Hello 2014 !!

January 1, 2014

 

The first breakfast of 2014.

 

Carbs, carbs, carbs. Don't worry I worked it off later...

By doing everything Anderson Cooper told Kathy not to do...

 

And snowballing water with a couple of frogs...

 

You should have seen the dirty looks I got from people when I took this picture.

Geez Glendale, like I was disturbing the frogs in their natural habitat? 

 And then I took a bunch of selfies....

 

Selfie...

 

Selfie...

 

 

Selfie and Ginger Pussy cat hair sweater...

 

 

And wine.

 

 

This is an amazing wine. It's called Wild Horse Unbridled. It's a Pinot Noir, my favorite kind of wine. It doesn't need an aerator, it opens up quickly in a decanter.

 

A nice boy shared it with me. ;)  

 

Anyway,

 

So later on,

 

I'm telling friends about the Wild Horse we drank, which lead to a horrible group rendition of Goodbye Horses, by Q. Lazzarus, as was sung by the character Buffalo Bill in The Silence Of The Lambs, where Buffalo Bill "tucks" his junk between his legs and does the skin-dance - as you can see here 3.20 into the youtube clip.   

 

Not to be confused with Jay and Silent Bob, although Jay's rendition is rather impressive! "Goodbye Horses!"

 

The conversation then went to violence, killers, serial killers, how the media sensationalizes murderers and serial killers, how movies portray serial killers, women, crazy women, Snapped, and lastly my blog An original scene - kicked in the balls which required an explanation from the men in the group why I said women are generally more methodical killers than men. Wait did I even say that? I don't believe I said that. Like I was insulting man's ability to methodically kill? No guys, there is no "win" here. No one gets a toaster! Stop it!

 

But,

 

I then further explained that,

 

Take for example The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, the American remake, not the Swedish original because even I don't like reading subtitles if I don't have to. Lisbeth Salander's character gets assaulted in the movie by Nils Bjurman, and when Nils Bjurman lets Lisbeth go, does Lisbeth do anything (right then and there) to Nils, like pull his hair, scratch his eyes out, or anything, no. She instead goes home quietly and bathes, grieves, and mourns. However, Libeth does return rather quickly and ultimately seeks revenge by subduing Nils and then tattooing "I am a rapist pig" on the entirety of Nil's chest and stomach. And even though the assault scene was ugly and brutal, it was also Hollywood-butchered for shock value while trying to still embed Hollywood-cares public service announcement about condoms (sorry David Fincher, but if you're going to make a scene like that you just have to get your hands dirty) - but I used that scene nonetheless as another example of how women are less reactionary and more methodical when dealing with their anger. 

 

To which my friends said,

 

"Sorry hon we never saw The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo."

 

Followed by 10 seconds of silence. 

 

What??

 

What??

 

What??

 

How do we even know each other?! But it has Daniel Craig, in it! 

 

Anyway,

 

Then we kissed and hugged,

 

And that was New Year's.
