Here is another movie I would love to have on DVD, but is unavailable. For now. According to the web site http://www.koyaanisqatsi.org/ fall of this year is the target date for re-release on DVD around the same time as the theatrical release of the third of trilogy, NAQOYQATSI.
All this was brought to the front by my renting from Netflix another film with a Phillip Glass soundtrack, Mishima.
Our whole front and back yards are dug up for the sprinklers we are getting put in. Looks like a scene from a GI Joe sized WW I movie. Friday they put in a new sidewalk. This one is a concrete one about 3′ wide replacing our falling apart brick stepping stone like thing that has been there since we moved in. We hardly ever use the walk, as our main ingress/egress portal is the garage, but now I told my wife that we will have to use the thing more, seeing as what we paid for it. 🙂
Started up, still up.

Up at 7:30, ate a bagel, packed the car and started home. Still raining, so there was no sense hanging around Hilton Head when we can sit at home and watch the rain. Driving west we exited the rain storm, but left the top up as the road was still quite wet and the 18-wheelers on I-95 put out quite a spray. Off the dreaded interstate and driving into Hampton, we couldn’t stand it anymore and put the top down. The windshield was occasionally getting hit with a light rain and the sky we were driving towards looked really dark gray, but we managed to last about 40 miles, until just the other side of Barnwell, before raising the top. Not 2 miles further down the road the rains came harder and we would have gotten soaked.
Started up, down a bit, then back up, still up.

Raining on and off, but mostly on, all day. Went out to lunch at the Atlanta Bread Company because we like the food and it is right next to that second-hand book store where we bought some old library books to read yesterday. Ate and went back into get some more used hardcover books for less than the price of a new paperback. Yesterday’s Robert Parker Spenser book lasted all of three hours, kinda like a big ol’ piece of cheesecake; not really good for you, but delicious and sadly, over too soon. After lunch and book buying we headed back over the half-dozen speed bumps of the codo complex back to our parking spot. Still raining, so we spend a lazy afternoon watching the gulls, the waves and the TV out of one eye and ours books out of the other.
Back out for dinner, Donna wanted seafood, so we were headed to Crabby Nick’s where we had eaten before, but somehow ended up at a place called Captain’s Seafood. We had eaten there once before as well and remembered it fondly. Tonight it was packed because a church bus had pulled in about 15 minutes before we did. Still it didn’t take long to get seated and served. Something about fried seafood, a tossed salad and iced tea…mmmm good, but somehow it didn’t seem to be worth the $29 total it cost.
Started up, still up.

I hope I stay online long enough to post this. Trying to use Juno to blog because I am in Hilton Head Island for the weekend and it is a free way to connect, but for what ever reason about every minute I get a pop up ad that fills the screen trying to entice me to use something called HotHomePages. Even if I go through the first few screens they keep coming and coming and coming. There are about a dozen of them in the background. Sometime soon they are going to overload the memory of this laptop. The bright side is Juno must think I’m surfing the web or they probably would have disconnected me by now ’cause I’m just typing….
We took half a day vacation from work and are off to Hilton Head for the weekend. We get to stay free at a condo on the beach. Payback for doing a web page for the owner. He owns a couple he rents out and manages a few more for rent as well. I designed the original page and now I keep it updated and add/remove units as needed and he thanks me by letting Donna and I stay one weekend a year in the off-season.
Really cold morning, but by noon when we left Aiken it was warm enough to put the top down for the trip. It stayed down for the 2-1/2 hour trip to HHI. We shopped for breakfast items and tonite’s dinner, headed over to condo, parked and put the top up. Supposed to rain tomorrow and maybe Sunday, might have been the only time the top is down all weekend…
Started up, went down, went back up, still up.
