What does this sound like?
« on: May 09, 2008, 08:54:17 PM »
An Unremarkable Life is a movie I saw within just the past year. Shelley Winters and Patricia Neal, two of my favorite movie stars, are sisters who live together. I think they were each to exhibit an unremarkable life to the viewer. I didn’t see it that way. I saw that the two of them, through thick and thin, stood by each other. I saw that each did what she felt best for herself. I saw a romance develop: one that most people wouldn’t expect.

I saw the trappings of the olden days and the manners., from when I grew up. Shelly had a daughter and  granddaughter, while Patricia was the ’spinster’.

I’ve always thought that my life was an unremarkable one, but there can be different incidents in everyone’s life, to make it remarkable.

Nobody????

I was trying for an intro to my book that would make a setting for then and now!

F**K I failed~

Hah... I didn't even see this thread till just now, Izzy.

And Hop's is right..... there's nothing un remarkable about your life.

How's the intro coming?

And..... it sounds a bit like Fried Green Tomatoes to me.  Is that a happy thought for you?

hi lighter,
missed ya too :lol:
Yes, I like Fried Green Tomatoes idea.

All this thinking keeps bringing out new ideas but I rather liked an unremarkable life that has remarkable things in it.


if I ever start a book, it will have to be amusing with the hardships and I will have to disappear to get it started, but I cannot leave all my internet favourites behind, expecially a new game I am stuck on

It sure shows my patience. I sent to URL to my D, as I know she will like it.

Iz... you're the online maven... our National Public Radio is accepting essays with the topic "This I believe"... subtitled "The Personal Philosophies of Remarkable Men and Women". Here's the link to post:

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4538138

The campus is encouraging people to create their stories to be announced during our new prez's inauguration this fall. Might give you a really good start on that book....

edit: ok, so I can't type today - it wasn't "man"; it was "men"... not intentional; maybe freudian slip!   :shock:

When the game gets old..... go back to work on the book.

Then let us know how it's coming.
