We went and saw Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. We all thought it was great. Again, as I love to hear, the kids stated that the books are better! One thing I wish they would have continued, since "Lemony Snicket" (played by Jude Law) was narrating, was the use and explanation of "BIG WORDS." The books are excellent, but they did a really good job with combining 3 books into 1 movie.
One thing I cannot stand though is non-reading adult reviewers and certainly non-children's-books-reading adult reviewers have stated that "if you like Harry Potter..." I have a couple statements for that: LEMONY SNICKET'S SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS IS NOTHING LIKE HARRY POTTER SERIES! First off, there are THREE children whose parent were murdered; The setting is NOT Britian but the US; The children are NOT witches, wizards nor do they have any magical abilities; NO ONE is saving these kids from a terrible man and his cronies except THEMSELVES and their supreme thirst for knowledge, the retention and application of said knowledge. I love both series very, very much. That is why I wanted my kids to read them. That is why I read children's books, besides my own enjoyment. I hate to think of either of them being tainted by someone's ignorant suggestions. My friend asked me once how I am able to just shut off one issue and just not think on it until I want. It is somewhat easy. It is something I read that men do. They have a “file drawer” system in their minds and when something is done, like work, promo dinner, play, etc. they close the file and sometimes, lock it. I have a friend right now that is testing my friendship. I do not like being tested unless I know about it and I’m going to get something out of it. Unless we’ve come to a mutual testing agreement, I will buck the system and send a motherfucker on their merry way. I don’t have time for being tested as a good friend or not. I know that I am a good friend to a lot of people. Others, not so much. I won’t give too many excuses, but I feel that it is a lack of -communication, -directness and -expressing one’s wants that causes a friendship to go flat. As I have learned this for myself, I see if it’s necessary to add it into continuing and do add to any new relationships that arise. When I come across a person that isn’t where I’m at, I step gingerly, see if they may be open to how I do it and go from there. Right now, I think this person, who is a Grinch is trying to know there is someone out there that he has made feel as he does. Besides wanting to just cut ties altogether, I want to see if this is something he will work on without me. He can be as shitty as he wants, but he’d better hang out with people that know him like that. That is no way to win me over. Maybe he wants me to end the friendship. Like I said before, two weeks apart and we’re not off to a good start. I’m getting ready to simplify. In another setting and circumstance in which I have given and received, something like this would not be rewarded with interactive conversation at all. There would be a significant amount of prostrate positioning that may be painful but in no way would the Brat get what the Brat wanted...love, touch, words. It is like a child that will take positive or negative attention just to get any type of attention. Disengaging seems to be the only solution. Spanking is absolutely out. I feel the satisfaction I would get out of disciplining would be the Brat's cup of tea as well. No. You get's nothing. I even think my calendar is getting booked on 12/28. It may be after the New Year that I have time. holla@me
