New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, |
Still round the corner there may wait |
Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Good luck to you all!! We'll be keeping you in our prayers!!
Thanks!
Hi just popping in to say that we are all settled and in wait mode here. Nothing much happening so far, thank God. I'll check in later with you guys. Stay safe Sam and Ksen :-)
You too, Trini.
"Found this image on the Sky Captain website. I know I've seen tentacle-armed robots like this elsewhere, but I can't remember where!"
That picture reminds me of a robot I've seen before, but I can't put my finger on it. In the version I'm thinking of the robot looks like that but the eye is red rather than white.
Godzilla makes a cameo in the movie, too, huh? Okay, I'll have to see it :)
Ok! I've got literally hundreds of lines of code to write this afternoon... so for a movie, I've got "Dune" - the SF channel version of course! That should see me through hopefully at least two of my three assignments!
waddaya mean the SF version? There is more than one?
The Sci-Fi Channel version is... worth watching. The old movie version isn't. The SF channel put out a miniseries of Dune in 2000... it's not too bad, especially if what one wants is a dearly-loved story to keep company on a boring coding afternoon.
Oh, Duncan Idaho just kicked the bucket... and my code won't compile...
I may be one of only a few who like the Dino de Laurentis version of Dune back in the 80's. I liked the Art Deco look of the interiors. I especially like the floating lights that looked like ancient oil lamps. Linda Hunt as the Shadout (sp?) Mapes was suitably mysterious, and Jurgen Prochnow as Duke Atreides was yum, though I thought Sting in the funky Speedo was just stupid.
Yeah, well, maybe in the 80s... but I read Dune when I was 13, and even then the Dune movie was cheesy.
Ha! One assignment submitted. Now. What's going on with this one...
I think it's making a break for freedom...
Be safe down there, youze! I can't believe the season you're having!
Prayerful thoughts coming your way from RI!
Needs some spackle for that crack!
I liked that movie pretty well, thought it was better than the book, which is not my favorite, somehow.
Commander Picard was in it for one thing.
Thank you.
Ruthy and I should be OK, ksen may have a tough time.
I love the book... it's one of my top ten ever.
ARGH. My program would work if the data would behave responsibly!
We'll all be glad when hurricane season is over with.
Looks like The Castle is going to get it again.
Mine?
