okay, I fess up that if I got a catsuit the first thing I would do with it is crawl on the floor, or see if I could dangle over a table or something, pretending to evade laser eye beams.

Topkapi and other heist movies really fucked with my personality at some level

damnit and that in turn reminded me of this guy I managed to alienate a few years back who I *really* liked.

STOP THINKING ABOUT KISSING GUYS DURING THE ART VIDEOS

* a mere 4 minutes later *
THEN THE EARL SPOKE TO HIS CHIEF ARCHER FIN (OR WHO WAS A FINN AND AN EXPERT ARCHER) AND SAID "SHOOT THAT TALL MAN BY THE MAST." FIN SHOT, AND BROKE EINAR'S BOW AS HE WAS DRAWING IT. "WHAT WAS THAT, THAT BROKE WITH SUCH A NOISE?" ASKED THE KING. "NORWAY, KING," ANSWERED EINAR, "FROM YOUR GRASP."

clearly what would go great on a quiet introspective morning like this is Amon Amarth's "Twilight of the Thunder God" album. *click*

I'm still thinking about Puss in Boots the Last Wish. I'm really struck by how they effectively tell a story that *could* be a sprawling mess. New characters (there are a lot!) get introduced *through* their actions, so you know who they are without needing explanation. I really think this is a must-see for film reasons, not just because it hits stuff that appeals to me.

listening to the John Barry "Dawn Raid on Fort Knox" gets me to 

Well I've that it's gold
I've heard that it's a finger
Hey don't shoot me
I'm just the bloody singer
Some folks like 'em bronze
Others like 'em silver
But this man loves his gold
It is his favorite thinger
Goldfinger!

"You couldn't keep a cow out of this place"

I SAW A RICH MAN'S HEARTH BLAZING BRIGHT
WITH A COLD CORPSE OUTSIDE THE DOOR
IT'S BETTER TO BE ALIVE
THE LIVING CAN KEEP A COW

* predictably puts on the Thirteenth Warrior soundtrack *
* equally predictably, mimics drawing and loosing arrows - with non existant bow, arrows or thumb ring - during the "The Tatars! The Tatars!" part *

* proposes sequel in which Puss, exiled from the Kingdom of Granada, must travel far north with 12 wolves to defeat an ancient evil *

I fess up that during the "Mama Luna" part of Puss in Boots the Last Wish, I couldn't *not* think of the line "My name is Ahmed ibn-Fadlan, ibn-Rashid, ibn-Hamid, ibn-Alabas, and things were not always thus."

I love how communist types are eager to point out only the atrocities that support their POV, rather than accept that *no* government is actually good and *any* government needs to be highly transparent and accountable otherwise people *will* suffer.

I'm reminded that the biggest reason I didn't wind up in the military is that I grew up in an area which pushed the Army at me, and all it would have taken is the right recruiter promising me work as a helmsman, diver or translator, and I would have made a probably *terrible* decision.
