Hi, axy!
You do continue to surprise and entertain me.
And I do love trivia as well as that Who game you mentioned in an earlier post. I fear I would never become the winner of that million without the occasional lifeline or call of a friend though. I would be able to see the clues in the answers posted on that little screen and still miss them. Those clues come so fast and are easy to miss. And when I play that Trivial Pursuit game I seem to always be missing that last piece of the pie.
Wow, languages, animals, places and movies...Such interesting subjects!
Is that your language on the page from that link, axy? I see structure and familiarity when I look at it. And those little things above some of the letters. So adorable! My favorite animal is the ocelot. You can only see one here if you visit a zoo though.
Oh, yes, I do love Richmond with its museums and theatres. I used to take mini vacations in Petersburg (or maybe it was
Chester?) when my son was small. It would be a day of Museums and a movie at the Imax Dome, and then an evening of roller skating on one side of the hotel and a friendly ice cream cone on the other side of the hotel before collapsing from exhaustion.
You are correct about the movies and Virginia. I remember one named The Recruit with Colin Farrell and Al Pacino. They mentioned and showed Langley, Quantico and CIA headquarters in Virginia numerous times in that movie. (I once owned a vehicle that was purchased at an auction in Quantico. The owners were from Charlottesville, though, and I had to wonder why they did not just sell it at the auto auction there?? I suppose when you have a car, or means to travel, distance is nothing.) There is a newer movie with Mark Wahlberg and Danny Glover named Shooter, though, axy. They show a beautiful view of a farm that I believe sits at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia. I believe it is shown about 2/3 of the way through the movie when they show the large white or yellow letters on the screen. It was a beautiful view in Virginia that is a bit far from Langley. There is an older movie with Sharon Stone in it named Basic Instinct that shows some incredible car chases out west in California somewhere. I believe it is somewhere south of Oakland/Concord/Stockton which I was a bit familiar with at that time. But...she also had another movie that was less popular. This one was filmed in a couple different places, one of them being on the east coast of the
U.S. Some of the film is in black and white and some is in color. There is one brief scene in which she enters a small local family owned pharmacy in a somewhat dirty little economically depressed coal mining town in a state to the north of Virginia. Most movie goers will not recognize that state or the town though when playing the movie trivia games. End of movie trivia...
Have a great night and day, axy!
