Passover, the Greek Easter, a bunch of good films and a month without scribbling on this blog!
First of I couldn't hear out of my left ear for over three weeks! A blessing for all who know me!
Second, my left index finger developed a growth of enormous proportions that it became possessed with a Jekyll & Hyde personality disorder!
(Dark Side!) I would be walking in Washington Square Park and the fucker would start giving everyone "the finger!" - women, women with children, the chess players, hippies (not cool!) and even the local clergy (cool)!
(Obi-Wan!) Then without warning it wanted to stroke people's hair - even in 'the village' this can be risque! Then it's walking on the sidewalks at pavement level trying to sniff the bottoms of all the minature designer dogs while telling me to get the telephone numbers of the walkers!
Thankfully the infected fingers day's are nearly over! One more week in the sling and everyone that knows me and everyone that doesn't will be free of the evil digit insult! It'll be nice to get rid of the bell as well!
So the virus that decided to visit me was a real pain in the arse too! No hearing, rapid and vindictive nostril explosions in the most ill-timed situations you could possibly imagine that I'm not even going to bother to divulge into any disgusting detail! I have never seen phelgm like it! Disgusting! So I'm leaving it there! The unwelcome organism finally left and all was well again!
Next came Easter and that was cool!
We were invited to a Greek Orthodox BBQ and I can say with hand on heart it was a blast!
I ate the brains, tongue and the steamed eye balls of a goat that had be 'Q'ued' on a wooden spit in Astoria, Queens since sunrise of that very same day!
Bloody lovely!
Everything was tender, cooked to perfection, accompanied with traditional Greek fare, including a superb collection of fine wines and violent liquers!
I have since pondered how the Greek Civilization ever discovered medicine, philosophy, democracy, engineering, sanitation, central heating, education, homesexuality, wine, while still not forgetting architecture, astrology and some thereom about a triangle that gave the world of mathematics a real hard-on and then manged to write the bloody lotl down and pass it on to us muppets?!
So talking of goats! During this period of my personal plague we did mange to watch a few films including "Killer of Sheep", "The Holy Mountain", "Syndromes and a Century" and last but least, "Private Fears in Public Places."
All showing at the IFC Center in 'the village', the goat related film is definately worth a look, the mountain where the goat nibbled the green, green grass is a MUST SEE, syndromes needs time, patience and a second viewing and lastly the private hang up's of six adults in Paris is an intelligent, subtle and moving piece of filmmaking that delivers a meaningful message to any intelligent audience.
Thats it! Need to eat! Need to find some RAW file for a friend in Canada, find another file to print for a mate in London and then open a bottle of red!
Cheers!
