The Unexpected Party
(Malex is staying only three weeks in Maryland, and is then going back to California for some research program on retirement savings. He sucks.)
Malex, Janis and Lauren came over today to visit me, after getting thoroughly lost figuring out where to park, and delivered unto me a painting/ collage in acrylic with the words "Fuck Yeah!"
They inflicted donuts and cookies on me, played mancala/ read the questions off of my Trivial Pursuit cards.

Your Educational Link for the Day
Artemisia Gentileschi, an incredible female painter of the Renaissance/Baroque period. Truth is stranger than fiction.

Saw Troy with Jeremy, Chris and Jose. I suppose you would like it, if you enjoy watching all the characters from the Iliad assraped repeatedly (figuratively, of course).
("I'm Agammemnon, I like conquering shit! I'm the villain! Yarrr!")
("I'm Achilles, I'm a big pussy! Boo hoo hoo! I'm secretly a kind and sensitive soul and I have a love interest!")
("I'm Helen, the most beautiful woman in all fo the Ancient World, but for some reason, contrary to every standard of classical beauty, I am as skinny as a stick. Every sign of the vivacious charisma and forceful presence that made me the most compelling woman in all of history will be removed until I am just a generic, pretty face as dull as dishwater and just as forgettable.")
("Let's kill off Agammemnon and Menelaus!")
("Let's remove every sign of intervention by the Greek Gods, every ounce of homoerotic tension between Achilles and Patroklos, and every actor who looks, speaks, or is actually Greek, or anything else remotely interesting...")
("Let's turn the Iliad into a politically-correct, modernist exploration of the human pysche, but with stock Hollywood character concepts!")
You'd think that people would realize that a poem that has survived for over 2000 years has done so for a reason, but no, they gotta go fuck with it.
Morons.
At least we get some good shots of Brad Pitt's butt.
