Most of those suggestions you all made to Mini Flash seem so good, something may happen that she will not like: mom sitting between her and boyfriend listening to the documentaries with them lolllllllllllllllllll

love it, love it, love it, my little naggy sadistic side is showing up - boyfriend will dread mom in law lolllllllllllllll (I truly like him, just joking here)

Going from job interviews to job interviews, hopefully I will have some offers within 2 weeks, we will see

Yesterday's birthday was great, I was in a good mood, bought little cakes to eat or dinner with Mini and the teenager boy I have home during school days, and they sang happy birthday.

But it is Mini Flash who had all the gifts, her high school graduation is Friday the fifth, and I give her what I had bought her a while ago to go with her graduation ball dress, jewels, a ring, a chain, a bracelet, all in silver and a black stone called black onyx, the power stone (she likes black).

the ring



one of two chains



second chain, this one I will borrow at times

I wanted to add this thriller to Miniflash's playlist, but I can't find it subtitled

It's called: Auf Nummer sicher. About a journalist who accepts a job from a pharmaceutical company to make a promovideo for a chip. She's expected to make people believe that it's in your own interest to get chipped. It's convenient in stores (you can pay with your body (hm, that sounds weird), and you don't have to carry all your files with you all the time, and your children can never get lost or (decently) kidnapped, etc.

And she starts very motivated and with her own ideas about it but not pushing them too much, because she needs the money. And then this stranger (from a local mental institute) finds her and warns her about what she's doing. She starts re-viewing her assignment, and she starts forming her own opinion about the chip project. Whether the company is happy with that is another question.

Putting it in here, and hoping someone will say: Ah, yes, I know where you can find the French/English version, subtitles.

Ulli, I'd have to do some thorough research to have an opinion about that. Only know him from your suggestion and then met him again after that in a book about enneagrams. Interesting man.

Oh Flash, what lovely jewelry for Mini Flash! So cool. .

And happy birthday dearheart!

Grey clouds, rising wind, lightning and thunder here. I smell the rain coming, oh good.

Soaking wet hummingbird on the feeder overhead. He dripped on the iPad below, lol.

Finch eating seed...

Thunder still rumbling, my sister got hail five miles down the road.

The birds are chirping again.

I love watching Werner Herzog's films, especially the ones he narrates. My favorite is Cave of Forgotten Dreams. Absolutely spellbinding.

I have 23 pullets (immature hens) living in the spare bedroom right now. They're about a month old, and I've got two more about 3 months old living in a chicken tractor I built with me own two hands (a carpenter, I am not). The old tool shed is halfway through being cleaned out and converted into a hen house, "John the Baptist" suggested I leave the tools, one out of the 23 might take up carpentry.

I'll have to watch it again Ulli. It sent me in a whirlwind last time i watched it.

Listening to this now, topical.... Nicke Cave and the Bad Seeds, the Higgs Boson Blues...

Hi Mini Flash,

On one of my travels I was in Baltimore, Maryland and after sampling some of the local cuisine, I love to try the foods of different places and cultures that I travel to, I found an off the beaten path movie theatre. The showing at the time was the movie "The Children of Huang Shi." It is about a British journalist, George Hogg who saves sixty orphan boys from forced enlistment as soldiers in the second Japan China conflict in 1937-1938. He takes them on a very long mountainous trek of over a 1000 km through China to Mongolia. (A few of the boys he saved are still alive today)

I do not like violent or war movies, but this was very good, humanistic, and a very well done docudrama. Warning it is graphic in parts.

Way back when I took a class in Northern Native American Indian History. The teacher was a traditional in his ways and had been a part of the Wounded Knee occupation and uprising of 1973 on the Pine Ridge Reservation and others across the nation at that time. A very down to earth and interesting person and an advocate of cultural diversity. Once a week he held meetings on cultural diversity. During a few of the meetings he showed us the movie "DreamKeeper" that he had been gifted by one of the producers of the film. Early release. lol. "DreamKeeper" is cinema steeped in Northern Native American (from different Indian Nations) ancient mysticism, spirituality, culture -it's about keeping & passing on what is Sacred.

Perhaps you have seen it. Its a great film.

Youtube now has the full movie just uploaded May 7th of this year.

I havn't seen any of these movies but I defenetly am interested in them thank you

Just remembered a couple of more.

"Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence" an independent film produced by, Phillip Noyce, Christine Olsen and John Winter. It's about assimilation of the Australian Aboriginal people into "modern" white Western culture and three girls refusal to be assimilated and their journey back to their people. It's based on the book by, Christine Olsen. The entire soundtrack for the movie was produced by Peter Gabrial with an amazing ensemble, album title, "The Long Walk Home"

And two documentaries about the Kogi people of the mountains in Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia.[3][4]"The Heart of The World: Elder Brother's Warning"(1990) and its sequel "Aluna" (2012) The documentaries show an ancient culture who emerge to offer their concern for people of the modern world. Subtitles in English.

"who's driving the Dreambus?" is also essential viewing.

Oh the irony. The makers of the film keep slamming anyone who loads it on any given forum or location, and they charge money for a film which purports to be enlightening. And it is, it is quite good.

The mirrored insanity, the sheer contradiction of the money part.... is not lost on me.

A film that everyone should see, held, nay, forced behind a paywall..like coca-cola wanting everyone in the world to buy a coke.

Which is totally contradictory to the spirit of the film.

That was a while ago Mini, Running Deer had done that design for you, which Dan33 has taken anew for you, if I am not mistaken.

When you post, you have to check for the answers.

And I agree with this renewed Mini Flash post of the month. As far as I am concerned, I would make you a post saying "Mini Flash, the achievements of the year" for your graduation - knowing very well the cost you incurred in getting there, working 4 times more than average.

Love you
