Pan's Labia
* I finally got to see Pan's Labyrinth today. It was good. Very good. I need to see it again to digest what it all meant to me.
If anything, it made me want to have my very own fairy, who would guide me through life, and keep me safe from trolls and douchebags. I would name it Prudence, and pet its wings from time to time.
Rotten Tomatoes has some great clips of interviews with the director, Guillermo Del Toro, Ivana Baquero who plays the little girl and the (American!) actor who played both Pan and the Pale Man. Take a peek.
* I just finished watching the Golden Globes. Speaking of trolls, why was Donald Trump there? I still don't understand how that beautiful woman can let him enter her vagina. No amount of money is worth that thing humping your cooter. None.
I didn't really have any favorites, but it was cool to see Sacha Cohen win an award for something other than ice skating.
The whole Jennifer Hudson thing is fun to watch too, cuz you know Beyonce is seething, "Bitch, it was supposed to be MY moment to shine! And your fat ass is ruining it for ME!" It's such an underdog story and I love it.
Something dawned on me as I was watching the show. I should totally win a Golden Globe! I'm not sure what for, but I think it would be nice, and well-deserved. I would thank you. India. And consequence.
* My sister is coming to visit on Wednesday for a couple days. With her husband. And my nephew. And my niece. And my other nephew. And they are staying here. She mentioned that she and her husband and the 2 year old would probably stay at a hotel nearby, since the amount of room in our city dwelling is limited. I thought that was a great idea.
And then my mom intervened. "No, your brother has PLENTY of room. Y'all need to spend quality time together. And you'll only be there a couple days. It will be good for everyone to be close." Thanks, Mom. This isn't Good Times, nor are we The Waltons. I'm like, "Fine, Mom. But she and her husband are sleeping in my bed, cuz you do know what happens in that bed, right?" I get a certain satisfaction from putting my republican brother in-law in there. Tee hee.
The keyword is quality. Their family is used to a rather large suburban house with lots of rooms. This will be traumatic for them. The last time my older nephew was here, he referred to our place as a prison cell, cuz of the bars on the windows, or maybe he said that, cuz of one of the videos he found.
And of course, the entire place needs to be de-sexed and kiddie proofed before then. I have visions of the two year old running around screaming with a double-donged dildo (not mine!) he may or may not stumble upon.
I have nothing planned for all of us to do, so this should be interesting.

My sister just left yesterday, she was visiting for the holiday weekend. We didnt have any major plans either, which was nice. I'm really anxious to see Pan's too.

I thought Pan's Labyrinth was good, but I'm not sure if there was any more to it other than the fantasy/mundane parallels. I could have done without all the paring knife scenes and woman bleeding from all over scenes.
Your pet fairy is a sasquatch with seagull wings.

We need to date. Seriously. Any (hot) man of a certain age who can not only wittily reference Sasha Cohen the ice skater and Alanis Morrisette in the same blog post is a man who gets my heart.
And whatever other part he wants...

well glad you liked it, as long as it wasn't a redo of the Tom cruise one I'll give it a shot, but maybe not till it comes out on dvd

You don't know me and yeah, I don't really know you either (expect for reading this blog). However, if you ever want to move in with me, I'm totally ready for it.
You're really too damn cute and funny.

Dbud is one of the wittiest guys I know - or is he more pun-ny than witty. Hmm. I will have to ponder that one - he's also a rapper, I reference the theme song he wrote for me... "His name is TOS, he wears Hugo Boss, he eats applesauce"
Yeah I'm going with rapper - his husband can back me up on his penchance for rhyming. Speaking of Mr. M, I love the new facial hair as noted by Jimbo! Very sexy - now when are you going to get a blog dammit!
dBud: Have you been drinking?

Well, MAL is over, so that rules out some entertainment ...
For the de-sexing of the domicile, be SURE the "mommy box" is taped shut or locked away somewhere. A lesbian friend had a similar visitation, and one evenening the five-year-old neice came into the living room with her strap-on strapped to her forehead in front of the aghast group of adults and said, "Look mom! I'm a rhinocerous!" No, not an urban legend; this happened to a woman I actually know. Who laughed hysterically when she told it.
And, um, my dad found my poppers once while visiting ...

I really liked Pan's Labyrinth. My only concern was that I'd failed to apply antiperspirant (I blame MAL for that) and worried about breaking out in a cold-sweat during the sewing scene.
