Veach Rocks (2)

My second creation, also from an Oregon beach, is the same—but different—all over. This rock is an ever so slightly flattened egg-shape covered in tiny "craters". It is painted with enamel and measures 2¼" long, 2" wide, and 1¾ deep (57mm x 51mm x 46mm).

Veach Rocks (1)

I have returned to more creative endeavors. This small flat rock from my favorite Oregon beach is almost a perfect 1 ¹¹⁄₁₆" (42mm) circle. Painted/baked with ceramic enamel and ½" thick (13mm)—it's perfect worry stone size, for your pocket.

Lucy - film review (☆☆☆☆)

          Lucy, Luc Besson, 2014 is not only recommended viewing for fans of the writer-director's other films, but for aficionados of the filmic arts who enjoy the occasional unique as well.

          Monsieur Besson took La Femme Nikita's initially reluctant female singularity Übermench, added a sufficient amount of humor from his The Fifth Element, included an obligatory crazy-foil and legions of speedbumps dressed in black (Léon, The Professional) and then went one step further: he added a message. The result is a successful think/action movie. I do not know of another example of this type of film, which makes it worth seeing if only because it's one-of-a-kind.

          Abstract, philosophical (para-philosopical to be more accurate) films like Koyaanisqatsi or even The Tree of Life are solid documentaries or dramas (or a combination of both) and all are locked to their Serious Messages.

          Template-driven action films are, by design, the opposite of unique.

Lucy. Well...Lucy is both of the above.
