crucible of ennui

To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.

I got my newest charm a few months back… and I LOVE it!!! Cindy totally exceeded my expectations! I can’t wait to get a new one started. I think I’m going to ask her to create something with an “Alice in Wonderland” theme, maybe a bottle with a “drink me” tag or a little cake with “eat me” on it. Yeah… I think “eat me” is totally appropriate.

From my friend Eric Hansen -

Good Judgement comes from experiance. Experience comes from bad judgement. James Joyce 

he peers intently
shadows nor dust motes be seen
he’s fucking with us

The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity.

We were latchkey kids. On the weekends Andie and I were left mostly alone - to do chores, homework and keep out of trouble until either Mom or Dad got home.

Saturday mornings rocked. Scooby-Do, Robotech, Looney-Tunes, Thundercats - OMG. I loved cartoons. But after cartoons, my favorite show came on.

Kung Fu Theater.

Every Saturday from 11 to 1 the best and cheesiest Kung Fu movies were shown. The 10 Tigers of Shaolin, Drunken Master, Dragon Lord, Dirty Ho, Night Orchid, and my personal favorite, Master of the Flying Guillotine.

I love that movie. Every so often it’s shown somewhere late at night and I HAVE to watch. I love the sound effects and bad english dubbing.

The last Kung Fu movie I really enjoyed was Kung Fu Hustle. Hysterical. And at the beginning of this summer we saw Kung Fu Panda - also a winner. Even Catherine and Glenn enjoyed it. I also saw that Jet Li/Jackie Chan flick The Forbidden Kingdom. FUN!

I guess what I’m really trying to say is give me a Kung Fu action movie any day of the week and I’m happy.
