It’s just not in me today. Normally, a day at work like this one would be fairly routine. Nothing major happening, a few people out of the office, no big deal. I had thought today was going to pass quickly, in anticipation of London. Instead, I find myself more and more disheartened as I settle back into the daily grind as usual for the week. Plus, all day today I’ve had to explain to the people I work with why the vacation was cancelled. And on top of all that, I’m going to have to do something really immoral to get back ANY money that I spent on the airfare/hotel. I can’t wait to find out what comes next.
In other weekend news, I saw about 3/4 of “Brotherhood of the Wolf” on Friday night. I’m still not entirely sure of what I thought of the movie. Granted, I really didn’t understand the conclusion, as I had to leave the theater about 1 hour in to take a cell phone call (ugh), but still… I will, however, say this. The French? They are some really screwed-up people. (I mean, the whore’s naked breast dissolving into a hillside?) There was, however, some excellent violence, and rather casual nudity, so it wasn’t a total loss, even if there was an utter lack of stuff that done blowed up real good. And the subtitles never really bothered me. (Although there was a character called Chivalier, and you have no idea how hard it was to resist going “Haw-haw-haw” ever time he was mentioned. Maybe I’ll save that for the MST3K version.) Overall, tho, an enjoyable film, even if I wasn’t in any mood to enjoy the ending.
