Spring –Northern Hemisphere
Well I not infrequently comment on 7 day work stretches–so now I suppose for equal time I should whine about a 12 day vacation stretch.
Bwahaha.
Well unused vacation has to be used before the end of this month and last year unfortunately I never really went anywhere–especially as I kept thinking I was going to move in two months, which even now is still my best estimate. Oh well. Que sera que it happens when it happens. Plus also 2 off days for this current year which might as well use now since knowing me I probably wouldn’t later. Just knowing I have all this time makes me feel calm, happy and relaxed.
Saw Casanova last night. It was an entertaining movie. Pretty visuals and humorous and suffuciently complicated story line in the manner of farces of the period. Heath Ledger was wry and coy as Giacamo (sp) Casanova, as of course befits such a personage. I might have to find Casanova’s Memoirs and read them sometime, though this story was one of those “true story” tales, but well done. I bought the soundtrack last night too. The theme: The Legend of Casanova” is sprightly and upbeat. Getting in touch with my past lives. Hahah Now I just need a white wig and beauty marks. Hahah
Between the beautiful soundtrack, story line complexities and colorful settings and visuals–I kept thinking back upon Shakespeare in Love. Numerous similarities–all good.
Ok…..you tell me. That was the only pic on that page I stumbled across I could put on here. I’ve always wondered how people fetishsize what they do–and the other night I bumbled onto this page of dudes and uh…balloons? Had a link to a website but unfortunately I was in one of my wtf/I don’t understand/ bleh moods and didn’t explore. In retrospect I’m sure it would have been hilarious. If I find it I’ll link on here–as a public service of course. Hahah
Oh wait–the pic has the website listed I see. Hahah BRB. Bwahaha.
I’m back. OMG. Someone tell me this is a joke. I’m not awake for this. *runs for another pot of coffee*
Quick!!! A diversion! Go here!! This is one of the funniest sites around. Hurry!
What else? Matt and I will see Underworld:Evolution tonight. Brokeback Mountain actually made it here, so catch that later this week, along with something called End of the Spear I think–cannibals, violence and nasty “true life” stuff. Good times! Yeah I’m still on a movie kick. But a few years ago I didn’t see any hardly for about 2 years because I didn’t feel like it. Well stuff on the big screen is fun though as I’ve said–drinks and popcorn are a racket from the snack mafia.

enjoy the time off! and you just now discovered foamy! – lol have fun peace and luv, Al
A 12 day vacation? That rocks, Wil. Do enjoy yourself. And now I have to go see the balloon dudes cuz I just have to know, even though I’m afraid… very afraid… of what I might find there, lol.
I think the balloon page was done by Monty Python.
i cant go near the balloon dudes. ignorance is bliss.
it does, it does me too, not so much though, I can put it off if I’m too busy, or have a bf
“The largest collection of guys and their balloons on the ‘net!” So…there are others, huh? Did those models know they were going to make love to balloons when they accepted the job? Come to think of it, it’s probably a better gig than most pornos.
ryc: I think it’s because I don’t care about others, but I say “live and let live.” Let everyone be as damaged and murderous as they want to be; that is unless they infringe on my rights (or, as a government, if any rights are being infringed). Then, they will be obliterated, assimilated/altered.
I think the Borg model would be useful in a corporation, though. It’s very efficient. Instead of physical assimilation, though: psychological assimilation. I s’pose that’s akin to nationalism, like what was seen in the individual Axis powers of WWII and, well, lots of other examples such as N. Korea. Why not corporationalism? (I’m just on a thinking spree here). I’m trying to think of any corporate culture that would fit that discription. Maybe Apple, Microsoft, or Google…but none are so strong to fit.
Movie prices are a good reason to invest in home theatre. Casanova and a gay cowboy– that Heath Ledger has range! But don’t forget his epic performance in A Knight’s Tale…
