  The Saddest Music in the World  will someone to take me to see this? Isabella Rossalini with no legs who gets glass ones filled with beer.
A silent movie with Mark McKinney? Yes, this is all about one film. Air Talk (on LA NPR) is doing their weekly rundown on films, and again Im hearing its accolades. I hear Troy is terrible a la The Ten Commandments . Its as if the people making this film never read the Iliad at all. So whats the point? Then again, its Brad Pitt. Looking yummy like a woman in a certain way. Yet not to be confused with a homo! Patracles is merely his beloved cousin in this loose adaptation.
And apparently, the film is careful to have him emerge from bed with not one but two women. Very sneaky. Then again, about 1% of American audiences have any realistic conception of the life and times of the epic poem. They wont miss a beat. Ive got my foot out of the boot, sneaking in some time of fresh air and the daily tending to the wound. As usual, it kept me up at night. The bone on the outside of my foot feeling like its broken, throbbing with a low-frequency ache. Muqtada al-Sadr? Call me corrupted with pop culture, but I keep thinking of the Lion King when I hear his full name.
Hakuna Matada Yeah, Matada al Sadr. Kind of lightens the news a bit, yes? Anything to erase the images of a decapitated Nick Berg. A beach party blast tonight to celebrate the graduation of LTWR students and the books newly released by the faculty. im looking forward to it, I think. Depending on if I can pull together a confidence level from my appearance by tonight. Acne, weight, that attractive black and grey boot Ive got five hours to work at it.
