Fun times of late. The blender that is the life of The Loop has been an interesting one. That is, at the very least, busy and somewhat less boring than watching grass grow. Let’s be real here, you’re reading this, so there’s some level of interest involved.
Milca’s friend Marissa recommended that we watch The Wicker Man. She said that I’d get a kick out of it because of my Burning Man experiences. The name kinda made me curious, but the fact that Christopher Lee is in it sealed the deal.
The basic story line (which is on the back of the case) is that a detective goes to a private island to investigate a missing girl. What he finds is an island overrun with sex hungry pagans, whose governing leader is Christopher Lee with the coolest haircut ever.
Christopher Lee has been in hundreds of B Movies, and he always gives an outstanding performance. In most cases he salvages the worst of films. This wasn’t altogether horrible, but it was still pretty cheesy. Case and point, and what will likely be the reason that you will now rent/buy/borrow/netflix this film… Christopher Lee in a dress and wig. I couldn’t make this shit up. Brilliance. I can’t and won’t say more.
then my final project for my Spanish class came and went. In the days leading up to it I was cutting, gluing, coloring, and pinning my puppets in to shape. I also had to type up the script which was really just copying the dialogue from the book while typing out stage instructions from the narration. Harry Potter y la Piedra Filosofal went over with a big smash. My professor said that the script was a bit long, so she only had me do the first 3 pages. That got me kinda bummed, but then I got a lot of compliments from the rest of the class, and then after the class I was asked by another group to help them out as an understudy, and my professor asked if I could do the same performance for her Spanish 2 class. She aslo said the my diction and pronunciation was excellent. Kudos given, and accepted.
Last night Milca, her mom, her brother and I went to visit her aunt, Christina, who has been having some health issues. She was in good spirits, but won’t be able to talk for another fortnight. The four of us left her and had Thai food in Long Beach.
Now all that is left for this weekend is the rest of my day at work, and moving the last of our stuff into Milca’s mom’s. I’m not all too excited, except that we will be able to relax when we’re done. Problem is that I don’t see that being a possibility until we’re in Oregon.
Vaginize.
