Soup Recipes

It’s been a while since I played around with my squidoo lens so I decided to check in and see how they were doing, with upgrades here and there.

And since I was on there, I could not resist and made 2 new lens:

New Star Trek Movie

I finally got around to seeing the new Star Trek movie this week.

Wow, what a ride! Loved every minute of it. In fact, I was sorry the movie was over by the end. I’m sure I’ll be renting the video once out so I can see it again.

Zachary Quinto is simply GREAT as the new Spock. He inhabits the role just right and is doing justice to the character. Leonard Nimoy leaves big shoes to fill. And what about this new turn of event, hmm? Yes, you know what I’m talking about, with Uhura. Nice.

Spock has always been my favorite character, and it’s good to see him again. Vulcans very much took a back seat after the original series, hardly showing up in any of the subsequent series. A shame, really, as they are an interresting and admirable race.

One thing I certainly hope, though, is that this new time line runs parallel to the original time line, and does not to cancel out 40+ years of history and characters. It would not be unheard of to have 2 alternate universes happening at the same time.

This would also open the possibility of having respective characters jump from one universe to the other in a future movie. Wouldn’t that be fun?

Plus, I do think TNG deserves to continue with movies. Afterall, those actors are no where near the end of their career, with more stories to be told. Like the cliffhanger type ending regarding Data (or his “brother”) in the last movie Nemesis, for example.

So, back to Spock. Check out my squidoo lens Spock-of-Vulcan. It’s a preliminary layout, with lots of videos and fun toys for the moment. I will research a little more of Spock’s history and continue adding to it as I go. Obviously, right now there is more to the original Spock than to the new Spock. All in good time…

Updating Squidoo Lenses

It’s been a while since I’ve been on this blog. I think I just had to take a break -too many sites and things to keep up with.

Anyway, lately I’ve been coming back to squidoo lenses I had made and upgrading them a bit with more information, images, fun gear, etc.

The two I’ve worked on so far are:

1- scooters! I got one earlier this year and have been riding it off and on depending on weather. It’s great fun and inspired me to go back and upgrade this lens a bit.

2- Corto Maltese. I’m a great fan of European comics and Hugo Pratt’s Corto Maltese adventures are extremely famous all over the world. I’m working on listing the albums for now. I’ve added a few images too for a better visual experience. Next will be some historical context for each album.

Take a minute to go through these squidoo lenses. I’m putting a lot of work into them and rather enjoy the way they’re coming out. Hope you do to.

Squidoo Lens Performance

Just wanted to post a quick update on my squidoo lens, as I have not done so in a while.

I have 2 top performing lens, way ahead of the rest. They take turns being in the lead, though one gets there from SE clicks, and the other from my own signature link through social network and blogs.

The first one is about Eco-Domes and how you can build your own snad bag home. It’s really fun to see one go up in fast forward time through one of the youtube videos I included on the page.

The other is about earning money from home and what people are doing through this one particular program with only a one time lifetime membership of $3.

This one I drive traffic to from sites like myspace and others, and from my business related blog.

So there you are. Check them out. If you are a squidoo member already, leave me a comment, or a hello, or anything you feel inspired too.

Dance Movies and Ballroom Dancing

I’ve just posted a new squidoo lens. It’s been a while since I made one and after watching “Take The Lead” with Antonio Banderas, I felt inspired… who wouldn’t, watching Banderas in an impressive Tango scene? (BTW, you can see what I’m talking about through a youtube video on the lens)

This one is about dance movies -you know, the ones with a usually thin plot revolving around dance in one form or another. I only have a few movies featured for the moment, and do plan on adding more soon.

Ballroom dancing is all the rage now with movies and the current, very popular Dancing With The Star show. There is a certain grace, elegance, and certainly “sexual” aspect to it that makes it mesmerizing to watch.

Here’s an exerpt of the introduction:

Dancing movies inspire us. Sure, some are the epitome of campy, but they make us want to get up and move our bodies, feel the passion of dancing, run away with the dance instructor… oh, uh, ahem, ((cough)), sorry, got a little carried away there.

As I was saying… most dance movies follow a somewhat generic plot line, this being secondary to the visual candy of the dancers. After all, that’s why we watch, isn’t it? To forget our woes and loose ourselves in a magical world.

I’ve got a few titles on my renting list. When I do watch them, I’ll add them on the lens with a quick personal note.

So take a peak, and like I said, be sure to watch the videos:
