musings

recent events have left me dismayed, disgusted but not dis-illusioned. there is a lot of anger out there, and the more anger i see, the sadder i become. it leaves me feeling hopeless and small. and while petty people in this country are looking to mis-place blame for the actions of a madman, floods of biblical porportion are swallowing queensland, australia. again i feel hopeless and small.
so being small and heartless, i picked up my fiddle and went to the movies.
saw true grit - excellent film (i wasn't expecting much) with many laugh out loud moments. i also saw the kings speech. brilliant film, great acting, i cried and applauded. not being a film critic, i will just say i highly recommend both films.

i will post again when i am not feeling so small and hopeless.

With the exception of the movies, you took what was rattling through my head, right off my fingertips.

I could not put it to words.

Thank you...
