Heath. I kept staring at him, every time he was on screen, trying to recognize him from the roles and photos from before. I couldn't see it. AT. ALL. If I didn't know it was him going in there I never would've figured it out. THAT'S a performance. He was mesmerizing. And that makeup artist deserves an oscar nomination, too. His unkept hair was visceral. Boy, that was some seriously shockingly dark shit - especially his first few moments on screen with the magic trick before we knew what he was all about. He made some twisted, crazy choices with that role that make it indelible. I wish he wasn't gone - I want to see what he would've done next. From the subtle, low-key performance and choices in Brokeback Mountain (and that moment depicted in my icon) to this - I want to know what else was in him. I loved the exploration of moral ambiguity woven through the story. I think there's gotta be an actress more suited for Maggie's role - her irresistibility wasn't completely believable. There needed to be more story there too. Back story. Something. The special effects were great, the gadgets fun. And I want to know if they did some sort of CGI with camera/motion detection tracking to do two-face's makeup. That was some crazy shit. Is anyone else annoyed by Christian Bale's Batman voice? I like everything else about him - and he's a very convincing Bruce Wayne - just the voice is weird and overdone. It was worth every penny (and more), which I don't ever get to say about movies (or gasoline) anymore. I'm definitely going to see it again in IMAX. |

It's been a few weeks. And crazy ones at that. Lydia celebrated her *fifth* birthday on July 9th (tomorrow is her party). She went to Kindergarten camp for four days to get her ready for kindergarten in August. And Steve spent a week in the hospital. He had Colitis and a blocked artery. He has follow up appointments this week to see what's going on. He's been getting pretty bad dizzy spells where his eyeballs tremble.
My brother is in town and I need to get back to cleaning for tomorrow's birthday party. Just wanted to stop in and update with what's been going on |

Nymphes célestes, pardonne-nous  Statues line a roadway in the Angkor temple complex in Cambodia. A decade ago, the site drew about 300,000 tourists a year. This year, more than a million are expected. (Paul Watson / Los Angeles Times) Photos from "Too much adoration at Cambodia's Angkor temples : The crush of tourists at the sandstone ruins is taking a toll, conservationists say," by Paul Watson, July 19, 2008 Los Angeles Times
Giant stone heads with enigmatic smiles have looked down from Bayon temple's 49 towers for centuries. Experts disagree on whether they are images of an ancient Khmer king, Buddhist divinities or the Buddha himself.

I found this today while looking for dog stuff on Etsy . I know ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) twinkiechansaid she wasn't a fan of dogs wearing clothing, so i thought she'd find this especially funny.
For the record, I admit it-I do dress up my dog but I don't wear matching outfits. But maybe I should, it would make me appear like the crazy dog lady...hmm.......anyway= Bettie has super short hair and a bald belly/chest. She is just a little thing and constantly cold to the touch, which is why we put shirts or sweaters on her. And I find it funny to see a dog wearing a dress, so I dress her up-I fully admit that.... LOL
I am unpacking and putting stuff away from last weekend. I listed a few things on the website but have alot more to do. I took 300+ pics this week and need to weed thru them and do editing. I wish I had a photography elf to do this for me. I took pics of some of the stuff I sold, but not everything. Now I am kicking myself, oh well.
Also, did you ever try (really go out of your way trying!) to become friends with someone and the more you hear them talk/or are around them the less you like them? Yet they have a gang of people around them who put them on a pedestal and swoon about them acting like they are gods gift to the world. And you sit there and think WTF, do they not see how obtuse, abrassive and crass this person is??? Why do we bother? Maybe we think we SHOULD be friends, if X is friends with Y and I love X-then I should love Y too, shouldn't I?? Well, maybe not..... |

Big muddy What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses. But what went ye out for to see?
---Matthew 11: 7-9, KJV A lot of the rot afflicting the U.S. is out of people's control, but a lot isn't, and wasn't. A culture chooses its values. The greed, the immaturity at all levels and ages, the trashing of personal and public space---the lack of nurturing and conserving instead of consuming everything in sight---all these have become ingrained here, and the corrosive results are all around us. It doesn't help that the system (the totality of institutions) is primarily designed to manipulate rather than inform and protect, but most people are smart enough to know they're being scammed, and that they are participants in this corrupt game to various degrees. Therefore, why the complicity, why the passivity? The eternal question? But there are cultures that don't fold so depressingly, without hope or care. I do think it has everything to do with love. And its absence. And cultures can operate without it (in the modern sense, by substituting sentimentality for the real thing). One becomes acculturated to a mask when despairing of ever seeing the real face---or, most especially, dreading it. Some cultures simply lack a certain tenderness, wrote Margaret Mead. But it didn't mean that the culture itself didn't function quite effectively. I do think that American culture lacks tenderness. We've always been much better at hope. And it is an indispensable element for making things better, but we'll need a whole periodic table of graces to get us out of this mess. Because, as with a river, the hardest thing to do is to change its course. And there is no river like a culture. (But no strength like a commitment, the hardest thing to sustain). Because only sustained if the work is loved beyond everything else. And this is maturity, this hardship. This is the yoke. It isn't easy at all, but it is love. |

Cute little tins of putrid *mints*  The other day I spotted a cute little tin of Amarelli Licorice and couldn't resist. I'll buy almost anything if it's in a nice looking tin. This one had a 1930's style illustration of two children playing with dolls on the front. Plus it was an Italian import. Ahhhhh-- Italia mia!! Now, I like licorice-- so the fact that it contained licorice mints inside didn't bother me a bit. I finally got around to opening the tin and trying one of the mints--- SWEET JAYSUS!!!! I thought I was going to puke on the spot. I actually had to spit them out they were so vile. Yeah, licorice flavored but like industrial strength! as if the product was intented to be put into machinery--NOT a human mouth. ACK ACK-- well, I dumped them out. Now I've got a tin. I think I'll put my Ibuprofen in it. I eat that stuff like mints anymore. |

eeeetchy I'm really sorry to do this to you guys, but I just had to share this story. lee_cheri mentioned it to me over dinner the other night, and I looked it up and have been creeped out ever since. The Itch, from the New Yorker (6/30 edition) It's about the nature of itching. It's one of their long-ish articles, but well worth it for all of the bizarre information about nerves and wayward nerve signals. Read it and enjoy the mosquito-y summer! ;) |

странное состояние, наверное от перемены погоды... уши заложило как от поездки вверх-вниз по горному серпантину в Крыму, ломит голову и шею -- раньше у меня не было проблем с давлением. но состояние интересное, восприятие обострено, в равной степени не хочется ни спать, ни бодрствовать -- наверное сейчас нужно чтобы меня немного поколбасило |
