Interesting. Von Trier gets farther and farther off the wall, doesn't he?

Gulp, I've never actually seen a von Trier movie, but I want to. I think.

How was your appointment-free Wednesday? I hope all's going well with the houseguests.

Wednesday was a good day for napping, and I did. :-) Guests arrive about 2:00 today, and their bed isn't even yet made. Well, I've got time. Also, they're my parents, so they'll put up with whatever I dish out to them. When they visit my Grandma they always spend 2-3 days doing maintenance around the house. Making a bed will seem like a breeze.

(Actually, I'll have the bed made in the next few minutes, I'm just enjoying being a little snarky.)

As for von Trier, I guess I've only seen one film by him -- "Zentropa," also known as "Europa," according to IMDB. You may want to check it out as an introduction to him.

Snarky is good, especially in re: parents. Glad you got a nap. Well done.
