My Evilness








What kind of God are you?
Name
DOB
Favourite Color
You earthly time was spent Supplanting kingdoms, punishing tyrants and levelling the empires of the wicked with the breath of your nostrils
Your throne is fashioned from thorns and human femurs, surrounded by writhing, howling servants, with a footstool of souls on the sizzling shores of the Lake of Fire
You wear Nothing, because you don't have a body, you insubstantial beast, you
Your Godly superpower is Rivers of white-hot magma flowing from your eyes, slowly and mercilessly agonizing those who stand in your way and your fallen playthings. Forever.

Video Day

Today's day off is dedicated to catching up on videos I've been wanting to watch.

First on the list was Korn Unplugged. Man, that was fun. Not only did they bring in the strings and the small orchestra but they had a lot of fun percussion going on. They actually brought out an armonica and a marxophone. I haven't heard one of those used in a very long time. Very fun instruments. The best part was The Cure coming on and playing with them. They all looked surprisingly good. Hopefully a new generation will understand the brilliance that is The Cure.

And then there is Casino Royale. This is a Bond movie in the Sean Connery sense. There was a lot of charisma, a lot of action and not too much gadgetry. Bond had become about the gadgets and snide remarks. This bond has the remarks sure but he is more of a hard ass than we've seen in a long time. The b&w opening is classic british spy cinema. It is just a good action movie. I wish I could have seen it on the big screen.

It's April and snowing. We're dreaming of a white easter. It was 83 just a few days ago.

300 the movie

Jack and I saw 300 the other night. I'm about 8 months pregnant I didn't think I could sit for a long time... at least with out having to leave and make a potty run. I decided that with this movie I had to take the chance. The previews were so impressive I decided that dvd wouldn't do it justice. Fortunately the movie wasn't very long... or it didn't seem that way.

My gods what a good movie. The story was compelling. The cinematograpy was amazing. The performances amazing. It's an epic movie in the old sense of the word. The like not seen in Hollywood in decades. And then there was the gore. This is a movie about an Alamo-like battle. 300 men against amazing odds. There was a lot of fighting and limbs flying. After the first major bloody battle I happened to see a family walking down the stairs. They had a child with them who looked about 5 or 6. I was more horrified by that than the graphic violence in the movie. Scream alert------- JUST BECAUSE IT'S A COMIC BOOK MOVIE DOESN'T MEAN IT'S FOR KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's rated R for gods sake! I swear if the previews had shown boobies or the promise of boobies there wouldn't be any kids there. I know I saw the same previews these so called parents saw. I never would have thought it appropriate to bring Logan there. He's 10. He's got at least 4 years before he can see this one.

I am so glad I went to see this movie in the theatre. It's worth every penny to see this one.

What is sad is that Spiderman comes out when the baby is due. I'll have to wait for dvd for that one.

You are a sweet person with a very soft personality.
People become easily entranced with you. They seem to glow around you.
You have a quiet energy that can keep you active late into the night.

You Are 76% Misanthropic

Here's the truth: Most people suck. You are just lucky enough to know it.
You're not ready to go live alone in a cave - but you're getting there.

music in utero

At the baby shower in Flint Amalie was telling me how the boys pretty much listened to "Pretty Hate Machine" in utero. At first I thought, ok, Korn is a good one. They are the current faves. But then I really started thinking that I wanted her to have a great appreciation for music. So, here is the list of music that I've come up with so far that she is going to hear at the beginning of her life.

In no particular order

Korn: Untouchables
Beatles: Revolver
Tool: Lateralus
Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here
Duran Duran: Rio
Pearl Jam: Ten ( This one is for Jack)

It turns out that there will be a cd player in the birthing room. While I think any of these would work for me, it would probably be better not to freak out the doctor. For that I wil stick with the song stylings of Albadore and Hugh Caley. That will keep me and the doctor from freaking out.
