Backstabbing Friend

We didn't make it to the Bond movie... Here's a story filled with lies and deceit, a story so injurious you will feel sick to your stomach.

My so-called friend had been telling me all week how excited he was to see the Bond movie, telling me I shouldn't see it before he came to town because we would go see it. Of course I get more excited, because I feed off other's excitement, so I was starting to really anticipate the Bond movie (for evidence please witness the previous post). We were going to go yesterday, but I ended up feeling tired and pretty sick, so he just came by the house and hung out. This is when he dropped the bombshell, he told me it wasn't a big deal that we didn't go, he had already seen it! He just wanted to see it again, and was putting up a full-fledged charade to make me think he hadn't already seen the film. He lied to me! And if you know me, you know no one lies to me and gets away with it unpunished (a moral code I've learned from my diligent study of violent movies). My trust in him is shattered, I hope he reads this and feels soooo guilty that he sends me a million dollars to buy my loyalty back (hint, you should do this my friend! by the way, that's cash! I don't accept checks or money orders). We don't have anymore opportunities to see the film, because he is going back to work in a place far far away.

Sorry, that wasn't bad at all, I just thought it was funny that he didn't tell me he'd already seen the movie. For revenge I'm just trying to crush his spirit by screaming billingsgate (first time I ever use that word, I like the sound of it) and writing hateful, spiteful words against his character and person.

Stingray in the Mail

I got the greatest thing in the mail the other day. A stingray! Well, not a real stingray, but a sculpture of a stingray that my friend made, plus the letter she wrote was written on the backside of the stingray sculpture!!! Cooooooooooooooool!!!!! I think it's one of the most fascinatingly awesome things I've ever gotten in the mail. Stingy the Stingray and I are getting along well, we are now good partners. He's pretty good with numbers, so he does a lot of the business stuff that we need to take care of, only thing is he's got a temper but he's still cool so long as you don't piss him off. Stingy wants to come up with terrible torture ideas we can implement on my deceitful friend, I'm trying to calm Stingy down, he is seriously displeased (at least Stingy's got my back, he's cool like that)...

Sesame Street Tried to Kill Me, Sharks, an Art Link, and the film, Sexo con Amor

• SESAME STREET: Sesame Street just got gangsterfied, so I'm gonna run for my life. I consider sharks, snakes, and airplane crashes as extreme fear-inducing things. I'm in terrible pain and full of melancholy and soul crushing sadness, because I must now add the classic Sesame Street to my list of things to fear.

• SHARKS: Do you, like me, have a morbid curiosity with all things related to sharks? Probably not, but if so, visit this site to fulfill your wacky desires.

• ART: I've been a huge fan of the New American Painting series for a long time. I just realized they have a website, and it's quite good, it includes links to some of the artists they feature in their magazine.

Language Practice: Quick notes on the Film Sexo con Amor in Spanish(please let me know of my mistakes por favor!):

Ayer vi una pelicula chilena de 2003, Sexo con Amor. Es una pelicula simpatica, la cosa que me gusta es en el titulo! Mucho sexo! Pero en serio, el cuento no es dificil a explicar, la historia revuelve sobre parejas de amores que tienen sus infidelades y problemas distintos con el sexo. La pelicula hace pregunatas como, por que hacemos el sexo y como se concilia el sexo con el amor. Los actores juegan muy bien, hay muchos momentos chistosos, y tambien me gusta la musica. No es una obra maestra, pero la pelicula me ayuda a pasar el tiempo de buena manera!

Es todo :)

WAT was kind enough to correct my mistakes, so I thought I should post his revision. Thanks WAT! Seeing the original and the revision side by side really helps me!

Pero en serio, el argumento no es difícil de explicar, se trata de parejas amorosas que tienen sus infidelidades y problemas distintos con el sexo. La película hace preguntas como, ¿por qué hacemos el sexo? y cómo se concilia el sexo con el amor. Los actores son muy buenos, hay muchos momentos chistosos, y también me gusta la música. ¡No es una obra maestra, pero la película me ayuda a pasar el tiempo de lo más bien.
