The latest on this gal who likes me. We are at that bullshit period where we can't speak to one another because niether one of us wants to appear over-eager or desperate. Dating sucks. Why can't you be eager to get to know somebody, and tell them so? Noone has come out swinging a committment, so why the stupid dance?

Daycare teacher? How can I even think about The Big Blue?

The first two times I saw the film were in theater and on VHS.It was the butchered American release that ended with Jacques in the surface, cavorting with the dolphin. Not Besson's vison at all...

The (director's cut) ending? As I see it...

It's all about Besson's passion for the sea and the life within it and his admiration for the actual people who inspired his screenplay.

Jacques never felt truely comfortable around people - he was "a fish out of water."

His friend (and the only person who really understood him) Enzo has died (and been returned to the depths) and Johanna has, even though she hopes he will return safely, agreed to let him go. He is now free to surrender himself to and spend eternity with his one true lifelong love, the ocean. I consider, it if not a happy ending, a profoundly joyful one.

...or perhaps the dolphin really does swim him to the surface and he lives happily ever after with Rosanna Arquette. It would work for me.

Well, there was one other person who needed to set him free before he could make his final dive...

His physical body was the one thing that was holding him back. During his dives, he was able to alter his physiology, slow his heartbeat and exist in a state of oxygen deprevation. He'd reached and then gone beyond physical human limitations. This was his "wake up call" - it was time to take the next step, to go to the next level. To go somewhere his body could not. To become one with eternity.

The DVD is now out of print. I'm hoping that the next realease will include a commentary track.

How did we not know there was gallons and gallons of water on the moon? Where we not there? Did we not drive history's most expensive golf cart there? Did it just skip NASA's mind to dig a damn hole? I want to know how you miss significant quantities of ice on what is for all intents and purposes a giant cosmic dust bunny.

So, who's up for an impromtu 3am flea dip at Worm's house?

Yeah, I used the "F" word. Luvamoose and I were laying around watching TV when I looked down to scratch her belly and WAMMO a group of little black speks scattered on her skin.

OH HELL NO. I am extremely live and let live. I'm quite Buddhist for a Catholic. But you DON'T...

I have been anti-breast augmentation for a long time. 100%, except in the case of mastectomy or accident or medical condition. I'm just not fond of fake boobs, I don't like the look and I'd really like to get women to a place where they like their bodies with education and empowerment and self-esteem, not surgery. I have never offered my opinion to any woman,...

Well, I didn't fall in love the other night. I had some good pizza, excellant conversation, and was introduced a really nice Lesbian girl, she's a cutie- I think we're gonna be fast friends, but negative on the amour.

I also found out a gal I had a very strong crush on just got married. Congratulations to her and whatever lucky lucky guy gets to...

Just saw the Avatar trailer and almost pissed myself.

When Lucas has become a cartoon menace, decent Spielburg projects are the minority, Tarantino seems to have forgotten his bidness, Bruckhiemer has seemed to transform into a guy who only knows how to blow crap up in front of a camera, and the Hobbits are on hold, leave it to James Cameron to drag aliens up...

I turned all my lonliness and blah into positive energy today. I got something like 25 things done including mowing the yard, twice. The first time it didn't look very good, it's very dry here.

AND I have a date tonight, with a beautiful woman.

Too bad she's a Lesbian I've known since Jr. High. She's one of my oldest and dearest friends and brighter...
