Talkie Tuesday: Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron

 

"They say the mustang is the spirit of the West."

 

Hello everyone!

 

After so much epic-ness in one place, it's time to scale back just a little and figure out how things used to be done back in the day, at this point well over twenty years ago.

 

I can't even fathom it to be honest.

 

This movie released so long ago at this point!

 

And yet it's still so great.

 

Now if only I could find the Sinbad one animated online somewhere ...

 

I digress. Before I head out to the open waters, I have to head back in time to when the Wild West wasn't just a story, but actually a place to be discovered and, for lack of a better word, tamed.

 

There's plenty of movies about it out there, but this one is near and dear to my heart, because of course it's about horses. It's Spirit, Stallion of the Cimarron.

 

Tome Thursday: Long Winter

 

Hello everyone!

 

So I had a plan for this week's blog post and figured I'd follow it to the letter, until the moment I picked up a very random e-book on my Kobo reader ... and the plan went right out the window.

 

As far as things go, my plans often don't stick, this is the truth of it.

 

I just read too much!

 

And this particular book went and managed to break my heart, which was just as well after the disappointment that the book previous to that one managed to dredge up.

 

Sometimes, I swear, I manage to pick up the most ridiculous books to read, but thankfully tonight's topic isn't one of them.

 

No, tonight's one is just so beautiful and heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time, I can't even begin. I'm going to have to though, as the intro is getting long and I bet you'd all just want to jump straight into the post from here on out.

 

So without further ado, I present to you: Long Winter!
