I watched the final instalment in the Antoine Doinel movies by Truffaut yesterday. I thoroughly enjoyed them. Paris in the '70s certainly appeals to me. I did some reading about Truffaut. It's a pity he died so young. 
I started watching Libeled Lady last night. It's a '30s romantic comedy with William Powell, Myrna Loy, Spencer Tracy and Jean Harlow. It's been really enjoyable so...

It's amazing how much a good workout can lift your mood. I was feeling down in the dumps. I biked hard for 45 minutes and now I feel great.

i think it may be bike-riding...always awesome.

I had fondue last night. I will be walking for about 6 1/2 hours today me thinks. 
You know, at the risk of incurring administrative wrath, I'm not as happy with the way SG presents the pictorials on the first page these days: seeing all of the sets with the comment count right under them seems cruel. I always feel sad for the women who don't make 200 comments.
I think I'm going to stop commenting on pictorials as I'm starting to...

rodan:
Yay for funky glasses!
I hardly ever comment on the sets FWIW, it does seem a bit weird to me. "Wow, you're hot babe!" - sigh.
And making comments on the artistic quality seems a bit weird too for the most part given the REST of the comments tend to be "Wow, you're HOT!"

There's a small problem with my bed. I can't get out of it. I slept 9 hours last night and still had to use superhuman will to leave it this morning. Did I mention I bought comfy new pillows too?
I no longer have a bed in my bedroom. Where my bed used to be an urban oasis now lies. It's all veiled dancers, gently...

A good bed is a good investment.
I went for the king size with super mattress after having to sleep on an air mattress for a couple of months.

Yes, a good bed is so critical! Imagine, you were spending 1/3 of your day (approximately) in the old, mishapen bed... a good, comfortable mattress does a world of good for your health and sanity... here's to both!
I have called my new bed after my first crush, Patricia. I don't care what anyone thinks, we're just two crazy kids in love. Damn the world!
OH, and before I go curl up with her, I should mention I just saw a perfectly charming french movie, Baisers vols (Stolen Kisses). I think I've developed a crush on Jean-Pierre Laud as well. I'm going to...

Gotta see Bed and Board, then. Speaking of Laud cameos in Goddard films, he has a funny little bit in Weekend, a film which is great for about the first 2/3 and gets kinda bogged down... but yeah, see those and The 400 Blows (w/ kid-Laud).
So today is the day my new bed and air conditioners are supposed to arrive. I planned the day as a wasted Saturday as they said delivery between 9 and 5, and my experience with other deliveries lead me to believe it would be after 5.
I'm in bed about twenty five minutes ago, 3 minutes to 9, and my phone rings. It's the delivery...

Hello, small elephant with an umbrella.
Never thought I'd see you again.
P. S.
Dumpsters make great toilets. If you've never tried it you don't know what your missing.

How awesome for you!
So in the interest of being more fiscally responsible, I finally bit the bullet and contacted two online credit reporting agencies to get a current financial snapshot.
It was a lot better than I thought. It's interesting to see the number of data errors that were on both reports though. I'm pretty middle of the road credit wise. It's sorta inspiring me to start paying...

It's an "all of the girls there would, in general, be totally bored and not content with a guy like me, not to mention that I'm between 10 and 18 years older than them" type of sigh. She had mostly dark blue hair with either black or some other dark, dark lipstick, a slender face with beautiful angles and lines, and IBTs with a proportionately small body - probably five feet two or less. She could probably pass herself off as an elf, if she wanted to. I don't recall if she had any tattoos. They were small or minimally visible if there were any. I'd guess she's early 20's. We even made eye contact at least two or three times as my chair was being turned towards her and she smiled when I smiled at her. But I think she was probably just intrigued that someone wearing dress slacks, dress shoes, a dress shirt, and a tie was getting a hair cut there.

Thanks Im tryin to take care of myself but it is hard since he is usually the one who takes care of me.
You know how your mother would tell you not to read scary comics or such before bed? Well, I dreamt about The Thing all night.
In other news, it seems my bed is trying to make amends before I turf it. I've actually been finding it moderately comfortable.

I watched John Carpenter's The Thing tonight. I enjoyed it, but I had a creepy real life parallel when I had to clean up one of my guinea pigs afterwards. He's really old and he has a tumor. As I was cleaning the bits he can't get to anymore I couldn't help wincing and feeling my skin crawling every time my fingers brushed the lump....

That's pretty big. But, like you said, he's probably oblivious to it. The Thing was pretty good for its time. I remember some of the freaky visuals. Or more like I can't forget some of the freaky visuals.

Today was *quite* something. I'm ready to crawl into a hole and sleep for a few centuries. Of course my hole would still have my crappy bed and I'd probably sleep badly. C'mon Saturday and my new bed.
My workday was filled with botch ups, angry people and just general stress. I think this might be somewhat related to it being the deadline for mailing...

Hm. Somehow, going from Rolemaster to D+D seems like a step backward... 
I just got The Wind Will Carry Us, a very "realist" Iranian movie about some guys going to a remote village to film a death ceremony. One of those slow-going movies that ends up being quit satisfying in its humanity n such.
I haven't seen The Libeled Lady. It's been a while since I got an older film; there's some I always think of getting, like Double Indemnity, Dark Passage, etc.
