up as well

Preferably from a gravy ladle used in lieu of a coke spoon.

[Adsos Letter]

15. Northern California Coast?

[texanwitch]

20. Wish I was there.

I could be walking on that beach with my dog.

[Adsos Letter]

21. My younger daughter at Salmon Creek Beach, just north of The City

[texanwitch]

28. Great picture.

We never got to go the any beach on the coastline.

My friend's father was afraid of the hippies for some reason, really.

We were begging to go to the beach the whole time.

Highway 1 was beautiful.

[Adsos Letter]

25. Well, nitey-nite; here is a flower for you...

[texanwitch]

30. Thanks for staying up.

Sleep tight.

[kentauros]

31. Here's a shot of the Moon from two nights ago:

[texanwitch]

35. Very pretty.

I like watching the moon.

I always enjoyed the full moon on the farm, it light up the place at night.

[kentauros]

36. I took that shot with my little point'n'shoot Canon

because the 12x optical lens is better than the kit lens on my XTi. When I'm working again, I'll have to look into getting a decent telephoto zoom.

And, unless you're using a telescope, the best times to take moonshots is when it's close to this stage, so you get more detail and don't over-expose :)

I think perhaps I am indeed going to bed now.

Don't stay up too late now :P
