I will be the pattern of all patience; I will say nothing.

Do butterflies poop?
Apparently not, according to this article.

Believe.
Everything you read on the internet.

Viggo said
Famously that he was more observant of life when he had a camera in his hands. Maybe.

I think nothing makes you more appreciative of anything until you know you won’t have it the same (or at all) for long.

It’s a slow day
After a week of cranking up the heat in the office, getting everything back on track, today it feels like I’ve slammed into a brick wall cos I was looking everywhere else except in front of me. Perhaps it’s just the holidays. Or maybe it’s cos I haven’t had a proper caffeine infusion.

I did manage to get a cup of tea from the cafe downstairs. If you ask for Peppermint Tea, they make you a cup of BonTea (teabag and all) and crush a couple of fresh spearmint leaves in. It’s not unpleasant, though. It’s like drinking tea while chewing Wrigleys.

Scrapping plans to scrap the store
So Robinson’s is doing a 180 degree on their earlier plan to sell the store, break out the champagne?

Looking forward
Well, life has to go on despite the conclusion of Lord of the Rings, and even though I’ll never look at epic movies the same way again, I know I’ll find a way to go on.

I’m already looking forward to a few movies this year.

• The Passion of Christ
  I hope it makes it here. Even though I’m skeptical about Mel Gibson’s ability to be balanced (look at Braveheart). Apparently James Caviezel was struck by lightning twice during filming.
• Big Fish
  It has Ewan McGregor, what more can you ask for?
• Kill Bill Vol. 2
  Conclusion to my favourite slasher-fest.
• Troy
  Orlando Bloom, Brad Pitt, lotsa action, good enough for me.
• King Arthur
  I’m skeptical about the storyline of this one. But I’m going to watch it just to hear Clive Owen speak.
• Alexander
  I’ll think about this one a bit more. I’m not a big Oliver Stone fan. He did manage to make a perfectly fantastic Tom Cruise look awful in Born on the Fourth of July.
• The Incredibles
  The Pixar offering for the year.

Looks like the movies this year are going to be doing a lot of looking back.
