There was a tame-ish possum in my driveway last night!

I pulled in and there he was like a big grey cat caught in the headlights, so I turned them down and quietly locked the car, not wanting to disturb him, and all the time thinking "don't be gone! Don't be gone!"

And he didn't go! He sat there and stared at me!
And then he took off ahead of down the path to my front door!
Climbed up the lemon tree and stared at me with his big brown eyes and his globby little paws clasped together

I cut up some apple for him and left it on the roof of the shed and around the base of the tree.

His name is Benjamin.

Come back Benjamin!

I have never seen a split tongue that I thought looked good. Some look better than others (the ones that have been sutured to produce the "rounded" natural look are better).

Art is easy to love.
It's appeal doesn't require the wall it's hung on to be attractive.

Fashion is difficult to love.
It's appeal requires your body to be attractive.

See Eastern Promises if you haven't already.
Not perfect, it has some schmaltzy dialogue...but fascinating, a good script (mostly) and brilliant, believable performances from the cast. No one-dimensional "bad guys" in the entire film. Goes into the history and meaning of tattooing amongst the vory v zakone.

Plus Viggo Mortensen must be the only man capable of being a hot-looking scumbag

Maybe I have bad taste. I don't know...

(I must add, his character was not really a scumbag).



So I bought this because it was so interesting:
