Iron Man Rocked. The clips on the commercials are a taste of the film not just the best part.
The sushi patches are a little smaller then I was expecting but they still have that great absurdity factor. |

On each stop for the light rail they have a little box on a post inviting people to either turn the wheel or pull the chain or press the button. When you do it shows a little locally made film usually about Minnesota or some aspect of Minnesotan life.
The one I watched this morning showed a guy ice fishing. They have the long shot of a guy sitting on a bucket in the middle of a frozen lake with a couple of ice houses in the distance. He sits for a while and tugs on the line a bit. Then after looking a little dissatisfied he gets up and moves his hole about two yards away. The 'hole' was a disk of black plastic.
I thought it was funny. |

So For Mothers/Birthday my sister suggested(stated) taking mom to see Davinci Code. This is the same evening mom had a dozen questions involving Everybody Loves Raymond. She kept losing track who was whom and how the characters are related to each other. I can't imagine what sitting for two hours thru an intense mystery film would do.
The last two times someone tried to take mom to a movie she changed her mind at the last minute and ended up taking a nap. I don't imagine that this will be any different.
I want to find some generic dog film for her. Maybe something to do with the Westminster Dog Show. Something without a plot that we would have to follow. I hope the classic disney films of the lost animal wouldn't be too patronizing. I remember watching those when I was a kid.
Mom is getting even more confused and scattered. I had to repeat the time I always pick her up for church four times this afternoon. I finally had to say that I would call her before I head over. We'll see how that works. |

It's called Zen Sarcasm and that she stole it from edwarddain.
I like 14.
1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me,
for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much
leave me the hell alone.
2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and
leaky tire.
3. Its always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your
neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.
5. Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be
promoted.
7. Always remember that you're unique. Just like everyone else.
8. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.
9. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of
car payments.
10. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.
That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their
shoes.
11. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
12. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish,
and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
13. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was
probably worth it.
14. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.
15. Some days you're the bug; some days you're the windshield.
16. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
17. Good judgment comes from bad experience, and a lot of that
18. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put
it back in your pocket.
19. A closed mouth gathers no foot.
20. Duct tape is like 'The Force'. It has a light side and a dark side,
and it holds the universe together.
21. There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works.
22. Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your lips are
moving.
23. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
24. Never miss a good chance to shut up.
25. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative
on the same night. |

The savage love section of this weeks city pages has the answers to the What Sexual Positon would you name after Santorum.
I don't think I could post them here but I did make a link. Don't drink anything while reading it. It'll go right out your nose.
http://citypages.com/savagelove/
Personally I would like to drop Santorum into San Fransico with a sign on his back that said "Anybody's". He might like it.
Sorry about the stereo type but you get the idea. |

maatnofret had explained to me why the film Time Bandits is really about the creation of an avatar. That the real point of the film is to get the map to Kevin who will then go thru time and change things for the better. She went into great detail and even brought up the consept of gnossism(I know I got that wrong. Blame the Demiurge)
At the time I thought that she was going a little too deeply into the film but the more I look at the charactor development in other Terry Gilliam film I can't say she's wrong. The Fisher King deals bluntly with a guy being saved from himself really.
I think what I have a problem with is that I watch this kind of film for a distraction and going into the subtle meaning of the underlining metaphor I have to start thinking about it. I watch some movies not to think. |

| Elenore Rigby at the mega mall |
[May. 23rd, 2003|07:17 am] |
I went to the Mall of Capitalism wednesday to listen to my boy play with his orchestra. The performance was in one of those cheesy theaters in the middle of Camp Snoopy so they had to compete with the rides. A roller coaster went by in the middle of Elenore Rigby and it actually worked.
Where are all the lonely people.....
Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!
I was a little bothered by the mothers who used this time to chat. I'm sure everyone has heard these song before but I wanted to hear them.
Before the concert we had time to play around. They still have to cheesy shooting gallery I've always liked. Leslie didn't notice the NO Flash Photo sign and took a picture of me and Spence. Everything in the gallery went off. It surprised the heck out of Leslie. I've wondered what would happen if you did that.
I managed to limit my patch consumption at Hot Topix. |

Every time I see a picture of a terrorist on the news his/her picture is shown as a playing card. Did I miss a joke somewhere because I think that just seems wrong. |

There's a guy at work who mooches change and encouragement. He sits down near me at my desk and after staring at me for a few minutes will ask if it's all worth it. He tells me he lives in a two bedroom apartment and has a junker car. This is not the life he wanted. He seems to expect it to be given to him. I remind him I live in a one bedroom and walk to work. I punctuate this with sucks to be you.
While I was waiting for the bus downtown a lady walked up next to me and asked about the bus then went into her route home and why she hadn't quit smoking quit smoking yet.
I engage other people at the bus stop occasionally. I don't know why your not suppose to talk in elevators or while waiting for a cab. OK striking up a converasation at the urinal is never wise. I'm worried that I sound more desperately lonely then socially bored. |

How come I have family members who have known me all my life feel I don't know any better and LJ people who never met me feel I'm a very intelligent guy?
A while ago I invited my best friend and her son to Thanksgiving dinner at the estate. My sister took her aside and said that it was nice she was friends with me.
"He not the brightest person in the world."
Since when did I claim to be.
"All fools beleive themselves to be wise men and all wise men know they are fools."
I go for all the intellectual stuff but I don't really think of myself as an intellectual. I don't beleive I'm any smarter then anybody else I choose to use the pocket calculator I've been given. I hate intentional ignorants. People who don't even make the effort. I hate it when an assumption is made without investigation or research. |

Well Hell week is over. After sleeping really well and downing a cup of coffee I get a phone call from the boss saying come back thursday morning. So I'm going to be staying up for a twenty four hours to get used to the day shift again.
I'm sure I'll have one of those deeply introspective entries around four in the afternoon wednesday. I don't know why that happens when I'm very tired or a little drunk.
I've been taking moments here and there considering where I am at this point. I'm close to being hired as a permanent employee at a company doing something new that I seem to do well. I'm driving a car. (cringe) And I'm going out into the world and meeting people. Not too shabby. |

I had a realization today. I've always considered my self a printer. One of the things about my bouts of unemployment is that I couldn't define my self by what I did. In the time I've spent outside of the inkroom I've come to terms with the fact that it has nothing to do with who I try to be.
If I am anything
I am my art, the coat you see in the default picture.
I am the artsy fartsy movies I shove in friends faces. I am the pictures I need to start taking again.
I am the Shakespeare plays I love involving hippies and neosocialism.
I am popart with silverware.
I am becoming juggling to Samuel Becket plays.
I am Tom Waites in german.
I am angels in wool coats listening to Peter Faulk.
I am raspberry mocha.
I'm klesmer music set to swing.
I'm the fool who talks back to the king.
I'm Guiness swilled out of a leather mug.
I am the light dot my cat tries to catch.
I am the lords prayer on a Doctor Pepper sign.
I am a vintage candle stick phone hooked up to a computer on a vintage metal desk.
If I am anything I am the book shelf I painted for Spencer with the last lines from The Lorax...
Now said the Oncler that your here that word of the Lorax is perfectly clear "Unless" someone like you cares a who awfull lot nothing is going to get better. It's not.
I am celebrating my new found employment so
I am a little drunk.
With my inhibitions lowered this is what I chose to write about. |

I stopped in at St.Sabrina's to ask about a tat and I noticed how they displayed some of the piercing gear. They had plastic ears, noses, eyebrows, and other more intimate bits and pieces. I assume they have get them from catalogs. What struck me as amusing is that there had to be a whole development process with meetings and planing to make a demo dingle dangle and the person who designs them must get asked at parties. "What do you do for a living?"
I'm sure the person who first made rubber doggy doo goes thru the same thing but with less pride. I think there would be less prestige make plastic crap then plastic carps. |
