Happy birthday go_back_chief!!!

I hope you're having a wonderful one. I'm celebrating it by being a meme sheep. I figure I can do this meme because none of the things on it are very negative.:-D

Fill it out if you are so inclined. And get your own! All the kids are doing it.

I just watched a movie called Little Otik, one of those "so bizarre it's hard to describe" movies. Even if I hadn't read that the director of this movie also did Alice, which I saw years ago. Nobody likes close ups of mouths, especially the mouths of little girls reading, as Jan Svankmajer. In a nutshell, this couple can't have children, until Dad digs a stump out of the ground and shapes it to look like a kid. Only the stump/kid's got to eat--milk, porridge, pork, hair, cats, postmen...it becomes a bit of a problem. Definitely worth checking out if you're into that sort of thing.

Never vegetables. Not even stump children will eat vegetables!

(And how could I miss 'observant'? That's, like, the big and most obvious one.)

Heh--funny you should say that, because he kind of has a...what do you call it? A geis against certain vegetables. Like, he really really needs to avoid them.

So that's what I need (trumpeted finger in the air) a geis!

Not a fan of veggis.
