oh, drat i've scheduled my trip all wrong -- rasputina are playing a REAL show here on the seventeenth
was the hours any good? i've heard mixed reviews, but i trust your judgment. not sure if you were crying over the loss of indian food or the 'depressing' cinema experience... cheer up, you can eat polyfiberfill fish soon
No, this was actually a ..joke made at the expense of some ..other livejournal users. My point is that I went to see the hours but could have had indian food instead. This, in fact, is what made me weep bitter tears of regret, as 'the hours' one of the most cruddy examples of 'chick flicks' I have ever seen. It is almost as though the whole thing was designed with the liberal-arts 'feminist theory' 'i wear my lingere outdoors and listen to Tori Anus' dimwits in mind.
It was lamentable in the fact that it was a horrid film. And I'd much rather have had my chicken tikka masala.
Perhaps this was just a coincidence and perhaps you couldn't care less but until a short while ago I had been struggling for months in an effort to clear my mind and begin writing a series of short stories. Everytime I picked up a pen and attempted to let my conscience guide my hand I felt like I was going to choke. Not out of a lack of things to say but a lack of courage and ways to say them

I noticed that one of your icons (the one that is at the top of this page at the moment) is the symbol that the "band" Der Blutharsch uses as their main logo. I've often wondered what it's called, it's origin and meaning, etc., the only clue for me being that Albin Julius is incredibly obsessed with fascist philosophy and imagery.
If you could explain I won't have to rack my brains over my ineptness in using internet search engines =P
the symbol is a World War I medal referred to as "grand cross of the iron cross" It has nothing to do with fascist ideology/symbolism since it was actually a prussian military award first introduced in 1814. The particular version of the iron cross (mounted on silver starburst) was only issued to Generalfeldmarschall Blucher, for his part in the victory at Waterloo. It is also known as Blucherstern (Blucher Star) Needless to say, this level of the award was not intended to be a field medal.
