Greetings and welcome to today's random thought.
I am trying to enjoy the things that I like about this apartment as much as I can since in two week we are outta here. One thing that is very nice is the apartment video library. It rotates monthly and has quite a few hit DVDs that you can borrow. There are rules (like only keeping the movies for 2 days) but they are not enforced. At any given time there are about 50 titles available but there are days when the pickin’s are slim. The kids and I watched Rocky Balboa last night (it was not too bad). The wife and I also watched Casino Royale this week.
When I got home earlier this evening I decided to change clothes and then walk up to the office and see what movies they had today. As I was walking I heard quite a bit of chirping coming from under one of the carports so I investigated and found this...
These 4 chicks were way up under the carport. I had to hold the camera at arms length over my head and step on my tip toes to get the picture. Mama bird did not seem to happy so I got out of there. Once I brought the picture home and showed it to the kids I noticed how ugly these small birds really are. I zoomed in on the picture of the bird on the far right and it reminded me of the Skeksis in The Dark Crystal. But do not take my word on it, judge for yourself...
Enough said. Perhaps young chicks were Jim Henson's inspiration for the terrible Skeksis characters. At any rate, I talked with a few guys that were also looking for movies and ended up picking up The Brothers Grim. I will have to let you know how it is.
Thanks for reading my Random Thoughts.
Jon
