Because of the whether I spend a lot of time at the movies these days. An other great movie is Der Bader Meinhof Komplex, from the makers of Der Untergang. It tells the story of the Baader Meinhof gruppe - a terrorist organisation in the 1970s in Germany. I remembered the history vaguely - but this movie really gives a pretty good insight in how these guys became from a modest protest organisation to a complete out of hand gang of lunatics.
In the latest DHW episode Andrew and Alex announced that they are getting married :-) Bree will do the catering of course... It also zeroed in on Alex's past as a gay porn star...
It was
touching to see Bree take a little bit more of an interest in Andrew's
personal life, after ignoring it for so long. Or as Andrew said last
night, "Not every boy can say that his mother is willing to rent gay
porn for him."
Before all that, though, the dinner party Bree threw was perfectly
Bree-ed out and humorous. "Look at you two, sitting so far apart.
Scootch over!" she encouraged Andrew and Alex, trying to show that she
was totally fine with them being together. And then this little funny,
but totally throwaway line: "Now, who would like a strawberry
daiquiri?" Yes, Bree, because the gays love a good strawberry daiquiri!
Always!
More than 10,500 men across 25 European countries were asked to
measure their penis by the Institute of Condom Consultancy,
based in Singen, southern Germany - and the French came out (literary) on top with a claimed
average length of 6.09 in (15.48 cm). This was 1.2 in (3! cm) longer than the Greeks, who had the shortest average measurement in Europe.
So are French guys really that large (and the Greek so small) or are the Greek just the most honest. My experience is that on average Europeans all have the same size... ;-)
We were waiting for Santa Claus to visit us at No&Go. Luckily he came and brought nice presents and true poems...
Une Melancolie Arabe is an account of the author's early years when many young men arround him have turned to homosexuality, which they consider simply
an alternative practice. "But it was different for me," he
says. "I was serious about it." ;-) - It is a great book.
Last time the "big (?)" three arrived in Washington to ask for $ 34 billion in bailout they came with their corporate jets. This week they came with their hybrid cars - But have a close look: The Chrysler isn't being made anymore after they shut down the assembly plant in Newark, Del. The Ford is still a huge - unsellable SUV and the Chevt Maliby hybrid is an ugle as it can be... I hope the park their cars way out of site of capitol hill - because with these wheels they won't get a dime...
I was impressed by the photo's of Hendrik Kertsens which have a sort of Vermeer feeling around them. The rest of the PAN I thought was not so interesting...

This new design watch comes with a one hand dial that covers 24 hours (one revolution per day). Pretty neat!
My old buddy Chuck got married to his high school sweetheart last week. He volunteered to go back Iraq immediately afterwards...
