Oz the Great and Powerful: a movie review

We went to see the movie Oz the Great and Powerful. We both felt that it did the Disney brand justice and we both enjoyed it. As I have warned all of you, I am not a good movie reviewer simply because I like all movies and as you have guessed I liked most everything about Oz. But what really stood out for me was something entirely different this time around.

What really appealed to me, as I was watching the entire movie, was the scenery and the background of the surrounding landscape no matter where we were in the movie. Kansas or what we came to think of Kansas was a totally entire entity that had its own character whereas the land of Oz announced itself in such a vibrant manner. The land of Oz dizzied the senses especially visually; the colors so bright, so strongly painted on Oz’s canvas, so real. The flowers were jumping out, big and majestic, characters themselves in the land of Oz. The rivers and the waterfalls had the same power, a force of life that went beyond anything that we had seen previously in Kansas.

That was my strongest impression, the land of Oz; a perfect setting for everyone’s story and Kansas, everyone’s common reality. Whoever came up with the storyboards and put this in motion should be remembered at Oscar time.

Is Plinky being hacked?

I am so frustrated. I have tried to log into my Plinky account since yesterday and the Plinky people keep telling me that they are unable to log me in. Are the Chinese hacking into my Plinky account? Do they think that I hold the state secrets? If not the Chinese then what other hacking group? Did I tick off Anonymous? I am just joking of course but it is so weird. I have been faithfully visiting and answering the Plinky site and it saddens me that they are having issues because their prompts have offered me so many great ideas for writing, small things but fun things. I can’t wait until they get their stuff back on track for themselves and for me.

If I am “right” and that the Chinese did hack my account, you are monitoring the wrong person, I promise you . All I got going is food, Jack (the cutest Jack Russell in the world), my babies and other inoffensive stuff. You guys needn’t worry or bother with my writing, Chinese hackers, give me back my Plinky.

If it is Anonymous, I’m not a republican or a wealthy banker. I’m one of the 99%, the average Laurie who is trying to write about her daily journey through life. May I please have my Plinky back? Can you tell that we in the U.S have been listening to a lot of hacker threats done against us from the media and our government. They are blaming the Chinese. So there you are. This ramble is in fun and in play, I’m fairly sure that I haven’t been hacked. I’m far too boring to be hacked.
