Which Way Today?

You can take the high road, the low road,

or a meandering one between.

So what do you say,

which way today?

up or down

The stars.

King of California - (Thank you, Sheila...I will return it soon...I promise....I'm so lame. I promise I'll return it...I don't promise that I'm lame.) Fun little movie. Fun and sad. Slow, but not too slow. Michael Douglass was great.

Vantage Point - I love Forest Whittaker. I liked this movie. But I think it could have been modified so as to not drive me insane just before the action really kicked in. I liked the idea and I liked the stories...but there were too many vantage points of the noon hour. The news one was not needed, nor was the president's - I think those vantage points could have been rolled into other parts of the movie. Overall, I enjoyed it.

Peaches, honey, a sweater, and sprite

About a month ago I attended a knitting night on Capitol Hill. It was very nice...yet very sad...it was Missy's last knitting night on Saipan.

Susan, our hostess, served us peaches and honey with fresh lemon juice. It was so good! I'd never had it before. But now, I'm putting honey and lemon on all my fruits. Yum!

I casted on for a cardigan that night. I haven't had much time to work on it since, except during breaks at my conference last week....this is as far as I've gotten:

Call it an obsession, I call it good.

Gotcha Macha, originally uploaded by Deece.

Penelope - Very cute! A lovey modern day fariy tale that the whole family will enjoy. A great story about societal views and vices. Pretty scenes, humor, compassion, and quirky characters. I would like to own this movie.

Wall e - cute!

Hungry like the wolf.

I'm sick. And when I'm sick, I eat. I eat a lot. I eat cookies and salad, chocolate and sandwiches, I eat candy and chicken (notice the first item in each of those pairings). I eat. I eat a lot. Generally, I find that people lose weight when they get sick. Not me. I can put food away! If I didn't feel so crappy, I just might make and eat a whole one of these.

Yesterday was the last day of our conference. Did you know that it's very hard to remember what to say (even with notes) when you're standing on a stage in front of 200-some people and you can feel your sinuses fill and you can only hope that you don't sneeze and blow mucus (that's moo-coose) all over the mic just in time to hand it over to the lunchtime keynote speaker?

MC Deece

All week this week I'm attending a conference that is providing continuing professional education. I am the Emcee. MC Deece. You sucka MCs got nothin' on me! It was fun emcee-ing on the opening day, but you know how it goes, everything is 20/20 in hindsight.

Gus was there on Monday. He sang the national and CNMI athems during the opening ceremony. He was awesome! And he came back and provided a little lunch-time entertainment, island style. A man, a mike, and a uke. It was lovely.

Did you know that saying the word "fraud" over and over makes it lose it's meaning? G'on, try it. Fraud, fraud, fraud, fraud, fraud....sounds silly right?

WRONG! Fraud is never silly, it's very serious business, people.

And so I leave you with more peace from green tea:

That tasty Macha Bar can be found at Expressions on Capitol Hill. Just leave one for me...

The babies are coming! The babies are acoming!

Cold war comedy reference. Anyone? Anyone?

I'm surrounded by pregnant women. I occasionally worry that I'll turn into that one person who just. pisses. them. off. Come on, moms, you know what I'm talking about. That one person who does nothing to you except smile and all you can do in response is roll your eyes?

Yeah, I don't want to be her.

Bangs and buckteeth

Here are my new bangs....

What Not To Wear - NOT

I decided not to post this on my Deece's Pieces page, even though it is a piece made by Deece. Why? Because I wanted to show off my adult shoes, of course.

Ignore the messes in the background. Focus, instead, on the pretty skirt I made (and the cute shoes too).

(Sorry about the quality...the pictures were taken with my phone.)

Welcome to the Wednesday What Is It? Round 3

What is it?

Here's how to play:
Every Wednesday I will post a small part of a picture of some object. You tell me what you think the object is. You have until I post the next Wednesday What Is It? to submit your guess by leaving a comment.

Submit one guess per person; you may not change your guess - your first guess is your final guess. Please be specific. Don't say, it's food; instead say, it's a chocolate chip cookie.

The first person with the correct answer will receive 5 points, all other correct answers earn 2 points.

On the following Wednesday I'll post the answer along with the results, which will be tracked in the sidebar.

The first person to 35 points wins something homemade/handmade by Deece. I'll mail it to you if you live off island.

Let's play!

Congratulations Tamara! You are the winner of the Wednesday What Is It? Round 2. Send me an email at create (at) deece (dot) net so I can reply with info on your prize.

(You know I've given chances to others....I'm a softie at heart. Ok, Tami, no more chances, in the next round, your first answer is your final answer. :)

I've seen it all!

Semi-Pro - I think I fell asleep before it ended. It was fine. Will Farrell has done better. But whatever.

Drillbit Taylor - This was funnier than Semi-Pro. It was cute, it was funny, it's a movie. If you watch it on DVD, watch the outtakes....now staring contest, turn to the person next to you! Too funny!

Be Kind Rewind - I liked this. It was funny. It was entertaining. And endearing in a sense.

10,000 BC - I don't care what people did or didn't say about this movie. I liked it. Don't watch it as if it were a historical account. Watch it like you watch a love story, a coming of age story, a journey to another place...another time. Watch it like you watch a movie, a movie meant to entertain. Don't ask questions or try to figure it out, just watch it.
