For those watching Heroes, the License plate on Hiro’s father’s car was in fact “NCC 1701”. For those who aren’t watching… Hiro’s father is being played by George Takei
All I have to say about tonight’s episode…
That’s probably going to greatly reduce the number of “Claire-Peter” ‘shippers
I’m not really going to go into the weekend concerning the Horizon Oasis officer’s retreat. I will summarize by saying it was wonderful, productive, and I have great enthusiasm for the body’s direction.
I also did a LOT of work with Eleusyve Productions producers on the upcoming Rite of Venus
I got home in time to watch the Superbowl. I really had little interest in who won. The first half was good, the second half… well, Sexy Rexy and the Bears kinda collapsed on themselves.
But of course… the ads.
This year’s winner hands down had to be “Career Builder.” The monkeys never really worked for me and this years Corporate Grind meets Survivor was stunningly well done.
2nd place goes to Budweiser (whose Bud Light feel-good ads got old) who may have been hit or miss but the King of the Crabs spot was wonderful.
Points to Diamond foods for the most surreal moment with Robert Goulet.
But a special nod to the challenging of middle America with two very non-standard sexual moments.
I believe it was snickers that showed two men kissing. (right near the beginning) but the Bulls-eye had to be an incredibly tame and entertaining Prince mini concert right down to the shadow show of his AMAZINGLY phallic guitar.
I just never noticed that in the old “Glyph” and boy did he show it on TV.
Interestingly… no news agency has commented on this.
So… quiet Superbowl. Good, productive weekend. Long week ahead.
Hopefully more soon.
I’m not going to go into a complete review of The Aristocrats which I finally saw on Netflix today while on baby watch.
Suffice it to say… It was amazing. I loved it. And I don’t recommend it to anyone unless you can transcend vulgarity to see the meta-humour.
I would like to point out 2 things from the documentary. One is an fantastically performed version of the joke as a series of card tricks.
But the most important thing is a quote from Saint George Carlin. Because it hit me on a philosophical level at the core of who I am. It’s an interesting quotation because I know it is fundamentally how I feel about the world and how I live my life. It seems to run utterly counter to the philosophy of Thelema that is also very much a piece of who I am. I see how the two paths run together in my universe. And it also makes it clearer to me when I’ve really pissed people off in my world.
I like this because it puts together an idea in a very simple and succinct way while not losing any of the impact of it’s viciously subversive nature.
I do like finding out where the line is drawn, deliberately crossing it, bringing some of them with me across the line, and having them be happy that I did. – George Carlin
Possibly, I’ll go further about “The Aristocrats” later.
shimmeringjemmy‘s work. Really good quiz.
Congratulations. Either you’re a mutant-memoried freak of nature, or you’re an obsessed basement occultist with no life. In the interest of politeness, we won’t deign to guess which.
