itty bitty Buddha on my PC

Why, you ask, do I collect Buddhas?

What? you didn't ask? ... uh, my mistake.

Actually, I have absolutely no idea. I'm just drawn to them. Someone tell me what that means please.

Another of my Buddha

yeah, so that's sitting on top of my Vepco/VA Power/Dominion (am I showing my age?) meter box. I figure I need all the help I can get!

The new Atlee Kroger... Beautiful!

I took this with my iphone on my first visit to the new Kroger store in our area. Their produce section was just gorgeous. The whole store is very nice. I hope it stays that way.

Fur...

Now for something completely different. Until now I thought Moulin Rouge! was Kidman's strangest movie, until "Fur..."

Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus

In 1958, in New York City, the upper class Diane Arbus is a frustrated and lonely woman with a conventional marriage with two daughters. Her husband is a photographer sponsored by the wealthy parents of Diane, and she works as his assistant. When Lionel Sweeney, a mysterious man with hypertrichosis (a.k.a. werewolf syndrome, a disease that causes excessive body hair), comes to live in the apartment in the upper floor, Diane feels a great attraction for him and is introduced to the world of freaks and marginalized people, falling in love with Lionel. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

The critics weigh in on both sides regarding this movie. Many on the down side, siting the "Imaginary" aspect. No matter, I liked it quite a bit... owing, I think, to the fact that some of the characters remind me of persons in my own life. Actually, in many ways I see myself in Kidman's character. Lionel (played by Robert Downey, Jr.) reminds me of someone very important in my life. None of this is because of physical comparisons. It's much more subtle than that and I won't elaborate on that other person's personality or that of the character Lionel.
I'd rather you watched it yourself. And please, come back and tell me what you thought.

Karaoke night

My fav KJ Amanda started a new gig at a new restaurant in town called Highwater. It overlooks the Kanawa Canal in a part of the city known
as Shockoe Slip. Really cool place!
