    film, Nevermore Film Festival

    This year, Nevermore did 3 shorts collections.  They’re Coming to Get You, Barbara was all shorts forms (less than 15 minutes).  Pandora and That Damned Box  was 4 long forms shorts (>20 minutes).  And Wrath of the Foreign Invaders was a collection of foreign shorts of all lengths.

     won the Shorts long form Audience Favorite award.

     The House of the Yaga won the short form award.  This is the same group that did  Cornerboys last year.

    We saw Ashes, which annoyed me.  If you are going to make a movie in a hospital, check with someone who works there to be sure you aren’t making gaffes that will tweak the sensibilities of  medical people who come to see it.  Except for that, it was a good Ground Zero zombipocalypse movie.

    The Innkeepers is a great ghost story.

    Some Guy Who Kills People wasn’t really full of surprises, but the dialogue was good and Barry Bostwick was particularly funny.  Christopher thinks we need to buy it when it’s available.  And it won the Audience Award for a full length film.

    The Whisperer in Darkness is a Lovecraft story in black and white.  I liked it.  I haven’t read the story it was based on so I didn’t know every where it would go.  The ending wasn’t a shock, though, since I have read some Lovecraft.

    And, after the mildest winter since I’ve been in NC, it snowed on us coming home tonight.

    note to self

    I found an interesting blog post this morning.  Don’t know that we’ll ever need this information, but I’m saving it here, just in case.

    This is in response to a request for more detailed photos of the features of the hives.

    This is the feeder that came with it that is designed to be used inside the hive. Contemplating an outside feeder as well to cut down on disturbing the bees to change out the jars.

     

    It comes with a screen bottom and removable bottom board that can be oiled up for mite counting.

    This shows the board back in place. The bottom of the hive has a channel with a lip on one end that the board slides into and a latch that holds it in place on the othe

    Beautiful, travel

    I don’t tend to believe in the idea of a “bucket list”.  What is important to you changes with time, so to have a list of things to do before you drop the body traps you with old dreams.

    However, I have always hoped to see auroras in the sky above me and I’m fascinated by pictures of them.

    a day in this life

    I drove to Julian, NC on Saturday and picked up our two top bar hives from Bill at The Garden Hive.

    I had shopped around and liked the idea of buying from a local builder and we didn’t have to pay shipping costs. I considered building my own, but my carpentry skills are quite limited, as are my tools.

    We are in the minority in our area as far a preferring the top bar versus the traditional Langstroth hive. We are looking for pollination with a little bonus honey for ourselves and family down the road.

    Our two bee packages are coming in March or April. We are excited.
