Sunshine and other randomocity

I almost accidently caught the film Sunshine on Syfy the other day.

I've been struggling with it, to be honest. It's science fiction but the science is so wonky--and that gives me trouble. However, it was so visually beautiful, and well-written and acted, that I finally decided I didn't care. So, I just bought it. I don't know when I'll actually get around to seeing it again--after watching the edited-for-television version the other day I was exhausted--but I have it now and can watch it anytime I please, thank you.

I couldn't find a link to the soundtrack album but that is also highly recommended. Beautiful, powerful music, and a perfect companion for concentration. Excellent stuff to write by. Or just to listen to. Lovely, lovely stuff.

For something completely unlovely my blogging buddy, Sauce, has been asked by Hooters--her employer--to take her blog down. She's very upset about it and I am, too--she's a gifted writer. I recommend you check her out while you still can: http://www.accordingtosauce.com/. I hope she'll continue blogging after removing all the Hooters paraphenalia and whatnot. It's Hooters' loss, really.

Have I mentioned that my amazing and talented goddaughter, Talyan, is going to be in a film? It's called Five and it'll air on Lifetime on October 10. I suggest you check it out. There are other people in it, too--you may have heard of some of them.

Seriously, it's going to be a really good movie--I'd want to see it even if she wasn't in it. She appears briefly in the trailer, too--you can see her face there around 40 seconds end. You can see it here: http://www.mylifetime.com/movies/five.

And while you're clicking links, check out my brand new tune, "Okay." http://www.reverbnation.com/play_now/song_10087292

Okay, I've given you enough homework for now. Check out Sunshine, check out Sauce's blog, check out  Five. You'll thank me for all of that.

First, a little bragging--the trailer for the film that Talyan, my goddaughter appears in is now available. Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZkPzlxnG6w&feature=youtu.be. You can see her face, briefly, at 0:42. She has dark hair and she's seven.  The film is called "Five" and will air on the Lifetime Network on October 10.  The song you'll hear is Linkin Parks' "Iridescent."

Just got back from my doc for a routine checkup--he was giving me grief for gaining weight. I don't really know what to say, other than, "So?" I've been fat all my life. I simply don't give a shit anymore. I've lost all the weight before and it really didn't make my life all that much better. So, to hell with it.

I've been working on a new tune--I got maybe a third of it done and decided I'm not happy with it. So, I'm redoing it. It'll be a lot better now than it would have been.

So, watch the trailer, let me know how adorable Talyan is, and keep your eyes and ears open for a new tune, coming up . . . sometime.
