The night in Muddy Water.

I upda­ted my wish list and put it in my profile…hint, hint. I am going to settle in to finish up a paper, and read two books I was given today, two books I pro­bably wouldn’t have purcha­sed, but as I was given them I’m going to take a shot.

The first is “Han­ni­bal Rising”, I know some peo­ple pan­ned it but I am fond of the series and although “Silence of the Lambs” was gro­tes­que it is one of my all time favo­rite movies. The other is a book gea­red more toward parents, at least it appears that way, it’s called “Pac­ka­ging Girlhood”; I’m going to breeze through tonight anyway.

I am bur­ning “Muddy Waters — The Chess Box”. I borro­wed it and I have to give it back tomo­rrow. Good Times.

I chan­ged to this from the overtly green as it is easier on the eyes. I have no design skills and although it does feel weird having a tem­plate someone else has I am going with it for the holi­days. It doesn’t have wid­gets though and that is killing me.

All my link sug­ges­tions will be on either Thurs­day or Fri­day now, unless I am refe­rring to an article or pro­mo­ting the Dar­fur site or article I have writ­ten; that is unless they are refe­ren­ces. I find I need some kind of sche­dule as well, and when school resu­mes struc­ture must return.

That having been said, Rio has a kick-ass post for those lea­ning toward poe­tic thought and she has a video to accom­pany it. Trans as always has a lot of beau­ti­ful wor­dage going on but her site is by appro­val only. I think it is well worth trying to get approved.

I hadn’t been to Ned Rosen’s site in some time (dirty lens), it was get­ting a little per­so­nal and I wasn’t com­for­ta­ble going there. Artists tend to “go there” and I think my diving to the right into anth­ro­po­logy ins­tead of taking that left road into pure art was due to the fact I was never com­for­ta­ble “going there” publicly; I stop­ped by Ned’s a cou­ple days ago and lo and behold, Ned is married to woman from Israel — Aya/ woman / artist/ — who he met online.

There site louche lab on my side­bar, so cool.

Also, go vote for the Suda­nese Thin­ker at the Weblog awards. That link takes you directly to the vote for his blog. Oh, and email the link to your non blog rea­ding friends and ask them to vote as well. Con­si­der it a research pro­ject. ;)
For fun.

I know, yada– yada– yada…awards..blah, blah, ba hum­bug, blah… but that having been said I want you all to vote for him daily until the end.

  • voted girl, the city mis­ses you.

  • I really need to update my Christ­mas wish list as the jour­ney towards com­ple­ting these two screen­plays has left me with the rea­li­za­tion my movie trea­sure trove is seriously lac­king. Star­ting today I’ve deci­ded I need everything that Sarah Polley has ever done since she is one performer/director who has yet to let me down in the qua­lity and range of her work. Today, My Life Without Me; tomo­rrow, the world.

    After that, I need to reple­nish my stash of belo­ved 80s teen/coming-of-age sto­ries as that’s the type of sto­ries I write so i might as well learn from my forbearers.

  • You asked. I did – vote that is

  • I don’t keep a wish list. Things I desire don’t have price tags. Besi­des, as we all know, Christ­mas … is a hum­bug! (I’m in the pits … but you knew that.)

  • Girlhood can be packaged?

    I bet­ter get down to my neigh­borhood gro­cer before they’re all gone in the holi­day rush.

  • Ooooh, the Chess Box. I’ve had my eye on that. You’re right, that was a really video Rio did. Maybe sha­ring a state with me was hol­ding her back.

  • Muddy Waters — burn me a copy if you still have it. Not as much of a fana­tic as you but if someone is willing to make me a copy I’ll take it.

    ” yada– yada– yada…awards..blah, blah, ba hum­bug, blah…”

    I’m impres­sed.

  • GIRL:me too, it.

    mojo: bet­ter get star­ted on that list.

    pia:lol

    oc: awww, cheer up. Just loo­king at the lights and eating is fine with me.

    dan: it can and has been for quite some time.

    doug: You must get it, you must.

    john: you should be.

  • I read Han­ni­bal Rising, you might as well read it if you have read the rest.

    I love your yada yada part too. Quite impressive.

  • I come back and everything is so fes­tive. It looks like a candy­cane threw up in here, but in an attrac­tive way.

  • See, I like the white. Even with the whole left thing (even though I’m mostly left myself) I can tolo­rate it all bet­ter now. No, I don’t know why.

    Silence Of The Lambs was much bet­ter, and so much more ori­gi­nal than it’s sequels. They should have offe­red Jodie Fos­ter more money because she was so much more impor­tant IMO.

    Besi­des, what other movie demons­tra­tes a man tuc­king his penis bet­ween his legs? NONE!!!…

  • Save the Han­ni­bal Rising for me I’ll read it.

    Until then I am in ten days of hell.

    I know you don’t copy and dis­tru­bute CD’s, that would be ille­gal but if it is on your com­pu­ter I’d love to lis­ten to it.

    Peace out.

  • As a side note, both Clerks 2 and Club Dread had sce­nes of “tuc­kage”. It appears to be a wides­pread phenomena.

  • Yikes I totally mis­ses these as word­press is no lon­ger sen­ding me my com­ments via email. I’m sure it is again something I did but I don’t have time to deal with it.

    Leigh girl friend, I mis­sed you. Yea it’s fes­tive alright. lol
    Ben­nett: My side­bar up until the least tem­plate was always on the left though. I deal bet­ter with it that way– you never com­plai­ned before…actually the book wasn’t bad for what is was a prequel

    G: peace —  out

    dan: one of those “I didn’t need to know” pie­ces of trivia.

  • Oh..see..I was thin­king left..political..see…I really should stop thin­king political.
