Curse of the Golden Flower



Good plot, Good but sparse kung-fu, kung-fu when it matters most, incredible imagery, sets, and costumes. Even if you don't like subtitles you'll love this movie from a purely cinematic point of view.




Got the Tunturi Stationary Bike set up in the living room. Work out and diet are all coming together finally. Give me a wedding or a short plane flight and apparently I mack. Whoda thunk it. Headed to Richmond for a 3oth B-day Bowling Bonanza. Happy Birthday Old Man Ryther. Which leads me to thoughts of my eminent 30th. Should I go to LA/Cali to see friends relatives, celebrate my Uncle I's 60th, and go to Dirk's wedding. Or say fuck it all and head to Amsterdam or Puerto Rico...hmmmmmmm. It's a toughie!!!

Why So Angry Buttercup

DAILY QUOTES

Everytime you come around
There's a bouquet for me
A corsage of promises
And I am pinned
Like a butterfly on a card
I'm naked and I'm scarred
And you're so perfect to me

Violent ties with hands like a steeple
Tell me lies with a tongue like a needle
I let the words shot down my throat
A face like an iron fist
That I can never resist
I learn the ...
~The Bravery from Tyrant

Love seeketh not itself to please,
Nor for itself hath any care,
But for another gives its ease,
And builds a Heaven in Hell's despair.
~William Blake

Weddings, Company Picnics, Tapas with friends, Movies, Wine Tastings...I live a pretty good life, I'll admit that. One thing would make it better...someone to share it all with. I feel like I'm ready for it all. I know I have a tendency to be in love with he concept of love, but I do pine for true love, the type you have to work for. I crush easy and have a few that I know are impossible, but still it's fun to crush a little, right? Random thoughts I know but that's what's bouncin around the noggin.

And yes I have a picnic injury.
