It's so true. And may I venture further to say you'll never watch a movie the same way either. I'm so absorbed in story that <br />I find I can't just enjoy a movie or a book without analyzing, getting ideas for my own plotsJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06683486631901017529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4538744000429800248.post-75873232259611596922011-09-06T07:31:38.273-07:002011-09-06T07:31:38.273-07:00Damn global warming, there just aren't enough ...Damn global warming, there just aren't enough ice floes in the world ;-)Sarah Tokeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13273148070092101085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4538744000429800248.post-23826389819643057892011-09-06T06:36:59.025-07:002011-09-06T06:36:59.025-07:00Elspeth - Such good lessons!

I think that is because it is slightly raining out, my office is a pig-sty with furniture that is being moved into my downtown office tomorrow and JUNK and well I'm scared. There you heard it. I'm terrified. This is the start of the year for me and I feel like I'm in a dangerous place. Don&Jan Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01771180344305042855noreply@blogger.com
