Good morning nostrworld! Its a great Wednesday morning, sunshine in the forecast, and lots of work to do. I'll be doing some house cleaning first, then we have to run into town for some supplies, then after that I can decide if I should plant my trees or make more soap. I know which one I would rather do, but I'm running out of time for the soap to cure. I have lots of other things on the list too, but at the moment I'm enjoying my coffee. Yall have a great day nostr friends, and remember that today is a gift. #coffeechain #grownostr #farmlife #homesteading #countrylife

Good morning!

Yes, the 1986 movie "Labyrinth" is widely considered a cult classic for a variety of reasons that extend beyond the mainstream. Although it initially underperformed at the box office, the film has garnered a dedicated following over the years. Its appeal is magnified by the unique layer of attraction added by David Bowie's iconic role as Jareth the Goblin King. Additionally, the movie represents a high-caliber collaboration between creative powerhouses Jim Henson, David Bowie, and George Lucas, each contributing their distinct flair to the project. In terms of merchandise and fandom, the film has spawned a range of collectibles, graphic novels, and dedicated events, further cementing its cult status.

Moving beyond these mainstream factors, several nuanced elements contribute to the film's lasting appeal. It delves into complex themes of adolescence and existentialism, elevating it from a mere children's fantasy to a narrative with depth. The film's technical artistry is notable as well; its reliance on practical effects and puppetry offers a form of aesthetic longevity that distinguishes it from CGI-reliant contemporaries. Furthermore, it incorporates a myriad of intertextual references to mythological and literary works, adding layers of meaning and inviting varied interpretations. The musical score by Trevor Jones has had a lasting impact and becomes an integral part of the movie experience. Finally, the film's influence is palpable in later works, impacting both narrative conventions and technical aspects in the realm of fantasy filmmaking. Overall, these multifaceted factors contribute to the enduring cultural significance of "Labyrinth."

Not the best emotionally today.

Good morning nostrworld! Monday morning again, and its blustery and cold outside. Its kind of a shock to the system when it goes from the 80's to cold and very strong north winds. But that's Texas, and we just have to roll with it. My coffee is extra satisfying this morning.

The Round Top Antiques show is over, so bnb bookings should get back to normal, and I'm ready for that. So I'm back to a more normal workload around here. Depending on the weather, I still have trees to plant, plus several outdoor projects to do. Hope yall have a great day nostr friends, and do your work with a happy heart. #coffeechain #grownostr #bnbstr #farmlife

Looks delicious! How do you season it?

Having my midday coffee a little late today. We just got back from the Celebration of Life for our good friend. It was nice, and we got to see some friends we hadnt seen in a while. I came home feeling a little down, and I dont feel like doing my chores. I think I'll sit on the porch while I finish my coffee, and hopefully the sounds of birds and chickens and pigeons will put me in a better mood. We loved this friend alot. #grownostr #grieving
