The Lone Ranger (2013)

“Well. That was a hot mess,” says my husband as The Lone Ranger‘s credits crawl up a scene of Monument Valley, a dispirited Tonto limping off into the sunset.
The statement is significant, in that my spouse, unlike me, is generally kind to movies. Me, I love excoriating a bad movie, detailing its sins against plot, characterization, cinematography, etc. But the hubs usually just shrugs and says, “It wasn’t good, but there were some funny parts.”
To say The Lone Ranger is a hot mess is to disparage steaming piles of poop everywhere. After all, certain types of excrement make good fertilizer. Not so, The Lone Ranger.

Been AWOL, busy, making like a hippy (growing my hair). And creating art.
Por ejemplo, this little demon, a collaboration between myself and my talented spouse. 
Little demon haz the sad, so he brings rose.
Also making jewelery* from scrap metal. This pendant’s my fave.
*”jewelery?” Seriously? Wow. Hooked on Phonics really worked for me.
