Here is my house from last year. Ignore the date stamp, I dropped the camera and the battery fell out and I didn’t bother to reset the date. Not much has changed about the house this year either - except the pumkins. I usually add […]

Yes, and you were a stone-cold paranoid nutbag in the 1990s if you believed ‘black helicopters’ were tracking people and vehicles across states. Soon, you won’t even see the surveillance craft, as it soaks up data from your physical shape, gait and shadow, from miles above, and […]

Mike Leigh gets happy, but why?

Rating 3.00 out of 5

[?]Submitted by Denerstein Unleashed

Mike Leigh’s movies include such darkly hued works as “Vera Drake” (2004) and “Naked” (1993), but he also has made films that don’t necessarily leave us distressed and depressed; i.e., “Topsy-Turvy (1999), “Secrets & Lies” (1996), “Life is Sweet” (1991) and “High Hopes” (1988). That’s not to say […]

This plant doesn’t look good at all.
I think I should have moved these Red Banana plants, Ensete maurelii, into the garage before morning temperatures dipped below freezing.
