Augh! No Internet until yesterday! Augh,
I say!Okay, so let's find out what today's picture is. Since I'm going to do this all at once and not trust the weather - seriously, it was the weather that kept me down: it was agony! - I'll put up one thought for the next five pages, thoughts I've saved up.
The thought for this page is about the Thunderbirds movies. I saw the live-action one on Saturday, and it was all right, but the marionette version is 'way cooler'. I saw part of it once, though I don't remember much. I remember a submarine, and a kid getting rescued from a psychiatrist by a blonde lady who then talks to friends through her make-up mirror. The psychiatrist wonders if HE should see a psychiatrist. Here's what Dad noticed: compare this with this (scroll down, down, down...): it's perfect!
This odd picture is my memory of my very first vision of Bilbo in The Hobbit. He was a hairy little monkey-like creature with cargo shorts and a green cloak. I guess I took Tolkien's direction that hobbits had lots of hair on their toes a little too seriously.
