Groundhog Day!
I'm pretty sure we won't have 6 more weeks of winter here in Austin...and I hope your winter is not as severe as its been so far...I tried to find decent groundhog animated gifs and this one was the best I could find...sorry...
OK, I have a question....we watched Million Dollar Baby the other night..and I guess I just don't 'get' it...I like Clint, I like Hilary, but what is the big deal..I didn't 'get' Unforgiven either - all the critics just LOVED these movies, and gee whiz they just don't DO anything for me...its not that I didn't like them, I just walked away after watching them and thought 'eh'...what am I missing? what is all the hubbub about? why are folks fawning over themselves? I preferred Sideways MUCH more than MDB...and I consider myself pretty 'movie-savvy'...I took a movie appreciation class in college, I get Entertainment Weekly, I've played Scene It? over Christmas and could answer a lot of questions...if you have any ideas what I'm missing, please enlighten me...
I took all my torches and hoses to Jim at Bluemoon yesterday and he fixed me up in no time...alas, there is still a leak on the propane connection, but I think we can fix it...it wasn't leaking at the store, we tested it and it looked great...oh well...I got one whole bead made yesterday...I'm on a roll huh!
I'm getting a lot of emails asking about classes and if I still teach them - why yes I do! I've changed my agenda a bit, so that the class is more customized for YOU, and if you have any questions feel free to email me...I've got the Classes page updated (and the Artist page has been updated with my workshop timeline of classes that I've taken or are signed up for this year)...So, if you're interested, lemme know...

I'm glad I am not alone in not loving Eastwood's movies. Quite franky, I thought 'Unforgiven' was a stinker. I too am a real movie lover, and there have been several over the years whose so-called greatness was lost on me...

I hear ya! I don't even like reading or hearing about anymore movie reviews because I rarely ever end up agreeing with them or I end up disappointed. and yes "Unforgiven" was a big fat stinker I agree.
