A glass of cheer is in order! Think I'll have a glass of wine!

...to the modern day...we saw Avatar 3D today. Fantastic and unlike a few others in the theatre, I didn't get motion sickness.

Just killed (OK - took two days) a bottle of Pascual Toso 2008 Malbec. Inexpensive but very good.

geospyder would you recommend Avatar?

It's just been that little bit of weird reading the Vikings and then coming in to the bar or hte eplaya and having all these norwegians and pagans running around. It's a good book, too, I recommend it, and I'm surprised that my library had it already.

Definitely - but see the 3D version - unless you are prone to vertigo. The special effects and entertainment value are fantastic. Contrary to most science fiction movies, in this movie you will find yourself rooting for the aliens not the humans. If you look for something deeper there is an underlying hidden message, at least I think there is, of anti-war.

Thanks for the head's up. I'll keep an eye out for it. I'm currently reading a book that everyone has heard about but few have read - Anne Frank - The Diary of a Young Girl.

a glass of wine sounds good, deb! think i'll have one too.

remember when they were colorizing old movies? one of my hollywood insider friends says that a whole bunch of stuff is about to be remade in 3-D ... even some TV shows. several companies have programs that do most of the work. they're even working on a system that won't require 3-D glasses ... who knows if that will ever work, though.

where'd that mistletoe disappear to?

I may have to read that one..........

but, why "weird" to see "us" in here?
and, are Norwegians and Pagans, mutually exclusive?..........being Danish, mostly, I am now curious.........

SO nice to see the crowd in here, frisk and all. Hops about, smooching left, right and centre.

*wanders in, builds fire in s.c.c*

well, thanks? Bin.............

Not sure what Crypto's book is about but I love the Nordics and pagans here! Can't believe how much I've learned from ygmir about liqueurs, etc. I'm always running off to Wikipedia to find out something. And pagans are a natural to love - they've given some thought to what they believe and have made a choice that they can defend. Nothing irritates me more than blind faith!!!

Littleflower, I left the mistletoe on the bar. Not sure if Bin Noddin used it or just smooched!

Time for coffee!

Deb Prothero · Post by **Deb Prothero** » Sat Dec 26, 2009 7:22 am

Tiahaar and geospyder seem to be recommending this Avatar movie. I may have to find someone else to go.

Good morning all!

Hey Ygmir found my espresso machine! Yay!

Deb Prothero · Post by **Deb Prothero** » Sat Dec 26, 2009 7:26 am

Good morning Sputnik

Stay away from Metro airport and firecrackers!!!

magicmarty · Post by **magicmarty** » Sat Dec 26, 2009 7:37 am

I've also heard great things about Avatar and must go.

Smooches are great at any time of the year. A great "instrument" for peace. Hard to nuke someone you're smooching. Gets akward.

Pagans are good too. We had our annual "Pagan Tennis Match" yesterday morning. Weather was beautiful. Brought smiles to all our faces. Pagans need tennis too (and bacon)

Now to a bit of YG's excellent coffee ... reaches for cup, brushes Deb's arm, says, "well excuuuuse meeee!" does the three kiss smooch, and pours two cups of steaming brew ..... Ahhhhh, that's the way to start the day!

Deb Prothero · Post by **Deb Prothero** » Sat Dec 26, 2009 7:45 am

~~~finds the mistletoe behind the bar, runs around with smooches for sputnik and magicmarty......hangs the mistletoe above the L.I.C.K.~~~

Cheers, magicmarty. Love a smooch and an expresso.

magicmarty · Post by **magicmarty** » Sat Dec 26, 2009 8:06 am

Deb, smooch happily received and reciprocated. Counting the days to be back on the Playa and be able to exchange some real ones complete with hugs.

Sure that the likely sleep deprived Kinetic really appreciated his Smooch as well. How's it all going dad?

To those who love opera, last night PBS did a special of 15 viewers choice best from the Metropolitan Opera hosted by Ruth Swensen. If you haven't seen it, look for the reruns. Really fabulous. They also did a cinematic version of La Boheme the other night and it too was really wonderful. Even if you don't know, or think you don't like, opera this could be a game changer for you.

Good to have you back here, Deb Have a wonderful weekend!

geospyder · Post by **geospyder** » Sat Dec 26, 2009 8:30 am

New Year's Resolution (one to keep) - I WILL be at the ePlaya meet and greet this year when and where ever it will be held.

pinemom · Post by **pinemom** » Sat Dec 26, 2009 9:09 am

Yup dont miss it Geo!
We dont ever miss it!

magicmarty · Post by **magicmarty** » Sat Dec 26, 2009 9:11 am

pinemom · Post by **pinemom** » Sat Dec 26, 2009 9:36 am

I definatly wanna go see Avatar! We watched the baby last night so the kids could go, and they came back so excited talking so loud they woke up their own child!! ahhahaaaaa

Deb Prothero · Post by **Deb Prothero** » Sat Dec 26, 2009 9:40 am

Like all New Year's Resolutions, this might be hard to do. I fully intended to be there this year and then someone else organized the memorial service for Caleb at exactly the same time!!!

So next summer, I'll try again.

Ugly Dougly · Post by **Ugly Dougly** » Sat Dec 26, 2009 9:46 am

We're going to drag dad to see Avatar.

I just now catching up on my viewing. Recently saw District 9. Great fun.

By the way, what's a good first-run historical chick flick?

Here's your Viking movie:
