I now know how to cuss in 2 new languages.

Michelle and I watched 4 movies this afternoon/evening and it was wonderful. They were all foreign or documentaries. My favorite one is called the Green Butchers and is a Danish film with English subtitles. It has many great quotes that I'll post in a bit.

The first one we watched was "My Wife Maurice" and it is a French film. It has men dressing up as women to pose as people they aren't to fool other people and ends up being a really, really funny movie. It has some good quotes to it.

"Watch your horns, we're going under a bridge."

"I feel sorry for the poor real estate agent hiding in the closet."

There is this whole spiel from Maurice about being in touch with his feminine side but not being effiminate. Its great.
And just becuase it amused me so much...one of the character's names is Johnny Zucchini.

The second one we watched was a documentary about Henry Darger called "In The Realms of the Unreal" It is really interesting and kinda odd. Henry Darger was this janitor that lived in a one room apartment and painted and wrote a story called "In The Realms of the Unreal" about these 7 sisters and their fight to get out of child slavery. I'm still not sure what to think about this guy but I would like to see some of his paintings and read his book just out of sheer curiosity.

The third one we watched was The Green Butchers. It is by far the best one in my opinion. It is about these two butchers that open their own shop and end up being very sucessful but its because they are using humans as their meat. I know it sounds gross but it is quite funny. Some of the best quotes from it are:

"Svend. You have a sausage on your head again."

"I don't have any tea. I have lots of weed, will that do?"
"Yes. If you have milk and sugar."

"I smoke 20 joints a day. I wouldn't be able to smell it if my hair was on fire."

"Its a long story really. I've always been facinated with sausages."

"You can't turn a turtle into a race horse, but you can turn it into a fast turtle."

"Its mythological to kill an animal and then mock it by sticking it in its own intestine. Can you imagine anything worse than being stuck up your own ass?"

"My marinade may need some work, but don't disparage my meatballs."
"They're so fucking tough you could blow them up like balloons."


The last movie we watched was "The Lady and the Highwayman" This is the $1 one that I picked up at Walmart for Michelle since it has Hugh Grant in it. Its kind of a historical movie, but I'm not sure how true this story is. But it has Hugh Grant with some horrendous hair extentions. Unfortunately the last part of it was messed up on the DVD so we don't know how it ends. We are kinda sad since we want to know which distant cousin ends up with which distant cousin. Royals and all their incest.

Since The Lady and the Highwayman was in English and didn't require all our attention Michelle and I both worked on other stuff. I worked on my painting and have it pretty much finished, I just need to do my touchups and I'll be happy with it. I also started my next one and I'm excited about it. Its a gift and that makes it even better. :D Michelle worked on a rosery that she is sending off to a friend.

My back is feeling better after quite a bit of meds and rest. I just hope I'm able to get into the PT on Monday to get evaluated. If not Wednesday is going to be the next day that I can unless they are open really late so I can go in after work.

Anyhoo...I'm off to bed now so that I can make it to church in the morning.

Oh yeah...the two new languages I'm able to cuss in are French and Danish. I already knew Italian and German.
