New Movie Monday (on Tuesday)
OK so once again nothing that I saw struck my fancy this week. But I have seen a couple of trailers for this one and all I can say is "WOW!" I love the Coen brothers, Jeff Bridges and Josh Brolin. Here it is "True Grit", enjoy.

New Movie Monday (on Tuesday)
I've been away for awhile but here is one I think is just one of the most visually stunning things I've seen.
Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole

New Movie Monday
As you know, I am excited about the release of Scott Pilgrim but I wanted to go a different direction today. There will be more about Scott Pilgrim later. I really want to see The Expendables. Not because it looks like an Oscar worthy flick but it takes me back to the action movies of my adolescent days. It reminds me of Rambo, Commando, Predator, Die Hard. You get the idea. Well here it is, The Expendables.

New Movie Monday
OK so its not Monday, but I got busy yesterday and didn't get around to this. I looked over the movies coming out this week and quite frankly was underwhelmed. Salt looks ok but nothing to write home about. So, I decided to go ahead and start pumping up Scot Pilgrim. Hope you enjoy. More to come from Mr. Pilgrim.

Book Blogger Hop: July 9-12
Jennifer at Crazy For Books is hosting another Blog Hop. Its a great way to get to know some other blogs and find some new faves. Just follow the link and list your site.
Her question this week is to talk about our favorite authors and why the are our favorites.
My answer: Its hard to say who my faves are but one would have to be Pat Conroy (Prince of Tides, Lords of Discipline). His stories are usually set in South Carolina along the coast or the coastal marshlands. He does a beautiful job or painting the scene. I can almost taste the salt air and smell the marshes. He also brings to life psychological struggles that the characters have. Very intense stuff from him.
Another of my faves is Michael Crichton (Jurassic Park, Sphere). He has the perfect blend of techno-babble and storytelling to keep geeks like me satisfied.
Douglas Adams is also a favorite author of mine. As anyone who has read the WHOLE Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy trilogy of 5 books can tell by the title of my blog. The whole sort of general mish mash came from the final book Mostly Harmless. He had a very funny British wit about his stories along with some interesting scientific ideas.

What's New
OK, so I have started my annual-something-new-Harry-Potter-is-coming-out-so-I-must-re-read-the-entire-series-again re-reading of the Harry Potter series, so I am not going to bore you with yet another review of the series as a whole or each book individually. I think that has been done ad nauseum by now. Now if certain flights of fancy take me and I feel the need to elaborate these thoughts I may venture there. Lets just see where the wind may take us.

Book Blogger Hop: July 2-5
Book Blogger Hop: July 2-5
I've only been blogging for about a week but I am excited at the possibilities. My wife just started her book blog and suggested I do one on movies. I didn't want to limit myself to just movies so I started WSOGMM(Whole Sort of General Mish Mash) barrowed from Douglas Adams. I love to talk about books, movies, books made into movies, music, whatever is on my mind. Hopefully you will like what you see and will come back. Thanks for stopping.
Go here to join the tour http://www.crazy-for-books.com/2010/07/book-blogger-hop-july-2-5-2010.html
Life Is Wasted On The Living
"Life is wasted on the living." These words are spoken by Zaphod's great-grandfather in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe (part of The Hitchhiker's Guide tothe Galaxy), but I sometimes think they're true. Do we really live life to its fullest? I know I don't. I let all the little things, the minutia, bring me down. Its like we reach out to take hold of things because they may just be too good. We start looking over our shoulder for the proverbial boogieman that is going to ruin our day instead of soaking up the precious moments that are there everyday. The Bible says in Matthew 6:25-34,
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? And why do you worry about clothes? See how
the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father
knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
I see people with this on decorative stones or pictures, "Live, laugh , love." What better sentiment than this for our daily lives. Go live your life. Laugh at all the little things . Love those around you with your inmost being. Relish in the laugh of your son, your daughter snuggling up in your lap, the quiet of an early Sunday morning, the peaceful sound as the rain hits the roof. In these moments you can see the Kingdom of God like never before, if you are looking. Lets look for these windows to the heart of God.
