Clarity

i needed a new tv mostly because we had one component too many for our tv table but we needed the almost totally useless vcr because we had to run the dvd player through the vcr because crappy tv only had uhf input.

bored? anyway, now i can just stick the vcr in a drawer marked, "items from the last century" and watch bee-utiful dvds on my new (used) tv.

to celebrate this purchase (which, i will note, my parents are calling a late b-day present and paying me back for) we watched everyone's favorite film.

that's right!

we watched LABYRINTH!

now, i know what you're saying. you're saying, "hmm... i remember that movie! i saw that when i was twelve and it was a magical, mysterious, muppetatious glimpse at the glory of david bowie's wanger!

i'd never seen it, and madhavi and me had talked about it while in mexico for some reason i can't recall, so we got it from netflix. boy. it was really crappy. especially the music. here i will quote some lyrics from the big song:

You remind me of the babe
What babe? The babe with the power
What power? Power of voodoo
Who do? You do
Do what? Remind me of the babe

genius! that bowie. his music just got better and better, huh? no wonder people kept wanting him to play his old stuff at concerts. actually, i like some of the stuff off his new album. we all have things to be embarrassed about from the eighties. but sheesh.

some of the muppet creatures were cool, especially the big guy named loblo or bloo-floop or something who mainly just said, "smell bad!" hah! farting is funny!

the good news is, looking for Labyrinth pages i found this page called four word film reviews and some of them are pretty dang funny.

my favorite is for Eyes Wide Shut. the review reads, "Pretty shitty gang-bang."

The Two Towers one is good too, "Run, Forest, Run!"

hah hah hah!

our apartment is looking much better. we now have the office, the living room, and the kitchen in decent shape. and we hung curtains in the bedroom so you missed your chance to ogle my boo-tay.

it's a good thing i bought flowers yesterday 'cause madhavi had a crappy day and dropped a scuba tank on her foot. rose & radish was more expensive than church street flowers but they threw in some extra stems 'cause it was late in the day.
