Not fleeting...I love the tiny buildings and landscapes that go with model railroading.
The trains are neat but miniature houses and buildings just make me so happy...its nutty

I was going to add 'not so fleeting' xe2x80xa6 are you aware of Rod Stewart

Evidently he makes these whilst in hotels on tour...

He was on the front cover of "Railway Modeller" or some such - which was odd, from the BBC news it seems he rents adjacent hotel rooms and works on a building at a time. Interesting he chose the USA in the 50s ? or earlier...

For sure. Need more glass crap now. I've claimed a shelf on the floor-to-cieling entertainment center as my own, for bric-a-brac and spun glass and diamond-cut pressed garbage.

I really "appreciate" The Plague Dogs ("love" is a strange word for such a thing), yeah! I never did complete the book (no real reason, except for a criminal lack of focus, though what I did get through had a lighter and more "YA"-oriented tone that doesn't necessarily appeal to me). I don't think I've ever not cried at the end of the film.

Watership Down is a great film as well (Again, bought the book. Never cracked it :lol: ). One of those things I remember from childhood, but didn't see again as an adult until a long time later. Made an impression either way. I watched it on TCM in, like, 2015 or 2016 and became suicidally despondent for a prolonged period of time. It got to me in a very strange way, but I suppose I was just in a bad place at the time. This time directly correlates with my obsession with the song "Bright Eyes". :lol:
