Fletcher Falls

Had passed them a hundred times, finally stopped, got out of my car and took a look around. Pretty. And the cool breeze from the waterfall is a welcome respite from the heat...

Aussie wins lottery twice in one week

There's a lot of information missing here, and it seems, well, just a little TOO lucky, if you know what I mean. The mention of "Secondary Winnings" from other tickets suggests he may have just bought too many tickets ...and may be working his own sort of system, still:

and a half-dozen other things that have piqued my interest...

And there's a pile of other films I'm kinda dying to see as well. Like "The Man who Killed Don Quixote" by Terry Gilliam, who's bad films tend to beat most directors best films. I suspect there will be more here than has met most reviewers eyes. And there's "The HappyTime Murders", which reminds me of "Meet the Feebles", Peter Jackson's twisted take on the Muppets, and there are a few books, "Infinite Jest", By David Foster Wallace, and "The Unbitten Elbow", by Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky, which will be a little tougher to find, and anything by Gerald Murnane, as I've read some reviews and am a little bit curious...

This will catch me up, there's a dozen books still to read on my shelf, a dozen movies downloaded onto a defunct computer which I may never get to see, but maybe I just gotta breeze on and try something new...
