Continuing along on the subject of spectacles

A little perspective.

Arsenic and Old Lace

I love to spend the Halloween weekend sitting around, eating trick-or-treat candy that I should not have opened, and watching old black and white movies. Poor trick-or-treaters, "Sorry kid, the Snickers are gone. Here's a box of raisins. Oh quit your blubberin'. You've got a whole pillowcase FULL of candy."

A clip from the great Charlie Chaplin. Stand up to tyranny and bullies and hatemongers, whatever guise they hide behind. At work, at home, on the television, in the ether, in your neighborhood, in your government. You know the right thing to do. DO IT. Stand for something. DO something for someone else, for all creatures great and small, for the planet. Be kind, be gentle, be good, be brave. Let us all unite.

Bloom

From Emily Johnstone at Vimeo. "Nadine, depressed and alone, has been living her life in the dark. A gift from a friendly neighbor gives Nadine something to live for. With a new life, Nadine has a chance to pay it forward." http://vimeo.com/29865151

A lovely little piece about all of us who still have time to bloom, early or late. This one is for my sister
{she would represent the friendly neighbor in the film}.
