Earlier today mom and I (proper English watch out..) were talking about my little brother and his DJ business and it really has taken off to the point where this summer they are doing two gigs per weekend sometimes, and while that is good for that business it could take a toll on their health but.. To each his own.. Burnout happens when you least expect it to.. Then mom says well you should try to do that... I said no, I won't betray my love of rock and roll to play the shit they have to play..
This past weekend I watched some programs that I have watched before, on Netflix this time, and they really are interesting..
This isn't the program on Netflix, however fairly ... it is Tiny Houses, and in the show they go out and look at tiny houses and try to decide which is the layout for them. The first couple were newly married and my feeling was if they were to start a family a tiny house isn't the way to go.. But then the next episode the couple had four children and so they were after a 600 sq. foot tiny house.. That seemed like torture for their kids who each had a bedroom the size of the entire house they would move into.. I like the tiny house movement, truth is we went looking at trailer campers back about ten years ago and were stunned at the ones called R-pods, they were small but had everything exactly the way you needed it.. Could be towed by a medium sized car.. And before that, there was a time when my dad was wanting to get one of those Scamp trailers, because it could be towed by even a small car.. very lightweight.. It seems like every year at this time I get the camping bug and look at campers like this.. But the tiny house movement is very legit.. Then there was this gal looking for a tiny house, looked at what they call a yurt which is a glorified tent, a little heavier fabric but built as sort of a circle house.. She also looked at these Earthen houses which were built by putting earth (dirt) into what looks like the bags they put dirt in when they are bagging sand to build barriers to keep flood waters out, but they put dirt, and cement and then form the house that way.. A pod type of living.. Really an interesting show to watch, the entire series is longer than the five they had there right now.. I'm hopping they will add more eventually.. They also had a show called Tiny House Builders which was even fewer at two whole episodes.. But in this case they built the tiny house for people who were using the houses as a getaway and not for permenant housing.. You would have to change every aspect of how you live to be able to pull off living in a tiny house.. The fridge would have to be small.. The shower, very small.. But I'd love to give it a try..
Dontcha hate when a movie like E.T. the extraterrestrial is considered a classic.. Man I remember seeing that in the theater.. But yep there I was watching it on my giant screen tv.. My big 19 inch... But it's still good.. A little corny but still a good flick..
