The West Wing: President Bartlet owns religious nut

My hubs has an idea. He wants to see the original Hannibal Lector, played by Anthony Hopkins and the TV version Hannibal played by Mads Mikkelsen, along with Hell on Wheels villain Thor Gunderson, played by Christopher Heyerdahl, in a VILLAIN movie together.

I would be too scared to watch it... but I'd write that script... BOOM!

Appreciation Friday: Artist Sidney Nolan

Things I'm learning about him:

3. He was torn between being an artist or a poet

Nolan was obsessed with the works of French poet Jean Nicolas Arthur Rimbaud. But thank god he followed his visual artistic pursuits, otherwise we wouldn’t have his amazing Australian paintings to boast about, like this one:

4. He was passionate about all things French

Whether it was poetry or paintings, Nolan revelled in French arts. He drew inspiration from 19th-century painter Henri Rousseau. He also loved Picasso and Cézanne. And in 1957, he studied engraving and lithography at Atelier 17 in Paris.

(3, 4, me too! but i can't paint... )

I love this guy!

Road Rage

We had a truck following us in Northampton an hour ago. He was waving his hand and flipping us off. Now that is what worries me. Road rage! What if he had a gun? We were looking for a plumbing supply store. It was a left turn. He went around us waving like a mad man. I hate that.

In 1983, the Police released their last studio album, Synchronicity, which spawned the hit singles "Every Breath You Take", "Wrapped Around Your Finger", "King of Pain", and "Synchronicity II". By that time, several critics deemed them "the biggest rock band in the world." (WIKI)
