A couple of unrelated remarks:
We saw Terry Gilliams‘The Grimm Brothers’ this weekend, which I summarized and described to my egaa as ‘remarkably painful to watch’. The premise (‘Let Brothers Grimm experience their tales themselves’) is good and brilliant: the movie is literally a visual fairy tale of fairy tales, but that’s it. It’s so dreadful and boring that it hurt the brains. If you’re a programmer, consider wrapping a cold wet towel around your head before watching this movie. Or a ‘tin foil hat’ for that matter. Anything.
Earlier we had salad for supper, which had some pieces of white and black peppers (you Europeans call them ‘paprikas’) from Holland, no less. Artificially bred peppers. For some kind of reason that led to a brief discussion about the origin of dogs. Hello Wolf. Meet Peppers.
The World Cup Soccer is over! The winner is Italy. After penalties. Boring.
