namaste all, the most recent movie that i've seen was Mad Max:Fury Road. i thought it was terrible in nearly every way that a movie could be with the sole exception being the real stunts and action bits. still... that hardly makes up for the lack of plot. there wasn't a compelling story...

namaste all, StarWars: Battlefront just dropped... goodbye social life! it's actually looking to be a pretty full winter of game releases.

i haven't tried it.... it seems... interesting :) non-dairy yogurt is a strange concept! metta, ~v

Namaste Ahanu, i had been a vegetarian for more than a decade until recently (a story for another time perhaps). in my case my view was informed by my religious practice even though my religious practice doesn't require it of me, if that makes sense. i was never a vegan in any case since a...

Salam Muslimwoman, thank you for the post :) it's going well though always interesting. it sometimes seems to be a matter of perspective. i hope to be around more as well. metta, ~v

Namaste all, thank you for the replies to this thread. that sounds like a peaceful lunch period Thomas. LOL Aussie Thoughts... maybe not meditation exactly but good nonetheless :) metta, ~v

Namaste Wil, re-reading some of my old posts makes me wonder if was all that skillful in expressing my ideas and what i understand of the Dharma. i kinda feel the same when i re-read some of my old poetry. metta, ~v

i think that's a good idea. when i used to drive a lot for work i'd do a driving meditation where i envisioned all of the bumpers and rear lights to be the smiling faces of the Buddha and that would allow me to greatly mitigate the stresses involved with commuting in the DC area. metta, ~v

:) i'm humbled. thank you

Namaste everyone, hope you are well. how's your meditation practice going? i've been inconsistent in my formal praxis however i've been making decent progress with general mindfulness and being present in the moment. i've finally gotten a place where i can set up my cushion and a small alter...

Hi Thomas :)

heya Earl :) yep seems that way.

wow... thank you Seattlegal! that's a very, very kind compliment :)

thank you cuppa. no, i wasn't aware. just catching up on things. should be interesting.

hi Steve :) thanks for the welcome. good luck with the site!

thank you cuppa (is that an acceptable abbreviation?) i was a bit more... opinionated... perhaps... when i was younger :)

i do too, Wil. i live right downtown...about two blocks from the Space Needle. here's a shot from my apartment

I do, Wil. i think that may have something to do with the games themselves though. i think a fair amount of folks my age and older tend to see "video games" as a rather monolithic whole that has a "sameness" outside of the medium which is used to convey the story of the game. that's not...

LOL :) i can relate well to those sentiments. Seattle is a pretty interesting place.
