I am so secure in my masculinity that I can actually admit to having watched Pride and Prejudice. This is a miniseries on two DVDs that Strix and I watched in two nights. She put it on our Netflix list, and I could have begged off of it, but I decided to throw caution to the wind.
It was actually pretty good. The actress playing Elizabeth (the main character), Jennifer Ehle, in addition to be extremely pretty, has the ability to convey about eight or nine emotions through her facial expressions in two seconds. I was extremely impressed with her acting abilties.
Strix says the story is very true to the book. I'll take her word for it.
In honor of Bastille Day, show us something French.
I bought this brooch whilst out visiting castles in the Loire Valley in 1989.
Show us a name tag.

I happened upon this tag, affixed to an electrical box, whilst wandering about downtown Denver.

- 09:06 Adam Sandler's "Somebody Kill Me Please" is beginning to feel like the day's theme song. Fucking kidney stone. #
- 14:46 At the hospital for pre-op. I want to die. Also, the old man testing his different ring tones should be fucking shot. #
- 15:17 Damn. Another $650 out of pocket for medical procedures. #
- 17:21 Finally home from hospital pre-op. Feeling little better since throwing up while waiting for my turn for bloodwork. Still feel crappy though #

Hey, long time no blog, right?
A couple of weeks (okay, more like a month ago), we watched From Russia with Love, the second James Bond movie in the series, this one from 1963. The evil terrorist organization with no apparent raison d'être SPECTRE is the bad guy (bad guys? bad people?), and Bond is trying to save a beautiful (of course) Russian woman who is ostensibly smuggling a code cipher machine out of Russia to hand over to the British, but actually is an unwilling double agent and an unwitting triple agent (she thinks she's working for Russia, but actually she's working for SPECTRE).
I really like the plot. It's complex and requires some attention to follow, which is more than you can usually say for Bond flicks. On the other hand, they didn't exactly have the "action" part of "action movies" down back in 1963, and parts of it really do drag.
- 10:27 I've got my urologist's nurse looking into steps to be done this week. I may be having laser surgery soon, like Thursday. #
- 12:43 Stone is definitely acting. Been feeling like I need to throw up all morning. Friday afternoon is most likely possibility for surgery. #
- 15:23 Kidney stone laser surgery is scheduled for Friday afternoon. Going in for post-op tomorrow at 3:00. #

- 05:26 Home from the karaoke party which was still going strong when I left. Time for shower and then bed. #
- 16:09 At Verizon for roller derby. I hate the new seating arrangements. #
- 16:31 On a side note, feeling kind of ignored and unloved right now. #
- 17:46 The Austin Texecutioners are kicking HaRD Knocks ass. At half time, it's 11 to 92. #

- 19:58 At Natalie's for the karaoke party. Feeling sightly like shit. #
- 21:47 Okay, I am possibly not a good karaoke singer, but I am enthusiastic. #
- 23:54 I just used dossier in a sentence. I am the smart. #
- 02:12 We just sang Eddie Grant's Electric Avenue, the first cassette I ever got. #
