The Big Lebowski

Um. Okay. It was an eh movie. Fairly disjointed, well acted, though. I will say that I had no idea what exactly was going on until 20 minutes before the end, so at least it wasn't an easy mystery. That may have been because of the sparsity of clues until right at this moment. It was like reading a Mrs. Marple story, where Agatha Christie kept hidden one valuable clue until she decided to drop the shoe.

What I really liked about the movie was that the main character - Lebowski - the Dude - Played by Jeff Bridges - Looked EXACTLY like my older brother in his prime. Talked like him, too. Didn't make the character more likable, cuz I never really ended up caring about hardly any of them, except Danny, played by Steve Buscemi, and he died. And you know, there's no guilt in giving that bit away, if you haven't seen the thing. Cuz, if you haven't seen it, you aren't really missing much.

Lots of loose ends. Lots and lots and lots. I think, in a really sloppy way, the movie was sort of an allegory for life. But then, aren't they all.

Crystal Diggin...

I think there is a firm tentative plan to go out to Great Salt Plains on the 8th for Diggin Crystals!

And since my last trip was such a blast, I wrote my mom on it. Course, since I'm such a prolific writer, I decided to post it here to.

Anybody want to go? I think Tim is saying it's a firm for him, and I think Susi said she'd go. Keep in mind, it's a day trip. We may want to eat breakfast together or before we start. And it may be hot! or rainy! but think of the adventure....

And I'm taking reservations to accompany me on my trip to Indiana when I go next. Don't expect anyone, but you never know unless you ask
