MEME: ... I'm all right. How about you?"//dinner at k's//the french movie, the 400 blows//meow mem

Awareness Act'sphoto.






"When someone asks me how are you? What I want to say:

Well considering the world is run by corrupt leaders,
our food is being poisoned,
the meat industry has become a holocaust,
the atmosphere is being sprayed with chemicals and poisons, (which are also injected into the food and the SEEDS of the plants that grow our food!) ... living things are dying of starvation,
while we THROW IN THE GARBAGE food that would feed them,
I would say I'm pretty concerned right now.

Instead I say, "I'm all right. How about you?"














ds is back to not working today. i keep getting thrown off and it says "gate way time out" grrrr.

had dinner at k's. what did we have? really have to start doing these on the day i have dinner so i know what i am saying. let's see. we had perogies with sour cream (which are a favorite of mine). white wine. salad. rum mojitos (which were excellent). veggies. coffee. and watched The 400 Blows, 1959 -The English title is aliteral translationof the French title, but misses its meaning, as the French title refers to the idiom"faire les quatre cents coups",which means "to raise hell" (sow your wild oats). As its a film about a juvenile who runs away and steals etc., and ends up in the system after doing both things repeatedly.

On the first prints in the United States, subtitler and dubber Noelle Gilmore gave the film the titleWild Oats, but the distributor did not like that and reverted it toThe 400 Blows.

Frenchdrama film, the debut by directorFranois Truffaut; it starsJean-Pierre Laud,Albert Rmy, andClaire Maurier. One of the defining films of theFrench New Wave, it displays many of the characteristic traits of the movement. Written by Truffaut and Marcel Moussy, the film is autobiographical of Truffaut's own childhood. Filmed on location inParisandHonfleur, France, it is the first in a series of five films in which Jean Laud plays the same very young, "rough" character.
It is widely considered one of the greatest films of all time; in their 2012 poll of all-time classics,Sight & Soundranked the film 39th.
The cinematography alone makes it worth watching.
didn't do much else. i'm still out of breath all the time, which i now know means my hemoglobin/iron is low just like i know if i'm dizzy or irritable it means i forgot to take a blood pressure pill (i used to think being out of breath was from being overweight or not exercising. its not. more people should have their iron checked through blood work). still taking 1/2 of an iron tablet per day because a larger tablet makes me ill. you also need to take vitamin c or drink a lot of juice with that or the iron won't absorb properly. learning so much from all of this.
we were e mailed training classes for supervisors. i want to watch them, and the guys at work, are like, don't watch them, its fine the way it is. lol.
its raining, which we need as it was hot today. headed to the marina with a. we were eating watermelon again today and burgers which i rather not eat, but i have to eat because of the iron thing. spent some of the morning on the deck reading a junie b, toothless wonder to get me into a better mood. she cracks me up every time. the other a was by as well, the one who needs real estate. his son was diagnosed with high functioning autism instead of Asperger. people always have so many troubles. he'll need a special school for him. he is the same one that rn is screwing around with his checks. grrrr., which she now says she will do correctly on the next check.

lol. true annie. in russia, if you say you are \"fine\" if someone asks how are you, its considered rude. then they say, you are fine, WHY are you fine? i\'m not fine. lmao. different culture. you are supposed to go on about your troubles and THAT is considered polite.

I think your last thought of an answer is the right one. Just an I am fine, how are you, would be the right response.

How long do you think they would listen to you? lol

So obviously a social media site would be the right place to answer that question of \"How are you?\"

in europe people converse a LOT. you have to readjust to it, because real conversation is less common in usa unless people are drinking. emily giffin mentions it in one of her novels, as people socialize and drink they get smarter instead of dumber like they do in usa, so the character in her book decides not to speak too much and is so surprised how knowledgeable everyone is. lol.

the russian thing i\'ve never done. ringo star is known for answering people in that way though - would go on and on about his troubles. lmao.
