— Open Blogger Whilst scrolling through the Sherwin Williams website, dreaming of the just-so golden tan or the perfect dark taupey-gray, I marveled at the names of the colors and the emotions they, the marketing geniuses, seek to evoke through their creativity. They use adjectives such as 'Brilliant', 'Sophisticated', and 'Homespun' and allow one to revel for a bit in the warmth or the cool of a particular hue.
We've all had gray days and we've all had days filled with sunshine but, if you had to pick a color, and name it yourself, for where you are in your life at this point in time, what would it be?
Mine? Perhaps Melancholy gray.

I was reading an article about how some people have more rods or cones (I can't remember which) in their eyes and thus they can see more shades of color than other people. My brother must have that because he can put out three or four different shades of a color and talk about differences that I can't see at all. He's also one of those annoying people who can walk into a room and see what it will be when he's done with it and not what it looks like now.

Plaid. Peach Proud with Disgusted Gray.
Pluses: The twin daughters are smart, sassy, heads usually on straight, interested in people and life, heading off to college in a month. We will miss them but they are off to do great things, I hope, based on what they've done so far. The family is in good health. The wife and I are both employed, well paid, in jobs that are not as satisfying as we'd like but no one abuses us. We'll be able to send the kids to college and still eat steak occasionally.
The down side? The JEF is still president, Eric Holder is still AG, Lois Lerner is not in jail. Detroit is dead and Al Qaeda is alive.

Does "Thundercloud" count as a color? It has a song:
When I first posted that song at my blog, the Zimmerman verdict looked like it might not be "good".

We had a couple of multi-colored "shag" rugs in the house in the '70's. One was salt and pepper. The other was the complete spectrum of orange. Yeah, really.

The wife and I are dying for something to watch. Needs to be on Netflix. No horror. Nothing hardcore scifi/fantasy.
Go.
Netflix, or Netflix instant? And just what does "hardcore" mean? The reason I ask is that I have two movies to propose, but both are Netflix DVD, not instant. Both have Bruce Willis, which is not a coincidence, because the guy is good and also he gets to vacuum up the best scripts. Both are yeah, somewhat scifi, but the wife loved them.
OK, enough preliminaries. First recommendation: Surrogates. If you have not seen this, you really should. It's absolutely awesome. Recommended without reservation. If, in the early scenes, you think, as I did, "WTF: Willis looks fake! Did he get too much plastic surgery?"...trust me, you're right where you should be.
Second recommendation: Looper. Tougher recommendation, not so obviously great, more complex, but my wife and I were both glad we saw it. Not perfect, but at this point, I would not want to live a life in which I had not seen this movie. The people who thought of the concepts it contains should be rewarded.

A prayer for CarolT: I'll be on my knees, praying for your brother and his doctors tonight. I'll ask God to allow you a soft place to land on any given evening. I ask only for His salvation in your efforts to comfort the ones who need it most.
I will ask Him to assuage the fear and ill-felt emotion of a moment, an afternoon, another day.
May Our Lord give you the strength to continue your blessed work. Our prayers will be behind you and I'll pray you find comfort surrounds you.
I'll pray comfort surrounds your dear brother.
May love invade your soul so joyously that you inadvertently knock an unimportant tube out of a vein.
-In Jesus' Name I Pray
...Amen

You want to know a very weird thing? For most of my life, I had a rockin' tan and long sun-kissed dark blonde hair and my colors were all sages and khakis and stuff like that. I have just recently realized that, now my hair is kinda gray and darker, those are NO LONGER my colors!!! I was gobsmacked. I am realizing I actually do better in real colors now. So weird, still trying to get used to it. Gray now works, and it never did before. Kind of a mind-fuck. Although, praise be, there's never been a better look that a great fitting white t-shirt and some banged up blue jeans.

Elektra Luxx - In which Carla Gugino plays a porn star. You're welcome.
Haywire - Not nearly as Soderberghy as you think he would make it.
The Andromeda Strain - I have no idea why this movie is so suspenseful but it is.
Three Days of the Condor - Just the first twenty minutes or so and then fast forward to the end and laugh and laugh and laugh about the indignant but I told the NYT! You will all be exposed!
Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol - Pitch perfect popcorn movie. That is a compliment, btw.

And yeah, we've seen both those movies and they're both great.
Oh. This is one of those graduate-school level questions, then. So I know I can't just suggest Serenity or Moon.
You've probably already thought of this, but the big togetherness thing around Chez Splunge is to get engrossed in a long series together. We did Buffy and Angel, Firefly (naturally), Justified, Star Trek TOS, the first few seasons of 24. I left her on her own to do Walking Dead and Dexter, but maybe there's a possibility there if you like that creepy stuff. If you want to shade your eyes to the outcome of an awesome already-decided, atypical reality show, where the Penny Arcade guys pick their favorite Web cartoonist, check out Strip Search. But it's not on Netflix; I had to buy a gadget to tie my laptop to the TV to get my wife to watch with me.

Look for Charleston recipes if you can actually find any. It's sort of a running competition amongst chefs, and they ALL have a totally different way of making S and Gs.
Sullivan's on Sullivan's Island makes my all time favorite.
Slab of country ham on the bottom. "Brick" or "slab" of fried grits on top of that. Shrimp with some kind of hollandaise-like sauce poured over them on top of all that.
Fried Okra and collards on the side.

This is not just true, but so true that it should be engraved onto a plaque and handed to every male who is in a relationship lasting longer than two months.
And yet, with my Y chromosome, I must learn it anew each time I talk to a different woman, or after a new month is showing on the calendar. Guys want to fix stuff, that's just how it is. The one success I can claim is having accepted the "just because I'm complaining about something you can't really fix, doesn't mean I'm unhappy to be with you" frame.

tonight. I'll ask God to allow you a soft place to land on any given
evening. I ask only for His salvation in your efforts to comfort the
ones who need it most.
I will ask Him to assuage the fear and ill-felt emotion of a moment, an afternoon, another day.
May
Our Lord give you the strength to continue your blessed work. Our
prayers will be behind you and I'll pray you find comfort surrounds you.
I'll pray comfort surrounds your dear brother.
May love invade your soul so joyously that you inadvertently knock an unimportant tube out of a vein.
-In Jesus' Name I Pray
...Amen

My absolute favorite "Hey, why did the left shut up about this?" topic is SUVs. First, they were outraged. Then, they bought SUVs. Finally, they were silent.
For anyone with a sense of history, it is almost surreal to drive around Marin County or Berkeley, and count the SUVs.

I,too am cursed with the Y chromosome. What I do for a living is predicting, preventing and solving potential problems.
When my better half presents problems, I make the fatal mistake of trying to solve them.
I've complicated these situations by using logic. Logic doesn't have a chance against emotion.
I have been told that I shouldn't try to resolve the situation, I should just feel it.
I have further complicated things by saying " If you don't want the problem solved, don't tell me about it, call one of your sisters"
I realize that Marriage causes brain cell loss, because I was not THIS stupid when I was single. ( 20yrs in, yep I'm a moron)

Yeah, no. I had to go through all the steps here:
(1) You are telling me about a problem. You must want it solved.
(2) OK, you don't want it solved? What do you want? Oh, you just want me to listen? Can do.
(3) OK, I listened, and you're not happy. What do you want? Oh, you want me to say something?
(4) ...OK, the something I should say is not about solving the problem...
(5) I think I have it now. You want me to listen, you want me to say something, but what you want me to say is something that validates you? OK, got it.
(6) Wait, what is this "validate" thing exactly?
I'm somewhere in the middle of step (6), and I consider myself to be very advanced indeed...though that is a long way from mastery.

Thanks, I thought it was just me.
It hurts my brain to try to get it to see things from a "emotional" (read female perspective.
I'd write more but the seasonal feeding of the herd ( horde) has moved on to the ONT. See ya there

There is no such thing as "mastery"... lol. For all my prose, I'm still a Moron!
You've gone through all the Manly Steps, amigo. That's pretty damned good!
