So much to share! Which requires effort.

Here's the week's movie review:

De Grønne Slagtere/The Green Butchers - Danish film about two outcasts that open their own butcher shop. Nikolaj Lie Kaas plays twins, and is absolutely fantastic as Eigil ("Nej." "JOO-OOO-OO!!!!"). Thought it was going to be gross and I even shut it off at one part, but I went back, and it was like a daunting-looking rollercoaster that leaves you with a giant smile on your face at the end.

Greenfingers - (I was in the "G" section at the library, ok?) Men in prison grow flowers. Total chick flick. Starring Clive Owens, who I also just saw in Beyond Borders with Angelina Jolie. Very nice with an '04 Pinot Grigio, a Darvocet, and a Lean Cuisine pizza.

Shortbus - thank you, Netflix. By far one of my favorite movies. Definitely the most sexually explicit movie I've ever seen, aside from porn, but the opposite end of the spectrum. This is from the Wiki entry:

According to Mitchell, the sex in Shortbus is often purposefully "de-eroticized" in order to "remove the cloud of arousal to reveal emotions and ideas that might have been obscured by it".

Completely true. The fact that the movie's first scenes are of a guy trying to suck his own cock are startling, but is paced so well that you find yourself looking at the characters instead of the sexuality of the act. Loved it.

There were some other rentals this week that aren't even worthy of a blurb. Moving right along.

I've had a boring week at work. After whining for approximately four straight months to TGLETSITCAFM about why he never made me breakfast, I made my own. Which took about 30 minutes, but still didn't make enough of a dent in my workday. The entire time I shoveled Quaker old fashioned oatmeal into my mouth, I glared at T and muttered "I hate you".

He said, "I know this is just some kind of psychological experiment where you just complain to me so much about why I never make you breakfast that I'm going to start making it for you just to make you stop".

I said, "Is it working?"

Then I showed him my new engagement ring.

He said, "Who are you engaged to, the guy that stocks the vending machine?"

I took the Kid to the Cradle of Christianity exhibit at the museum this weekend. I enjoyed the Chicano art exhibit upstairs much more. Then I went a little crazy in the gift shop. At especially dull moments during my work day, I turn on my ring and some techno music and have a rave break.

Speaking of dull moments that needed to be filled, the Kid got her first mani/pedi.


A fun time was had by all.
