THE WEST WING

it's taken me forever to watch the darn thing.

THE WEST WING is up to now one of the finest television series that i can remember. eight years of a presidency, that is over 200 hours of viewing, not to be taken lightly . . .and so i took my time. i learned quite a bit.

wonderful, simply wonderful

 we don't really need another ROYAL TENENBAUMS, luckily this isn't that. its quirky and slow, and at times slightly boring. at other times it's insightful, moving and indelibly impressive. was it worth the watch? i'd say yes if only for the lingering aftertaste, the kind that reminds us that there is more to film than just watching.

 "“Since we introduced our first ‘LEGO Star War’s set in 1999, we have seen and heard from countless ‘Star Wars’ fans who have used LEGO bricks to tell their own version of this timeless story, re-enacting favorite scenes and imagining new story lines,” Jill Wilfert, vice president of licensing and entertainment for The LEGO Group, said in a statement. “‘LEGO Star Wars: Droid Tales’ gives us an opportunity to share highlights of the Star Wars story with a sense of humor and excitement that can only be conveyed through the LEGO brick, and will be a fun resource for families as they gear up for the next movie.”


“Droid Tales” will air later this year, in plenty of time for the Dec. 18 premiere of “Star Wars; The Force Awakens.” However, no specific dates were given."

Biography: James Joyce

James Augustine Aloysius Joyce was an Irish novelist and poet, considered to be one of the most influential writers in the modernist avant-garde of the early 20th century. [Wikipedia]

Born: February 2, 1882, Rathgar, Republic of Ireland



The remarkable, yet troubled, life of the author of The Dubliners, Ulysses, and Finnegans Wake. James Joyce's parents squandered their fortune, sending the family into poverty in his youth; his relations with fellow Irishmen became strained, forcing his move to Switzerland; Ulysses was banned in the U.S. and England due to its graphic nature; and after relocating to France in 1920, Joyce reportedly moved from apartment to apartment to escape the accompanying attention of his literary fame.
