Over the Moon

Feb 15, 2004 01:02

Many years ago I made a mental agreement with myself that while shooting on location I would continuously try to find at least one simple curio from wherever I happen to be. Whether I am conveniently close to home or thousands of kilometers away I still search for the city’s treasures to call my own. These days the trinkets are more geared ( Read more... )

Thank you, Liv. I wish the same for you.

To address from before: the little blue pills that I am referring to are a recent medical phenomenon and not the little blue pills that Abraham Lincoln took to treat his bout of melancholia (though that theory is still being debated by historians). Mind you, I’m not complaining about said use of little blue pills and am definitely not adverse to the effects of those little blue pills because ultimately, I can be a little self-serving.

My input for the Playstationers’ Booster Club: definite “yea” on the blender issue. After all, they’re getting to that stage where “puree” is practically the preferred preparation of dinner. I am not one to underestimate the value of kitchen appliances or accessories, so please take this as my official RSVP to the Pampered Chef party that you’re planning to have after the required ceremony for award nominees.

As for Vernon, I can’t help but be reminded of that film that starred Gregory Hines and Mikhail Baryshnikov entitled White Nights. In that riveting film, Gregory Hines’ character was a dancer that ( ... )

I guess I can admit it if you insist on telling everyone that I am forced to guzzle appetite suppressants. Oral Phentermine Hydrochloride is no joking matter, Craig. My body mass index isn’t as impressive as the FDA would like, and I am on the verge of losing my prescription. You will have to fill me in on how that benefits you. I’m afraid even in my vast knowledge of blue pill literature, your involvement falls flaccid ( ... )

I don’t know what you’re trying to say, John. Everyone knows that Phentermine Hydrochloride presents as a white powdery substance when in solid state. And if you are taking Adipex, then I insist that you stop. You don’t need it and I’m affright that your Adipex habit may cancel out the effect of the little blue pills that I referenced earlier ( ... )

We’re not living in the Matrix, Craig. You failed to research the sugary blue coating that makes swallowing bearable. If you do not accept my farfetched argument then I will have to point to the lovely over the counter 12-hour pain reliever (after just 1 pill!), Aleve. Though I’m still questioning why you insist on pointing out my aches and pains, Craig. How that effects other medication, well I will have to consult with my physician ( ... )

I think I may have purchased a pair of aged and cracked sandals off the very same man, or at least someone very similar. Then again, I could have dreamed everything, or I could be making this all up in order to have a good story in just a few lines. I haven't decided yet.

As evidence by my overabundance of words, I say it is quite impossible to tell a good story in without waxing on and on. Though I must admit I am quite interested in seeing these cracked sandals. They sound quite extraordinary. I'm tempted to dare you to explain them in detail even, a task I am quite positive you would meet with flying colors.

All I needed was the merest hint that you wished to hear about them to begin telling you of every curve and flap of leather. The shoes, of course, do not fit. Most likely, I would not have bought them if they did, nor would I have spent such a ridiculously large amount of money on them. They are several sizes too small at least, and when forced onto my feet, cause the most splendid red marks, the texture of the no-longer soft leather having worn away patches of skin where my first toe meets my foot. This pair of sandals, which are a cheap knockoff of birkenstocks, were badly made, as is evident in the fraying stitches and the tendency for the crude varnish on top of the leather to flake off in large pieces. Once intended to be a fetching red, they have deteriorated into an unpleasant terra cotta. One would imagine that these shoes have had a hard life, possibly being abused or put to work in the hot Malaysian sun, though for most of their tyrannical reign, they have been sitting in my closet, enjoying all of the comforts of true ( ... )

So you're saying that your sandals talk to you? Yea, you took the bait! You see, Viggo, I was simply looking for a fair way to admit that my chair speaks to me on a regular basis. She's actually quite the conversationalist. Just the other day she explained to me the mechanics of the entire English language. I fell asleep around comma splices and I am sure she will be testing me shortly. Damn intangible intelligence.

Johnny, you should contact Paul Reubens. He had a talking chair as well.

How intriguing. Vernon probably sold more than one chair. There should be a talking chair family reunion.

What an interesting tale of love about a chair. As long as it makes your life content, it was a well bought piece. *smiles*

Yes, indeed. I should probably call up my photographing friend and thank him.
