I live in the borders between. Total nerd & crackpot. Musician (electric harp, synth, etc.) interested in too many things: food, drink, nature, astronomy, history, languages, anthro-archaeo-paleontologies, movies (SFF-horror-comedy-arthouse), books, etc.!

In a few million years, none of this will matter, nor even leave any trace. I find that a comfort.

Francis Young had already gotten me interested in visiting the Baltic nations for reasons of religion and history. I think you have now made such a trip inevitable.

Makes me think of the scene in the movie "Real Genius" where the lecture hall is filled with students' tape recorders, not students, and then the camera shows that the lecture itself is just being played by a tape recorder

‘Brady Bunch’ house, used in exterior shots for the popular sitcom, gets LA landmark status - The Boston Globe The LA city council has voted unanimously to designate the the so-called "Brady Bunch" house in the San Fernando Valley as a historic-cultural monument.

The fact that they rebuilt the interior of the house to match the show's set is the very definition of our American reality.

Hi Oliver. My apologies for taking this route, but BackerKit doesn’t respond to my queries about an NESS problem. This is
the only way I know of to contact you directly. Can you DM me so we can iron out this difficulty?

The walls of a shale and sandstone gorge, carved out by water. It looks like decaying fortifications, towers, ramparts. Trees grow from the top.

We've had three warm days since the snow, and I've already seen my first snake (a garter), and my first butterfly (a mourning cloak) of the year. Is that sudden? It seems sudden.

That's what makes the new version of that classic Dumas tale, which is running on PBS here in the States, so very good. Edmond retains an edge, a distance from his enemies, that I find wholly convincing. They are not best buds. Kudos to director Bille August. 2/2 #FilmSky

One movie cliche that I've found increasingly tiresome is the "Big Bad Pretends to Be Your Friend." They may be copying "The Count of Monte Cristo," or copying copies of it. Sorry, but few people in real life could possibly carry off such a charade. 1/2 #MovieSky

Cocoa farmers in Ghana and Ivory Coast face bitter times as chocolate market slumps Chocolate bars may have shot up in price but West Africa's cocoa farmers are facing economic ruin.

Cocoa prices were ridiculously high for a couple of years and the farmers didn't benefit because they were given the government price. Now prices have dropped below the government price and the companies won't pay it
Any way you slice it the farmers are screwed. Awful.

The Great Wisteria at Ashikaga Flower Park
This breathtaking photograph captures the legendary Great Wisteria tree at Ashikaga Flower Park in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. The ancient tree, over 150 years old, is shown in full bloom, its massive canopy creating an immersive world of purple. Long, delicate racemes of lavender-colored flowers hang vertically from a high overhead trellis, forming a dense, floral curtain that seems to descend from the sky.

The ground beneath the tree is completely carpeted in fallen purple petals, mirroring the floral ceiling above and creating a seamless environment of color. In the center, the tree's dark, twisted trunk rises from a small mound, supported by a network of thin poles that are barely visible through the thick layers of blossoms. The soft, diffused lighting enhances the ethereal quality of the scene, making the sprawling 2,000-square-meter canopy appear like a living, organic sculpture of violet light.

The famous Great Wisteria tree at Ashikaga Flower Park in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. Often cited as one of the most beautiful trees in the world, this specific wisteria is over 150 years old and its massive floral canopy spans nearly 2,000 square meters.
