The Old Fart's Brick Path
Tired, so tired, Mademoiselles and Monsieurs. Nonetheless, I felt I should update this humble blog. There are some things I want to talk about but I shall leave them for when I am more energetic of mind and fingertips. I offer here now just some small dalliances along the brick path of my life of late.
University is going fine. Handed in my first assignment - a review of some stage-play about what it means to be un-Australian, with especial regards to sports competition. Are you as enthralled as I at that theme? Zzzzzzz...
Got two porn magazines as junk mail recently. My whole street did, I believe - except those fools who had 'no junk mail' stickers on their letter-boxes, hee-hee! Porno as JUNK MAIL, I tells ya! And not one, but TWO!! Why? I don't know. How did they get away with it? I don't know. One copy of "Playboy Vixens" and one copy of "Score" ('Loaded with big-tit babes' ... '#1 in big boobs'). We're not talking 'Bras 'N' Things' catalogues. We're talking wide-open beavers. I wonder what the little old Greek ladies along the street felt about those shaven pussies and all.
One of my best friends moved to South America on the weekend, for about a year and an half. He hosted going-away drinks at two pubs in Brunswick on Friday night. I didn't get home until about 3:30 AM which is unusual for me these days, old fart that I have become. My friend shall be sorely missed. But, like most people who make such dramatic overseas moves, I suspect he shall return before then. Or maybe that's merely selfish hopefulness.
I tried to watch "Madame de..." (1953), directed by Max Ophuls, tonight but the subtitles were often white on white which made it too much of a strain to continue watching. It is screening soon at Cinémathèque so I shall try to see it there as it shall almost surely be a better print, with better subtitling. I'm really getting back into watching movies and I shall explain my rationale for such in my next post - when, as I've said, I am more 'with it'. Tomorrow night I think Shantoozy and I shall watch "Sparrows" (1926), starring Mary Pickford and directed by William Beaudine.

I dig Mary Pickford... DVD? And how was the print?
N1F: Big ones, perky ones - I'm eclectic in my tastes, so as long as the woman they're attached to is cute (which many, many women are, to me), I enjoy both types. There's one particular pair I like the most, though, wink, wink.
DN: We didn't end up watching it then. We shall be watching it soon. The copy is on VHS from 'Kino On Video', a U.S.A. company whose prints are usually excellent quality. I'll let you know my two cents worth once I've seen it.
