I’m in love with Horatio Hornblower.
Or…it could be that I’m in love with Ioan Gruffudd.
We’ve watched the Horatio Hornblower series that has been running on A&E (Arts and Entertainment). What a pleasure it’s been to see these books brought to life. We’re watching “Loyalty” tonight. It’s been amazing to see Gruffudd mature over the life of the series, as he goes from a seaman to a captain.
In this segment, he has been given command of his own ship. All the familiar charachters are around him, plus a few new ones, and it’s like meeting an old friend. The other night I was watching a special on Trio about mini-series. They were listing the top ten, and I missed the top three. If this wasn’t in the top three, it SHOULD have been!
I think I’m going to take Horatio to bed with me tonight and let him run through my dreams…

Weddings
Did you know that the wedding industry is a $120 BILLION industry? If it was a company it would be number six on the Fortune 500 list.
We’ve recently gone through two weddings in our family, and a third is coming up next year. I know that girls are being groomed to think of their wedding as their day of limelight, and I think that we do them a disservice.
Young couples are paying what amounts to the down payment for a house, or the cost of an upscale new car for two days of celebration. Despite the fact that they both may work, they saddle themselves with unreasonable debt that some never escape.
What’s my color…
I lifted this test over at Blue Witch’s blog. I don’t know that I would agree completely with their estimate. I surely don’t FEEL sunny most days.

Your dominant hues are green and blue. You’re smart and you know it, and want to use your power to help people and relate to others. Even though you tend to battle with yourself, you solve other people’s conflicts well. Your saturation level is very low – you have better things to do than jump headfirst into every little project. You make sure your actions are going to really accomplish something before you start because you hate wasting energy making everyone else think you’re working. Your outlook on life is very bright. You are sunny and optimistic about life and others find it very encouraging, but remember to tone it down if you sense irritation. |
