Writer's Block

I haven't been in a writing mood. We've been to Portsmouth twice and seen a few movies in our area. I've been reading and watching more DVDs. The pile keeps growing faster than I can watch them due to good sales in stores and online with Borders discount coupons. More on these later...

I'm hardly online these days except to do mail, read articles, and chat with a few buddies. I don't enter chat rooms too much because of the room drama and to be frank, small talk bores me. I'd rather spend the time with a good book or watch a DVD. Lately I've taken an interest in German films made during The Third Reich. I own several of them as well as books about them. No I'm not a neo-Nazi but I find these films fascinating as they weren't all propaganda pieces although you can find some politics in the most innocent entertaining ones. More on these later; meanwhile here's a good article explaining about that era: http://www.stanford.edu/group/SHR/5-supp/text/thompson.html#note6
