HDR from Malaysia
It can really be a drag taking long trips to work long hours in hotel rooms, offices, meeting rooms, and airports. But sometimes you get to stay at a hotel next to something cool like Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, where photos can be found in a 15-minute walk. The shot of the towers below is after midnight last night, so the lights are off. With the low cloud cover, I like that shot even more than the early-evening photos I took last year when I was here. (By the way … look close in that shot from last year, and you’ll see a lighted room on the second floor from the top of the hotel to the left of the towers, on the left side — that’s the room I’m sitting in right now, as shown below.)
It’s not raining tonight, so I might even get in one more quick photowalk before I check out early tomorrow morning.

If you see James Bond careening from one of the towers can you get his autograph for me?

Did he do that? Man, I gotta get out more.

Yeah, he did. I think it was Tomorrow Never Dies. Personally, I’m into Bond flicks. They usually have very good production value and deliver in the action department. Plus, Paul McCartney did the sound track to Live and Let Die. To me, movies are a definite artform, even if they are often abused.

Poor Doug.
What a filthy, nasty, gruesome job you have, Hon. But, someone has to do it, eh? Be strong. We in the minimum wage world support you (spiritually). Did I tell you that I am a Teamster? Renewed my interest in Hoffa and cement.
Here here for movies being a definate art form! Has everyone seen No Country for Old Men?
love, love

I doubt Doug has seen a movie since he’s been married. But I’m just guessing. I’d set the over-under at 3 years. Which would you pick? Is it over three years or under three years since he’s seen a movie based on what you know about him? (I’m guessing over.)
Personally, I thought No Country for Old Men was excellent, especially the ending.

Your instincts are good, Tad, but I’ve been on quite a movie-watching streak, actually. I can think of FOUR movies I’ve seen in the last three years: Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen chick flick, but that Keira chick is hot), Eight Below (stupid movie, but great sled-dog shots), Little Miss Sunshine, and Darjeeling Limited. So there!
One thing I haven’t done yet is watch a movie on an airplane. I’ve been flying all over the world the last couple of years, and I’ve never used the headphones they pass out in business class, because I’ve never watched anything on the little screen except the progress-o-meter. I used to try to tell the stewardess not to give me headphones because I wouldn’t use them, but then there’s a hassle a few hours later when they come around to pick them up and you don’t have one so they think you stole it, so I just let them give me one every time now.

I just watched the Darjeeling Ltd last week ( “Mine died” LOL).
but, I seem to recall your also seeing some not for youguns movie with a nephew or something…? 300? 900? 1250?
I am hoping that your new home which will keep you home more often is one that will “afford ” you more reason to watch more movies. Keira is a stick—just watched Atonement and was not so happy. What about Meg’s collections? All those hanna and her sisters type flicks????
