  • I know I should get over it, but do you think it’s ‘ok’ to be miffed about donating something to someone and not even getting a thank you in return?

    It’s been a month. I am mostly over it, but from time to time it comes to mind and it bugs me as someone who lives in a world thinking they’ve never mattered.






  • I got into westerns a few years back as well. I even wrote some western short stories set in Tasmania and have a couple more planned.

    The 2010 remake of True Grit is fantastic. Hailey Steinfeld was amazing in it. High Noon is a movie you have to add to your list. It’s my favourite western (and top 3 overall movie for me. Funnily enough, Out of Sight is top 3 for me too and that’s a Elmore Leonard novel - add that to your Leonard novel reading list).

    Anything Clint Eastwood western is going to be good. Justified TV show for a neo-western (also based on Elmore Leonard). They adapted Get Shorty into a TV series too which was pretty good.

    Jackie Brown is based off Rum Punch.

    The Tall T, 3:10 to Yuma are westerns based off a Leonard short stories too.

    Honestly, you are spoiled for choice with Elmore Leonard and westerns/adaptions.



  • After an almost 2 month wait I got my final 2 assignment results back from last teaching period.

    I was pretty certain I nailed one and the other I was iffy about.

    The one I nailed, I “only” got an 82. Which is good and I am happy about but I thought I would have done better.

    The one I was iffy about, 90. Now, that, I am chuffed about.

    The 90 also did some heavy lifting and put me in HD for the overall unit.
